Blue-Knight posted this update to his Xcom DS (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=13472&sid=59952008f51d168848eeb3cf7fcd8c71) project:
An update. I have tile selection working on the map, doors working and a work in progress version of the UI. I provided some screenshots showing the UI, tile selection and working door. I need to resize the UI, but would prefer to use the original art without actually shrinking it. I'm thinking of removing the weapon slots on the sides and doing something else for the weapon select. I also should compact the height somehow in order to have more map space. What do you guys/gals think?
Edit - looking at it again, the verticle space isn't that much smaller then the game, you lose about as much space with this UI (percentage wise) as horizontal space (due to screen width difference). So I'll probably keep the height of the current UI and just put in alternatives for the weapon select on the sides.
I'm also working on getting the soldiers/aliens working, as I said before, I'll post some screenshots of them soon :)
