New release from the french coders over at Xtream Lua
Heres the translated news:
Hello has all. I present here my third play in lua to you. It is about a play of fireman or it is necessary to save the poor people before they do not brulent. But above all, and because beautiful images vallent better than of poor words: for those which this image rejects here has what resembles the play today: approximately you direct fire hose as well as the scale. The goal is to go to seek with the scale the characters in the windows. A perso is salvable only if its window is extinct. Persos crament if one does not occupy oneself any rather quickly. orders: to direct the jet: direct the joystique one in the desired direction (between PI/2 and 3*Pi/2) for launching water: [R] or [L] to move the scale: [X] [CROSS-SECTION] [TRIANGLE] and [O] to leave: [home] or [start] to take a screen: [select] it is only about one first version which functions at least (see less). The pluspart of the functionality that I wanted to put there are (not in final version but the idea is there). There remain qq bug but nothing which makes plant. I am nevertheless rather above of this play: I gave myself much evil for *** #@! %, and with final, that row a little, I do not find that super playable ect… Whereas at the base I found the idea very sympatic and that especially for once it was not a remake… I your opinions do not wait badly, especially on the level of the jouability, to know if that is worth the blow that I continue this play or if I stopped the massacre. Graphics are once again shit but as it is me which have do them you comprennez why On this I leave on holiday 2 weeks very far from my connection Internet (~600km) and perhaps from the blow I will pass to answer here but there will be undoubtedly no news release by then. (but once again do not hesitate has to put remarks)

News/release from kuraudo-sama of an update to his Final Fantasy RPG for PSP
+ Better battle system(Still needs work)
+ You can now walk into one house
+ Better menu system
+ Better walking animation.(Not much really)
+ Now worth downloading
--Release Notes--
Wow! I must be crazy or something for releasing this earlier then I wanted, after all those complaints about my game.
But here it is release 3. This must be a new record, because I've never seen a RPG be updated more then twice.

News/release of an update to Brandons dungeon game
Buried in the following slew of SDL updates is a minor comment about the AI. The AI changes, of course, took the most time. Creatures now pay some attention to the effect their attacks have on you. If you resist, there is a good chance they will figure this out and stop using the attack that you can resist.
Summoned creatures are set to attack you, even if friendly normally.
When reading books, skills you know from reading are +, those from items are x, and those you have acquired in both fashions are *.
Change daemons on Quizar's level to Earth Elementals and give them some destructible walls to play with.
[SDL] If the minimap requires more tiles than is in the cache, no longer corrupt the overlay panel after display.
[SDL] Bump the tile cache sizes, reducing chance of NO TILE appearing in SDL versions. (While this could theoritically be infinite, in practice I'm still supporting the flip flags which limits it to 1024 tiles)
[SDL] Swept for direction references for more consistent numpad support. Numpad should work for looking, firing, scrolling page views, etc. 5 will select, 0 cancel (Erik Piper)
[SDL] Clear keyboard buffer after selecting tile so your last keypress doesn't trigger a command. (5 to select would trigger 5 to wait, causing looking at a square to cost a turn!)
Instead of "You step out of the liquid." when one clears the Submerged flag, use "You reach the surface." since this may be triggered when escaping underground entombment.
When trapped underground, you suffocate rather than drown. Same damage, different flavour text.
Status line for being trapped underground is now "Buried" rather than "Submerged".
If you have the unchanging intrinsic, gods will not bother to intervene with stoning as it is not a risk.
New AI capability - mobs can note when you resist certain attacks and adjust their actions accordingly.
[SDL] You can now resize the window. POWDER will select the largest possible integer multiple and draw at that scale. This involved a rewrite of the SDL render path - I think it is now more efficient, but if you see a performance degradation from the previous version, please let me know.
[SDL] Under Options, you can now choose Full Screen to play in full screen mode. It will take your currently sized window and find the next larger native screen res.
One new room.

Dan has released a drum machine for the DS.
Heres the info:
what is it?
nds drum machine, synth and sequencer, intended for live performance
current version: very pre-alpha - lots of stuff is still to come
no guarantees it's 100% yet, please backup your flash card before installation or use - i do not call any file save code yet but this is still a very early version!
source will be available by request once i'm happy with the way it's running
Installation:
unzip to flash card. samples need to be in the following folders:
beatpadsamplesup
beatpadsamplesdown
beatpadsamplesleft
beatpadsamplesright
Each of those folders needs files called:
bd.wav
hh.wav
sn.wav
zz.wav
(defaults have been provided)
samples need to be 16bit wav files, best rate is 22050Hz. the loader is pretty basic and there are no guarantees that it'll load everything properly. samples should be smaller than 100kb - in practice you'll probably want much shorter than that because there's only 8 output channels i can use for this.
dldi patch the beatpad.nds file
fire it up and have fun!
