Project Dreamwater (Dreamcast)
A downloadable game
A mysterious ship drops into a maze of underground pools and must fight other ships or be sunk.
This is a game for the Sega Dreamcast. I tried to make the game use the Dreamcast hardware enough that it looks like this could not be done without noticeable downgrades on prior generation consoles.
Features:
- A water surface effect (using mipmaps)
- Water physics
- Projectile physics with the environment
- Positional sound
- Baked vertex lighting
- Fake environment mapping (in a later area)
This game was made for the DreamDisc '25 Game Jam.
This game works on real Dreamcast hardware, and I can also confirm it works in a recent version of the Flycast emulator. The water effect does not work on all emulators.
Music and SFX were made by Jamailmusic.
Ship model was made by TastyTentacles.
This game was created with KallistiOS, GLdc, and LibTremor. More information can be found in the README.
Download
Install instructions
To play the game, download project-dreamwater.zip, which contains the .cdi file. The other file, Project Dreamwater Submission.zip, is the Dream Disc '25 CD submission.
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 v2.5 or newer but other emulators may have missing graphical effects.
