As you all might have noticed, Tales of Dagur: Coluseum was not released on the neoflash summer coding competition.
There are several reasons that prevented us from release:

1. The Jim Interpreter used as a scripting engine was full of memory leaks and wasn’t stable for use as a main scripting engine. After weeks of debugging, I simply gave up and switched to Arena, which is working great. I had to re-write most of the scripts to the new language which took me a lot of time.
2. I was a single coder. Even though I had two of my friends helping me on this project code-wise (DarkEz and strager), they were both missing most of the time for personal reasons.
3. There was too much to code and test, and I did not have enough testers and helpers on this project, even though I have been asking many times for people who wants to contribute.

All I can offer now are screenshots from the ‘final’ piece which will not be released for you until further notice. I Thank you, DS scene, for your "help" and "support" for this project, that brought it to be what it is now – nothing. I would also like to thank my current team – for their great effort and willingness to push this project to it’s edge when the deadline was approaching even though we knew we had no chance of making it.

Enjoy the screenshots, I hope you now understand what potential this game could have if I got a little more help.

Of course we are far from complete, and we still need help if we want to be able to make the game as good as we plan on doing.
If you want to help, in any way you think you can, please consider contacting me in one way or another. If you want to meet the current development team, or stay updated in the latest of our ideas and suggestions, you are more then welcomed to join #ToD2 over EFnet – where the team is always active, and releases daily output from nearly every aspect.
What we really need currently, is mostly co-coders and story writers.

Just to tease you with what we have currently, I will throw some concept art over your direction:

Donated handheld and games

As I promised, and thanks to my friend strager we increased dualSwan’s speed by more then triple the original speed presented in dualSwan 1.2.1!

dualSwan 1.3 will be released as soon as we will finish adjusting emulation and fixing I/O bugs. The release will include a DSOrganize plugin corresponding to the release version and changes.

Another thing I’m working on is an isometric height map engine which will soon become a game that will use the DSerial’s accelerometer. I will not reveal any details regarding the game except for a screenshot, and you can try and guess what it will be.

Note: No support for the DSmotion card will be included as I don’t have one to test.

Look forward for a release soon.
