Driving Strikers is an upcoming online and local multiplayer car soccer game for the Dreamcast and PC. It'll be the first indie game to offer full online play and cross play.
The game has real physics, multiple stadiums, multiple teams, a single player "League mode" and single and local multiplayer matches.
There's a demo of the game on the free Dreamcast cover disc that comes with issue 5 of SEGA Powered magazine! You can get that here:

The game is currently scheduled for release around November time. You can follow progress on the @drivingstrikers Twitter account
Amazing work my friend

Good luck with the project Luke - a new online Dreamcast game for 2022 you're either very brave or mad - perhaps a combo of both. Any thought to Dream mic support or is this simply a ballache too far :p

the priority of determining network devices will be like in KATANA games, first BBA, if it is not connected, then check the modem?

At the moment, it's pretty naive, and sort of the reverse
auto has_modem = modem_init() > 0;
if(has_modem) {
/* We're in PPP land */
S_INFO("Modem is connected, attempting PPP connection");
return connect_via_modem();
} else if(net_default_dev) {
/* Assume it's a BBA and a connection is automatic (for now) */
S_INFO("Assuming BBA");
return true;
}

can be swapped to support combo modem+BBA?

Blimey!
Um, what does KallistiOS do with that? Does net_default_dev end up as the BBA or the modem?

net_default_dev is the default device, BBA is initialized automatically when KOS boots up and if it is present then net_default_dev is BBA, but if you initialize the modem and PPP, then the modem will become net_default_dev

Ok I'll look into swapping it around
