New homebrew port- Matterrun

[FusekiGames]

I ported my Dreamcast game Matterrun, written in 2016-2017, to the original Xbox. If anyone is interested in trying it out, you can grab it at http://atari.vg-network.com/fuseki

No CD image, FTP only.

Here's a video of the game running on the Dreamcast while it was still in development, just a few days from release. It plays the same on the Xbox:

I can't watch the video right now, but what is the game about? 

[FusekiGames]

From the original description: Matterrun is a battle between the player and enemy Seekers, both of whom are racing to find Matter Canisters. The player must find them and dispose of them by returning them to the Disposal Ship, and the Seekers are collecting them to build their Mothership. 

The player has a few power-ups and the Concussion Wave weapon to help them with this task. The Seekers will attempt to steal any Canisters that the player has picked up. If the Mothership is constructed, it'll hunt the player down ruthlessly and attempt to destroy it.

Just gave it a try, it reminded me of Swarm Gold from Reflexive Arcade. Pretty fun.

Glad you liked it. Here's an old video of me playing it on the Dreamcast a few years ago. I just set up a YT channel that I'll be posting my game videos to. It plays much better on the more-powerful Xbox.

@FusekiGames Love to see new homebrew on the good old Xbox, great work. I would love to make up an Artwork set for your game for use in XBMC4Gamers, do you have any art samples you can send me that i can use to create the cover/disc please? 

[FusekiGames]

@nikeymikeyI can pull the assets for you to use, if that helps. Just let me know what you need via private message (include an email if you would), and thanks!

I'm currently working on a new Dreamcast and Xbox game, but will take a look at my other ports to see if they can be easily-ported to the Xbox. My other game, Primitive Nightmare, would be neigh-impossible to port unless I did a major rewrite of much of the code, so that one is out. However, I know of at least two that would be quick ports, so I'll take a look at them as time permits (and when I need a break the game I'm working on now lol).
