[09/12/09] SuperYumYum 2

I am currently porting the award-winning mobile game, Super Yum Yum 2, to the PC, along with a map editor for optimal capability. Currently available for the iPhone/iPod Touch/Blackberry/NDSi (in development?), I found that Super Yum Yum 2 lacked a PC version.

This game is being programmed for an academic project that is required to be finished by the end of the semester. It will be programmed using Visual Basic 6 and will be open-source shortly after completion.

[22/11/09] Ace Attorney DS Update

I am completely recreating Ace Attorney DS, now with a Lua engine.

Thus, the new name, "LuAA", suits it fine.

LuAA is an Ace Attorney casemaker scripted using Lua. This project is very community-based, so comments/questions/bug reports are always welcome.

This will be open source.

Any further updates will be posted on this blog.

Expected time of arrival : January 2010.

[11/10/09] Operation Libra Update

Operation Libra BETA v1.5 is now out.

Download it here.

Revision 5 includes:

• Fixed glitch in the credits
• Fixed chair angle in bedroom (bitmap art showed chair at a different angle than the vector art)
• Added French/Spanish support (switch your DS language settings to access them)

I doubt I will continue development on this project, outside of fixing the occasional glitch if found.

Have fun guys ^^

[10/10/09] Operation Libra Update

Operation Libra BETA v1.4 is now out.

Download it here.

Revision 4 includes:

• Fixed collision bypass glitch
• Fixed quick-prompt to game glitch
• Fixed tile corruption upon entering maps
• Added a more detailed examine screen
• Added a better ending sequence
• Added external loading of strings (to reduce risk of memory overflow within the ROM)

No French/Spanish language versions of this revision are currently available at this moment. They will be ready soon.

[14/09/09] AADS & Melancholika

Over the course of the day, a plot line for the 1st case has been written by Matthew Hempstead, the story wright and game designer, for the currently unnamed Ace Attorney fan game announced yesterday. A demo should be expected by the end of September.

Artist ALGraphics, the artist who worked on Operation Libra, has also composed some concept art revolving around the prosecutor of the case, "Deimos Aries".

Another game project, lead by game designer Choi Hyun-Woo, has also been announced, due for August 2010. Currently named "Melancholika", the project team is currently composed of 3 artists, 2 game designers, 1 game programmer and 3 story wrights. the game is set to be a Fire Emblem-esque game, revolving around a futuristic theme. Annie Que, the story wright for this project, has written an introduction for the game, including a back story:

"A big disaster has destroyed everything that was known to man, the only ones that survived were children. The world is now shattered to pieces. Many new species of human were also created during the disaster (genetic mutation). Magic becomes the new "technology". Only the members of one specific species can travel between worlds freely. These children grow up and establish a new government (council that involves all the species) to govern the new world. A few generations later, when the old world becomes a legend in the new people's minds, the government becomes corrupt and discovers a manuscript from the old world that allows for technology."

I will be working on both projects during the course of the next year with a productive task team in each. Any further updates of either games will be announced.
