[size=140]Brand NEW Sega Dreamcast game in the works!

Since Redux: Dark Matters was planned to be finished in December 2012 – but we took the extra time to give the game an 7th "Dark Planet" stage – we now have another team working on "The Ghost Blade" project.[/size][/align:qrv6jast]

[align=center:qrv6jast][size=140]What is it going to be? Well, another ace shoot 'em up for the Sega Dreamcast with focus on arcade action joy and elaborate scoring system. And various player ships too choose from and a load of game modes, such as 5 stage game mode or challenging caravan game mode and last but not least: time attack.

I think it's great they are making new DC games all the time but why do so many of them have to be shooters? They are just so similar, time to find a different genre in my opinion.

LOL So I guess that means you're not tired of all the shooters

Totally agree, whilst i'm a shoot-em-up fan myself, the vast majority of homebrew releases seem to be in this genre.

Names escape me at monent, but i know there's been a puzzle game and a top down (?) Rally Racing game and Gunlord (was it ?) was in the Turrican ilk, but i'd love to see one have a crack at a homebrew aracde/adventure game or survival horror or platformer.

Still, it is great to see the DG getting continued support from the homebrew community.

Keep the shmups coming, please. Awesome.

Rush Rush was what i was thinking of, but the puzzler was Wind and water (something i have too much of :-) ), so delighted to herar there's been another homebrew puzzle game.Was it any good?.

It's a solid Lumines-inspired effort. Here's a fair review of it,
