Hi everyone!

I'm here to present you a game I'm currently developing, with FlavR, and that we are proud to throw into the fight to death that will be that competition! (I am doing too much?)

Here are some info:
Devs: FlavR & I (Léo)
Style: Defence (you know, those kind of games in which you are in your house, and try to defend it by fair means or foul.) / horror (you know those kind of games in which you feed your dog, go to work... yeah? Well it's the opposite.)
View: 2D
Language: C using libge (but who cares?)

You wil have to defeat zombies in 10 stages, everyone is ended by a QTE scene, don't miss it or you will loose. To complete a stage, juste kill the appropriate number of zombies ( or more of course) and complete the QTE sequence.
The commands are simple, use up and down or stick to target, press cross to shoot, sqarre to reload, triangle to change weapon.

There's 10 levels, three differents backgrounds.

The story isn't finished, we don't have already done all the pics, but all stages are ready, and you can play them of course.

We want to thank:
NeoFlash.com for the Neo Summer Retro Coding Contest 2010 (of course )
Xtreamlua.com for its community
PSP-Hacks.com for the Homebrew Idol 3
SceneryBeta.com for the Scenery Beta 2010 ISH
JiiCeii for the blood pic and the BorderedPrint function
Metal Slug for the enemies sprites
and kevinr for memprx and his help to learn Léo C-Programming

When you play, you can choose between 4 weapons(switch with triangle):
-The pistol, 7 bullets in a magazine, 30 damage per bullet.
-The Uzi, 25 bullets in a magazine, 20 damage per bullet.
-The M16, 30 bullets in a magazine, 15 damage per bullet.
-The Machinegun, 70 bullets in a magazine, 10 damage per bullet.

There are 4 types of enemies:
-The Basic, 100 Health Points(HP)
-The Teacher, 130 HP

Title : Hide-And-Seek
Descript : Hunted down by a chaser, a victim has to survive in a closed structure during a limited time. You play victim part against an IA or a friend who take chaser part.
Gameplay : Isometric view in a 3D environment
Type : Hack'N'Slash
Language : C++
Multiplaying: 2 players

FIRST RELEASE
Here is the first realease of our game
Extract directly on letter where your psp is open - Hide-And-Seek folder must be in PSP/GAME/ folder

To be honest, we are a little bit disappointed in the result ... we really worked hard to have a good gameplay and wanted a real own identity for this game.

Maybe we expected too much, we were 14 people in the beginning, 16 in the end. We thought we could go very far but we had lots of problems (it is hard to develop without appropriates dev tools and it's also difficult to manage so many people). We wanted to have everything homemade (that is the purpose of the contest right ?? ) so we did create the concept, the drawings, the sounds, the engine ...the only thing we didn't do ourselves were the homebrew libraries that we used (and we are thankful for the guys who did them) .

We did everything we could considering the time we had. Just hope that you will like the game and if you do, we may continue this project because we really want to finish it. And if you don't then it's ok, we are glad to have worked together and learned stuff

We'll keep you posted for further updates

Known bugs:
- Some bounding box problem in level - you might blocked at some places - but nevertheless its helpful for the gameplay
- Ground clipping problem
- When you lose the game - there is no return in the main menu (it will be fix quickly)
- When you click Home + Quit -> psp will block - you need to up starting button until it stop
- When you launch the game loading screen may or not appear
- Movements with joystick might bug when you turn the camera - press L to put it behind and fix movements

We're even proud of what we have done - Thanks for your comments and we hope that you will be afraid - that is our goal ...

Yes folks, the long awaited Zombie Desert is finally here. Blast your way through hordes of zombies.

The bottom line: if it moves, shoot first ask questions later!

Pistol not hot enough for you? Get your hands on a blazing chain gun, or better yet, a pump action shotgun fit for the Terminator himself! Do work as waves of zombies seek to gorge themselves on your brains. ...

Hello guys,

I have finally chosen to reveal the game I made for PSP-Hacks' 2010 Horror show, also named as Homebrew Idol 3. I have been developing it for a while, anyway, here are the game main characteristics :

Republic of Zombies


Republic of Zombies is a 3D 1st person view survival based on the same principle as Nazi zombies mode in Call of duty series. The scene takes place during the cold war, in a hospital in Russia, where chemical experiments have turned all the patients into.. zombies ! You have to survive endless waves of attacking, groaring and moaning undeads and repair barricades to keep them out of the part of the hospital that you try to keep safe.

There is no limit to the levels. Zombies become stronger and faster upon completion of each round. There is only one map for the moment, but if people like my work, I may expand the game. I am sorry but there is no any kind of multiplayer gameplay currently, and I don't think I will have enough time before the deadline to add one . However, that may be an other thing I'll try to add if you enjoy my homebrew .

By the way, you have 8 weapons available to kill those damned zombies.

4 primary weapons : Gun, Heavy gun, Minigun and Rifle.
4 secondary weapons : Baseball bat, Chainsaw, Crowbar and Shovel.

You need to choose one primary weapon and one secondary weapon at the beginning of the map. I will maintain the suspense a bit longer and won't post any screenshot for the moment, but I can tell you that the project is going very well. I'm using Blender and the LTE Game engine for my whole game. I use PSPSDK without cygwin shit and my homebrew is Compatible with all PSP's - maybe HBL I just don't know as I have only a PSP-1004.

I am done with the scene (fully low-poly textured environment that runs smoothly on PSP, even fat) , the collisions (Aaaw, those were a pain in the ass, with transparent walls and flyings fans going through the walls at 200m/s lol), the shading (Dynamic lighting, even for weapons and zombies), the menu, the weapons attacks, and the zombies (A lot of different actions available in the 200 frames they have for their animation). I still need to setup the round system, to make zombies spawning correctly and to add sounds - that I've already chosen, with a freaking dreadful background ambiance .

Oh and by the way : I am alone, and not so experimented in 3D game engines. I was already making a 3D car game, C3D Burning Wheels, but I had to stop it for the competition and I will continue the project once I will be done with Republic of Zombies.

The game is a zombie top-down shooter. It's a pretty basic kill X amount of zombies in a round, whilst trying to stay alive, and picking up ammo boxes to re-fill your ammo.

Controls:
Rotate the analog stick to rotate the cursor.
Pressing the RTRIGGER will move you in the direction of the cursor.
Press Triangle to swap through your guns.
Press X to shoot.
Press the LTRIGGER and RTRIGGER at the same time to run, though you can only run for a limited time (watch the red meter on the screen).


Version 1.1
--------------------------

-Fixed running bug
-Changed The reloading status to also having a bar, gives the player a better visual reference onto when reloading will be done.
-Added in Background, it's just some nice blood effects but looks rather cool (IMO)
-Added in 4 sounds, 3 are for the guns, the other sound is for when the bullet hits the zombie
-Misc changes: Zombie are a tiny bit faster, death animation faster, how long dead zombies stay on screen has been reduced, limited the number of ammo boxes available at any time to 5 (So hopefully, no more constant spraying with the machine gun )
-Probably forgot one or two other things .

Known issues:
-Does lag after round 6-7 if i remember correctly, due to the amount of zombies on-screen. I could limit this but i thought it would take away the challenge of the game.

Btw, thanks to elite for help with the sounds . Saved me loads of time searching through the vast array of possibly useless sounds. ...

DaedalusX64 is the best Nintendo 64 Emulator available exclusively for the PSP. To eliminate some frequently asked questions: No, the Emulator is not perfect, so any graphical bugs, or speed issues are considered normal. Yes, the audio does not always play full speed and can cause the Emulator to crash. The latest compiled rev of DaedalusX64 can be found below, and I will try my best to upload the latest rev when I'm aware of it's commit. Thank you DaedalusX64 Team, and keep up the hard work.


What's changed in this revision:
Revision 576
[+] Using a dither to make 16bit mode look like 32bit mode (just like the old 3DFX voodoo days)
