Underground DC Developers Strike Back: Feet of Fury

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!"

    When Timothy posts an article not about bashing MS, or Promoting Linux (While baching MS), or posting an article about Game-dev, and then bashing MS and XBox.

    Dreamcast? Why not make parts for the Ford Pinto.

    thank you for your time. and I want my time back for the FUD/hatred that Timothy promotes.

    Oh yeah? Will what about all the people who last purchased a Dream Cast for their console and are currently waiting the next big bad ass game console of 2019? Huh? What about those people? Do they not deserve to have some fun in the mean time!?

    I mean shit EVERY one is suppose to buy the latest and greatest all the time. I finally upgrade from Atari and get a Dream Cast but nooooo that obsolete now. I'm not aloud to have fun with that console anymore. I sware it was just yesterday I purchased "Congo Bongo" for my Atari, then every one on /. is like dude get a dream cast its sooo cool. yadadada.

    Please don't discourage people from making games on the dream cast. Its just not cool man! I got my DC all set up, I can get all sorts a free and cheap games. The next time I get a new console I'll be pluging into it with my fucking bio-port while living in public storage room drinking protien shakes with a video game that actually makes it taste good, but intill then LONG LIVE DREAM CAST!!! BOYEEEE!
