so i'm starting a small side project with fellow gaffer (and irl friend) CMDBob. We are using SGDK which is an excellent homebrew sdk that is proving to be suprisingly easy to use, despite having to get used to the limitations of c rather than the c++ im used to we are thinking of attempting a side scrolling shmup that takes place on a cylindrical arena akin to resogun. it should be fairly simple to "simulate" the game world by usng a front and rear plane that scroll in opposite directions. Im just using gens kmod for debugging at the moment, but fortunately I also have a flash drive for m megadrive, so I can do some hardware testing later on.
wish us luck!
Sounds great!! Will you be documenting you project and progress somewhere like a blog/website?
