    Guys:

    Anyone working on a homebrew game here?

    I was working on my car game, but I put that on hold and am working on my football game again, I'm hoping to have something playable with 2 months.

    What other homebrew projects going on?

    Jeff.

    heh, funny you should ask... I just started a new game (an game engine). Its called XEyes the game (Any unix geek should know what XEyes is). You are a floating pair of eyes shoot lasers of different sorts as the game progresses.

    I'm still working (for the last 3 years...) on porting Megapanel (Megadrive game) to the MSX (1 & 2), got most of it, added a 2 player mode, but still trying to think of a way to get the panel checking to work faster and more effectively as well as getting some other people to do some graphics, sound and music when it's done.

    Alot -- but only for Windows and Gnome. Though, all of my and my friend's projects never see beyond the beta stage :)

    We have tested alot of genres though. FPS, RPG, horror.

    Yep, just finished up Frog Feast for the Jaguar CD and FM Towns. I'm trying to wrap up the CD32 version, and get to the Jaguar cartridge version.

    I'm also contemplating the next project, as Frog Feast is about to be put out to pasture.

    I am actually working on several different things, all N64 related. Namely a demo/intro, game, and some testing hardware.

    A few screenshots (running in PJ64 because I lack a video capture card)

    Frog Feast on the PSX would be nice! I heard a rumor that the programmer might do it. I'm crossing my fingers.

    Yea, that Alleycat 64 looks great, nice work on the other screenshots you have too!

    Cool stuff so far from everyone!

    I thought I remember an Alleycat game on the Atari ST. It was really fun. It would be cool if this game turned out to be the same but in 3D.

    I remember playing Alleycat back on an old PC quite some years ago, and it was fun :) I believe I was 11 when I played it. So it is long ago.

    I'm about to start working on a FPS game, that some friends and I thought up a while back. It will will be along the lines of the 007 games. But it won't hardly be as exciting as the 007 games, though.

    kammedo,

    Why not learn gamecube as well? I've seen lots of support for homebrew on the GC. Just curious on why you chose N64 over like a gamecube.

    I'm getting into n64 development too (thanks to marhallh) and got one or two ideas for a game.

    Currently i'm learning (again) to create simple 3d models with blender but i'm so slow that it's starting to get frustrating...
