Sky Pirates of Etalmar Demo (Dreamcast)
A downloadable game
Sky Pirates of Etalmar is an upcoming arcade aerial dogfighting game with a single-player campaign, splitscreen multiplayer, and (hopefully eventually) online multiplayer! In this demo you can play the first two missions from the campaign and 2-4 player splitscreen in one of the local versus multiplayer modes.
The splitscreen multiplayer features bot support to fill in for missing players! Try starting a game for more players than you have controllers plugged in and they will automatically join.
Controls:
- Analogue stick/D-pad to move
- Right trigger/A to shoot. The gun can overheat, so watch your yellow heat bar!
- Left trigger/B for acrobatics. Fly faster, turn tighter, and do loop-the-loops when holding back on the stick, but you have limited stamina, so watch your green stamina bar!
This demo was released as a submission to the DreamDisc '24 Game Jam.
This game works on real Dreamcast hardware, and I can also confirm it works in the Flycast emulator.

Install instructions
This game is intended to be played on the Sega Dreamcast.
The .cdi file can be burned onto a CD, played with an optical drive emulator, or played with a serial port SD adapter. I have only tested the first method, so please let me know if you have any issues!
It can also be played in an emulator. I have confirmed it works in Flycast but have not tested other emulators.

Stunning. I think I'm going to have to watch Porco Rosso again after playing this ha. Movement maybe felt a tiny bit fast for me, but that might be me getting older at this point.
Excited to play the final version!
Thanks! The movement is pretty fast. I appreciate you trying it out!
i loved this demo, looking forward to more!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the demo!
This looks interesting. When do you target a full release?
Thanks! I would like to finish it within 6 months, but there are still a lot of things I have left to do, so that's a tentative estimate.
