+atari2600land Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Can someone please make a homebrew Dreamcast game? Where have all the people who made them go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'm not sure what you mean, unless you're thinking of starting a campaign to have Shenmue III ported to the system. In which case, I'm all in. The Dreamcast has had plenty of homebrews come out since 2001, and they're still being released for the system with some frequency. You just need to haunt Kickstarter and such to get in on the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 I mean there haven't been any homebrews for the Dreamcast in a long time. I have a couple of them and would like more, but there doesn't seem to be any being worked on or released lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Strange, if you check the Wikipedia link, you get a different picture: 2015: 9 homebrew games 2016: 4 homebrew games 2017: 11 homebrew games 2018: 5 homebrew games 2019: 5 homebrew games 2020: 6 homebrew games counting those expected to be released later this year Sure, 5 games per year is less than one every second month but it doesn't seem entirely dried out? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 One of the reasons I asked why no Dreamcast Subforum At AA. A lot of the DC forums and sites are gone. AA will always live on, so putting it here should help. "If you build it, they will come". Thank you, Albert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juansolo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I picked up Xenocrisis about a week ago on release... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Strictly put, there is no Saturn subforum either, only Genesis and now Dreamcast. I've got no idea how relevant the Saturn is inbetween, otherwise it would be reasonably easy to expand this subforum to cover both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just ordered Wind And Water Puzzle Battle from Goat Store. Perhaps I should make a DC game. I dabbled in PSX development with my old computer, but didn't get very far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariTexas Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 There are plenty of Dreamcast homebrews out there. I listen to the Dreamcast Junkyard podcast....they always tell news of new and in development homebrews for that system. Videogames New York carries many of the homebrew titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 I know I'm bumping an old thread. I want a Dreamcast homebrew that comes in a case and disc, so released physically. I also want it to be on only the Dreamcast. (for example, I googled Xenocrisis, and it comes on a whole lot of other platforms besides the Dreamcast.) I don't seem to have any options for this. I bought Inhabitants, Irides, and Wind & Water, but that seems to be all I can find. What are some good homebrew Dreamcast games like those that I should pick up? I'm trying hard to like the console. I have about 75 games for it. But I can't seem to find that one really great game that justifies owning a Dreamcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 You really aren't looking that much then. I just ordered and received Intrepid Izzy for the Dreamcast. Yes it is on other platforms as well, but quite a few indie games make their way. Check out this site for quite a few DC releases in physical format: https://thebitstationgames.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this site for quite a few DC releases in physical format: https://thebitstationgames.com/ You're right. Have you looked around the web for Dreamcast Homebrews? There are plenty out there to purchase and plenty more on the way. Just look up Dreamcast Homebrew and I'll guarantee you will find something you will like. As for reasons to own a Dreamcast there are so many Sonic 1 and 2, Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Dead or Alive 2, Gauntlet Legends, Soulcalibur, Hydro Thunder, Jet Set Radio, Metropolis Street Racer, Power Stone 1 and 2, Revolt, Resident Evil: Codename Veronica, etc...I could go on. My nephew and play the heck out of San Francisco Rush 2049 and my buddy and I still play Gauntlet Legends to this day. I purchased Arcade Legends which is a great homebrew racing game for the DC. I love the DC and still have it hooked up and play all the time. Look harder! It's a great system. I do love my Sega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is how to attach to them easily though. I played the heck out of PSO on my DC in the early '00s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Bump. Anything new in the interesting Dreamcast homebrew scene? Which games look like Dreamcast games? Quote The indie games are various – some have Genesis-style 16-bit graphics, whereas others look more like Dreamcast-era games. That's really what I'm looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is mixed together, so you’ll have to thumb through each page, but the first page has a new release - Andros Dunos 2 for the Dreamcast.
