Dash across Scenic Locations destroying bug like creatures called the Flanx using 6 Unique Attacks that include Massive Terrain Deformation and High Speed Barrages of Energy Blasts!

Caster is an episodic game that presents an intense 3rd person action shooter experience with pulse pounding music that will keep you wanting more! And more you will have with all new episodes for FREE. That's right, buy the game once and get all additional episodes absolutely free!

This is an amazing little game, and looks like the devs are interested in porting it to our little white box.

If you guys truly want to see something unique ported for a change, please post at this blog entry and say you would love to see it ported.

You can even get a windows demo of the game here if you want to try out the awesome gameplay for yourself.

Always good to see more homebrew DC games. Is it coming out on physical media?

If they port it it will be released on a cdrom and they would most likely sell it.

Remember, if you want to see this ported you need to make a post telling them you want it.

Show enough support and we will get it. They already messed with porting some preliminary files to the system to test the engine.

One of the developers said this.

Over a year ago I also started a port of Caster to Android using the Android NDK but for various reasons it has not yet been released. One of these days it will get completed. Maybe not before the Dreamcast port though ;)

(a year and a half ago I did actually get a Dreamcast build of Caster to compile, link, launch, execute and display a simple quad onscreen)


Well, not currently under “active” development but the initial work of getting the codebase up and running with a homemade toolchain is done. I really wish there was a more friendly, pre-packaged toolchain that I could use instead though. Things are pretty hit-and-miss right now. That said I would like to find some time in the future to work on the Dreamcast port a little more

Come on let see how many RacketBoy members we can get to comment on that blog. The screenshots look pretty sweet. I'll have to get the demo to try out.

That's a good idea, as long as everyone is honest. Don't post unless you actually have some interest in Caster.

Yeah I was assuming that people who would want it would buy it, I know I would. I just watched the trailer, looks sweet.
