Underground DC Developers Strike Back: Feet of Fury

Posted by timothy on from the rance-rance-revolution-shraggy dept.

frohike writes "After reading the recent article about game non-originality, I'm pleased to say that there's another entry to the Dreamcast's innovative game lineup, and this time it isn't coming from one of the Big Publishers but the underground: Feet of Fury! This independent music beat game includes player vs player gameplay and a Typing of Fury mode. It was developed by us on a $0 budget using Linux, Gimp, and various other free tools over the past few years, and it uses the BSD-licensed KallistiOS toolkit as its base. (This is the same toolkit which most homebrew developers have written the emulators and such with.) We've used a number of neat free software technologies such as Ogg Vorbis in the game itself, and we contribute a large chunk of our code back to the community in the hopes that others can follow in our footsteps. There is even a publisher ready to help you get your ideas to fruition and sell them for you, so what are you waiting for? Now's your chance to be a console developer too. Let's make some great new innovative Dreamcast games!"

    ...saw the headline and assumed "Feet of Fury" was a new DC comic being developed in some kind of Batcave like facility?

    Thought there were some developers underground in the District of Columbia. Given the disaster that is the tax code, I don't want the bureaucrats touching any source...

    Troll = misleading information/obscenely contrary viewpoint for the sole purpose of getting angry responses (or, even better, responses that corroborate what you said by idiots that believe it because it sounded good)
    Flamebait = insults, stating a valid opinion in an extremely invalid way (i.e. "you're a fucking idiot if you think that using lunix is worth your time")

    Or something like that. This post, for instance, is a troll.
