Sorry about the lack of updates folks. My son recently turned 6 months old and takes up most of my time now, so we're probably looking at sometime in December for kicking off the beta test.

Anyway, here's a quick clip of pre-Beta footage to show how things are progressing;

No need to apoligize , take care of and enjoy the time with your Son.

I am sure i speak for all of us when i say that we are happy for what you are doing no matter how long it takes. Irl > Gaming.

It looks great btw and its gonna be a blast to play through when ( if ;D ) it is done.

Hi all. I really wanted to have a full beta ready to go for today, but the older my son gets, the less time I have to do Dreamcast stuff.
So this is the best I could do in time. It mostly works, but your mileage may vary.

Merry Christmas all

Here's a new preview build if people want to give it a go. Still not a full beta release just yet, but I've been doing a lot of optimising over the last few weeks - Up to double the framerate of the last build in some scenes, and slowdown has also been reduced by a lot;

Yeah, definitely not for kids. Though there is a warning splash screen during the intro sequence.

I'm starting to wonder whether it was a social media campaign which I took a bit too seriously :?

They definitely know it exists - They speak about the possibility of a physical release of it in their 50th podcast from a couple of weeks back - But aside from the occasional twitter like, there's not really been anything from that end at all, which is pretty disheartening to be honest.
