Pretty cool. He reminds me of Grey Fox from Metal Gear but with more lasers.

Thanks Adrian;
Improvement came for the feedback I got, and I got gradually a feel what people expectations are for a game in the context we are in now.

I'll be posting boss 2 video as soon as it is done. This boss will have a special 2 phase combat in Shadow Gangs :)

Hi Everyone;

I have some good news about the Dreamcast port.

I started getting the dev toolkit (KOS) and setting it up, also reading documentation and code etc...
I managed to compile the code for Shadow Gangs for the Dreamcast, and actually run it on an emulator (NullDC as I have no Dreamcast) and setup the filesystem used by the game.

Up to now, it looks promising (no display or sound and controls yet) but hopefully it will catch up with the PC build soon.

I'll let you updated with the progress.

There is also a new music which I like a lot done for the game, you can listen to it on the website.

I have some progress update for the Dreamcast port.

Rendering is working, animation, input and music are all in.

The rendering was the most difficult part, I wanted to use hires 640*480 sprites and I was hitting the dreamcast VRAM limit
very fast.

I had doubts at first, but after digging more into the subject, and with the help of online resource like DCEmulation website things are now looking good.

Shadow Gangs will be using a mixture of modified OpenGL + native PVR functions and is feasible 100%

Bellow is a picture of a test level running on the NullDC emulator, and I hope to show a video soon.
