Valmond’s Untitled Hack ‘n Slash DS Game

Ludvig Larsson (aka Valmond) is hardly new to the game development scene; he’s already made quite a number of games for mobile phones. He’s begun to branch out though – he started to get the general idea behind the DS and its 2D graphics, which led him to create a yet-to-be-named DS homebrew using DevKitPro and MSVC.

As the homebrew is at its very early stage, there’s really nothing much going on just yet.  At this time, the “A” button is pretty much the only thing that controls the game. You can start the game with it, move around with it and hit enemies with it. If you die, you can relaunch the game by (you guessed it!) pressing the A button. Don’t worry, Valmond knows there are other buttons – they’ll be making an appearance in future updates.

The homebrew is shaping up to be a hack ‘n slash game. Most homebrewers go the way of RPGs when creating games, probably because gamers love whacking enemies and monsters in combat. Either that, or it’s a relatively easy game to program.

If you’re seeing some familiar characters in the game, that’s because the graphics for the main character were taken from the Internet; the rest were ripped off from the old games Valmond wrote a couple of years ago.

As with other newly released homebrews, developers always welcome large servings of comments, suggestions, and constructive criticisms. You can post them in the comments section.
