Also, a quick look at how we create the enemies and scenery for Sovietborgs. From Blender to 16-bit sprites (and to low-poly models the DC can easily manage):
Behold the radioactive centipede and the dead surfer! We're considering the dead surfer to behave like skeletons from Golden Axe: some may remain as pure decoration, some may get up and attack.
Sega Lord X talks some recent developments in the retro gaming scene as 2024 comes to a close... including Sovietborgs among other amazing looking projects like Kirito and Pyron's Batman Returns we're so excited about!

Hey Hombre, I
just saw the vid on the retro gamer boy chan, I forgot it this was only for the mega drive, or also the dreamcast, coz it would be an ideal game for the twin stick. Also will there be a 2 player mode?

I wouldn't be posting here every other day if it wasn't being developed for the Dreamcast!
Also, as we confirmed in both interviews I shared over the last couple weeks, absolutely yes, Twin Stick compatibility is planned.
We haven't thought of a 2 player mode, but if the KS goes well, who knows

Sorry bro, I was tired. I prolly read all that at some point, but was really excited about that video, so I thought I'd just ask instead of looking it all up
