Heres what ritz has posted about his game:


sonic is the development name for my homebrew nintendo ds 3d game project. some notable features include skeletal animation, static & dynamic point lights, shadow volumes, skyboxes, picking, gravity and object & environment collision detection. in the near future i will build the game logic, a.i., scripting and i hope to include an interactive 3d map builder for easy world creation and object & creature placement

this really does look good for a homebrew game.

keep it coming dude. :D

Wow! Great job! It's one of the best looking DS games I've seen! I made a gameplay video of it and put it on YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP1U1RbjmY4 and Blip.tv here (http://blip.tv/file/1095168). Can't wait for the next release. Keep up the good work. :D

This is a really rare combination of great programming, 3D models and texturing !

I can't wait to try it myself tomorrow (my girlfriend has my DS with her today)

[AuroraKnight]

Wow. this looks really nice, I hope he can stay dedicated to it and finish it up, It kinda remidns me of neverwinter nights:D

[Harshboy]

Looks nice (for a DS game of course).

Great Work!

[K1ckass]

Awesome graphics and good controls, this might turn out to be quite a good homebrew DS game. :thumbup:

[iofthestorm]

Nice, there aren't many 3D homebrew projects and this looks about as good as a commercial game. This remind's me of Payk's wolveslayer game http://payk.drunkencoders.com/ . You guys should try to start a company or something, this is truly amazing.

[luminouslight]

All these models come from the PC game Neverwinter Nights. It would be awesome if someone could port it, especially considering the DS can graphically take it.

[kcajblue]

well, he said he would only use those models until he can make his own original ones.

[masterchief929]

that looks amazing. i am looking forward to this game and i think that when it is finished he should make it open source. if he does make it open source it will greatly contribute to the homebrew community. i could see all kinds of games coming out of this.

[Elven6]

It looks good, to bad my DS isn't homebrew enabled.

[crookedmouth]

You might even drop the "homebrew" out of the question. Of course I'm not a fan of "super deformed" or playing characters that look like little kids, like most DS games use.
The one to watch for me.

[pibs]

pretty cool, ima give it a try.

[Payk]

Wow, looks amazing. I really would like to make company with such a talent. lol.
Well...is that developer in this board too.
Or has some one contact infos?
(not for company lol...just for a small talk)

Well, keep up the good work. I am happy to see that there are other guys doing same stuff as i did just for fun. Makes me look a bit less then a freak :P

[nightblade36]

The way the background fades out and has just the polygons sometimes reminds me of Morrowind.

... ... Morrowind DS? :O

[soulanger]

I am stunned :O

yeah got it already. Thanx anyway ;)

... ... Morrowind DS? :O
That would be godly if it could be done; but I doubt that will come to fruition. Morrowind was a lot more demanding than this.

[w00tman X]

Yes, a port of Morrowind may be impossible... Still, a homebrewn semi-clone would be quite possible.

And with graphics like these, it'd just be sweet.

[masterchief929]

morrowind would be amazing w/ graphics like these...

[____anders____]

this looks like it could turn out to be an mmorpg, the graphics is better than some commercial games on DS..

it's time to try it now:)

[linkenski]

man you could create an awesome game with theese skills!

[some_guy_named_matt]

wow, nice!
i agree, i hope he sticks with it and finishes it!

[Matt]

[rigor]

It doesn't work on my M3 Perfect CF (slot2).
I've the latest firmware and game manager, and I Dldi-patched the nds file.
There's the upperscreen with a loading number, and it freeze when it reach 50...Too bad.

[neriphis]

it be nice to see baulders gate ported to ds or to see him add a story to this game
