Team VUEngine have unveiled wireframe support coming to VUEngine and a new Virtual Boy game in development making use of that feature.

Virtual WarZone is a Battlezone-inspired tank shooter that mixes wireframe graphics with prerendered 3D goodness. The game is being funded by RetroOnyx. A demo is available for backers through both their Patreon campaigns.

New Game – The Red Castle Featured Topic • Apr 21, 2022 22:40 • Timothy Beck • 6 Replies

The Red Castle is a short dungeon crawler created in C using libgccvb. You play as a bird who is trying to escape from a castle. To progress through the castle, use your flashlight to defeat enemy marionettes, solve puzzles, and collect keys. Switch between the foreground and the background to sneak around blocks and enemies. But be careful, the marionettes can and will follow you. You may need to run away to give your flashlight time to recharge.

Controls:
-The Left D-Pad of the controller is used for moving the player.

-The Right D-Pad can be pressed to use the flashlight. Direction of the flashlight corresponds to the direction inputted on the D-Pad.

-The left trigger moves the player to the foreground while the right trigger moves the player to the background.

-The A button allows the player to dash in the direction that they are currently moving in. This direction can only be up, down, left, or right.

-The start button can be used to begin the game on the title screen and pause the game. The A button can be used to skip the introductory story segment.

*Important*:

*The game is designed for use on the Virtual Boy system. Players using an emulator may have trouble distinguishing between the foreground and the background.

*A special kind of enemy type, the ghost, cannot be defeated with the flashlight.

*You need to know how to dash in order to complete the game.

Thanks for the nice response so far. I’ll be taking a break from this project for the foreseeable future, so sorry if there are no updates anytime soon.

VUEngine Studio Preview Release News • Mar 26, 2022 20:53 • KR155E

The day has finally come and we are excited to bring you the first preview release of VUEngine Studio, the de-facto successor to VBDE (Virtual Boy Development Environment).

VUEngine Studio is a custom integrated development environment (IDE), tailor-made for Nintendo Virtual Boy game development with VUEngine, a versatile, object oriented Virtual Boy game engine. It is built with Eclipse Theia, a framework for building cloud and desktop IDEs using modern, state-of-the-art web technologies. At its core, Theia reuses central building blocks of Visual Studio Code and as such, VUEngine Studio looks and feels very much like VSCode and is able to consume VSCode extensions.

Check out the revamped VUEngine Studio Website for more information, downloads, (work-in-progress) documentation and more.

Announcing “Elevated Speed” (new homebrew) Featured Topic • Oct 27, 2021 23:26 • PizzaRollsRoyce • 11 Replies

Today I’d like to announce my first homebrew game, “Elevated Speed.” This is an entry in the (evidently crowded) genre of VB hover racing games.

Preview video (sorry for potato quality): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHXnqZYysas

Initial features:

High-speed, pseudo-3D 50fps gameplay Full audio support with original soundtrack AI Large tracks (bound only by size of ROM)

Features planned for a later release

More tracks More vehicle types Link cable playSpice up gameplay a bit — powerups, takedowns, etc.

Planned experiments: Internet play with cross-platform (already have ports for Linux, WebAssembly and Gameboy Advance) matchmaking — depends heavily on capabilities of RetroOnyx’s Wifi adapter

Technology

Custom engine, written in modern C++Full sound management system with priority handling, mixing, and positional stereoFull 3D game engine (although rendering portion must work within VB constraints)Build system that automatically optimizes assets for streaming from ROM to VRAM

I’m expecting to release a demo within the next month or two. Feedback is appreciated!

Also, thanks to everyone on the Discord channel who put up with my incessant questions (so far…)
