Home Cookin’
We take a look inside the larder and find out
about what’s happening in Homebrew.
Much like a teenager’s face, there’s been a pimple-like burst of action on
the PC Engine homebrew scene recently. Here’s a preview of some the
major titles that you can look forward to firing up in the future.
FROZEN UTOPIA
MYSTERIOUS SONG
In development for nearly as long as Duke Nukem Forever, Mysterious
Song is a traditional JRPG, featuring visual scenes and real human voice
acting. It is promised to have challenging and strategic battles and is
nearing the final stages of completion (where it will be presumably placed
into a time machine to be released in March 2010, as the website states).
JUNGLE BROS.
An obviously Mario Bros. inspired platform game, with a cute Indiana
Jones style theme to it. And there’s caves. No platformer is complete
without caves.

Issue 5
AETHERBYTE
RETROCADE
A compilation of retro-remakes (can you have retro on retro?) featuring
homages to Defender, Pac-Man, Joust, Jungle Hunt and the half-pipe from
Skate or Die 2. The Pac-Man clone is called Pyramid Plunder and has an
Egyptian setting, while Atlantean, the Defender clone, is set underwater -
Deep Blue stlye - only it will look and play a lot better.
Also, Aetherbyte is excitingly working
on a way to actually manufacture and
produce HuCard games. The working
prototype was seen at the CCAG Show,
along with a preview of an Asteroids game, planned to be a multi-player
title when used with the PC Engine GT. I
have one of these prototype HuCards in my
possession, and a close inspection reveals
its components to be some hard, brown
toffee, an old supermarket loyalty card and
a strange black oblong that apparently
contains ‘magic’.
EPONASOFT
MONOLITH
With a pretty sturdy platform
gaming engine already in place,
this could be one of the titles
to keep a beady eye on. A basic
prototype has been released to
the public, although it is likely to
see many visual changes before the game is
released. The music is also pretty great so far.
