Here's René of NG: DEV.TEAM and I'd like to introduce my shmup side-project DUX.

This game is going to be a memorizer shooting with focus on blasting action, which means the memorizing aspect will make a rather small extent of the game but is still required for progressing further. But don't be confused with the vertical shooting game, which will come next year to the NeoGeo, this here is Dreamcast only. Given that, it can take the advantages of the Dreamcast system to bring some smooth high-resolution CGI visuals on screen and various other modern features.

Anyhow, enjoy this teaser pic.

DUX will get an Dreamcast release via HUCAST.net on a physical disc around June/July. Pricing is about 20 EUR.

More to come soon.
