Dcsquares is another great game. in a way its a shame that you only get one vote because there are so many great games! oh well

..how should you know if no one tells you

well thats one of the good things about a poll like this, coders can find out how popular their games was, to a degree...

I did do a lightgun driver - however, I'm not sure how much of this got used in Revolver - Toastman has some lightgun code now too which I talked with him about - hope that sees its way into a public forum somewhere...

Sprint was another thing that I never quite finished - in fact I'd lost the source for it - just found a copy of it again and perhaps I'll find time to tinker with that...

I can't wait to see Sprint

I recently downloaded bloop_demo_180503.zip, but I could'nt get it to work :'( Would you mind re-releasing it, freshly compiled? Maybe it'd work then?

Eric, you got it. the game is far from complete and that`s why I called it "DCASTLE preview"...so please be patient and have a look at the second preview....this version should be "more" playable....

the first version just ends if you destroyed SMILY (the yellow model with the strange skull Â*;D ) that`s it....


I vote for Alice!

[Maximo2703]

my vote goes on Bugs

[Kamjin]

I got votes ;D Thankya!

There was quite a bit of good stuff this year, really hard to decide..
DCastle and Revolver are definately the lookers.
I found myself playing Joggle quite a bit as well.

I love light gun games so My votes goes to Revolver..

Funny you mention that, because I remember someone telling me to do a graveyard level many months ago...maybe it was yourself. I cannot recall.
Thank you for the vote though

This isnt a vote rather a small simple review on why i chose Joggle.

Bug is a great game dont get me wrong and the reason why i like it is that it clings both Invadors and Galaga in one game and also brings a little bit of the past. Why i didnt choose this over Joggle was that we needed something new for a gaming system and Joggle was that kind of game. I havent really seen a word puzzler for a gaming system besides the good "ol" WordTris for Super Nintendo.

It does bring a bit of the past but seen as how there isnt many of those games out there and if there is they are "how to spell" games for the kiddies and this way Joggle brings "how to spell" games for the whole family. Now i know with the just demo releases that is a try before another thing is release but with demo's i also test how much is completed so we know that the next demo will give us a clearer look at what the game will be like.

Joggle was clear to see what this game is and will be like in the future cause it is just a simple fun word puzzler but it was also easy to complete a demo that would show us what the next release will be like. Even though there is no music in the game its still fun.

The Revolver game is a great game but i didnt like the fact i had to point my gun in a different direction to kill people which made me think away from it and again i know its just a demo and the future release should be better but for my testings i like clear demos to show me exactly if the game will be as perfect as it should.

Anyways this is just a small type of review i hope doesnt offend anybody but will put some clear ideas and thoughts into the voting system and even though i voted for Joggle doesnt mean Bugs or Revolver arent a good vote cause i have differences in fun factors and i dont know what other people like.

don't worry i don't think you could offend anyone that post, you give you reason and they are good reason. people don't like "it sucks" or "its really crapy".

i agree with you the reason i voted joggle was because it was the most original HB game i have play in 2004, i think we should incourage more original games.... having said that a 3D homebrew lightgun game was very cool! Alice looks very cool but i think the controls are not right yet, and DCastle looks very cool but i think the gameplay needs to be tweeted a bit (i did kill SMILY)

personally 2004 was a great year for homebrew for the DC, the bar has been raised... and again this year the bar has been rised again with btime... thats one of the most nicest looking HB dc games i have seen
