modding a game from source code

[Lexieye]

greetings all

i came across a SHOOT-EM-UP game called DEADBABIES created buy [email protected]

in the link bellow he has supplied both the original v1 and final versions of DeadBabbiesX. along with the source-code.

in the readme.txt he states that he is not interested in pursuing or modding the game anymore 

https://legacy.downloads.diomtec.com/index.php?p=homebrew/xbins/Console Based Applications//games/DeadBabiesX/

playing his version i noticed a lot of things unfinished (BUT) the game dose have potential 

i have only done simple modding to the png files along with adding SATAN music ...(lol)

i only have basic coding abilities and really just want to combine the better parts of V1 & Final version as a project.

i have no clue on were to start and could benefit from any help you guys want to give me on setting openXDK up

OPEN XDK link

link to my copy of the modded game and my improvements so far

Clones of these type of games were everywhere back in the day. However, this isn't the appropriate section to post this development.

I think it's just homebrew, isn't it? I think you should be fine. If I could, I would give you a spot on my future web server.

I believe modern vintage gamer (MVG) has done a video on the 'how to' for programming and making a retail xbox into a Dev machine etc. Shows what you will need on the PC etc and is quite a good video overall for starters.

Correct. I love that video. Plan to do it myself. Add more ram and put that software on there. Another project to do.

Yep, I saw that video of his. He made a more in-depth one for Game Boy development.
