Here's the trailer for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFtIxc-Ms9Y

It looks like a Bomberman clone to begin with, but there seems to be some very good idea's in this game.

Watch the trailer.

Watch the trailer!

here's the dev's website. I look forward to seeing the release.

It would appear that this game supports 12 players simultaneously, over system link I guess.... crazy!

EDIT: Wait... I'm an idiot lol. that's just 3 dreamcasts, 4 players each.

I am not sorry to reign in on everyone's parade: This game is a blatant rip off of Bomberman.

People can gripe all they want about me coming down hard on every single Dreamcast Homebrew release, but I have standards. It is just too bad that so many in the homebrew Dreamcast development community do not.

We need more original Dreamcast games.

The rip-offs need to stop. Period.

Looks like they put more effort than we normally see, although I don't like Bomberman or any of its clones. The gameplay just makes me nervous. Personally, I'm a lot more excited about Wind and Water, now that IS one original puzzle, and looks a lot more polished (although this is still a work in progress).

I think this game was originally an unlockable mini-game in a demo these guys did a bit back.

Perhaps with more time they could make the game, you know. A bit more dissimilar to Bomberman.

The whole use VMU though, is a bit different to how other developers (the ones that bothered) used the thing. You'd need a lot of VMU's though if this whole 12 player thing is to be believed.

EDIT: video of the game in more action's in looking-over-someone's-shoulders-o'-vision.

EDIT2: I think this 12 player thing is just to do with this mini tournament they played.

Cant say the video did much for me, maybe cus I was so into Bomberman online for DC its a hard act to follow. In some way it reminded me of the PC Bomberman I downloaded to play online, and I hate that.

I am with Lordnikon on the homebrew games so far. None have done anything to excite me and I have to be honest and say I dont think any will for a long time to come.. I always look at homebrew games as just games and grade them as such. Whats sas Like Lordnikon said is they dont do anything new.

maybe they dont do anything new. but if im correct and this dynamite dreams is a unlockable for the demo of the game alice dreams its not as much a rip off of bomberman. if they put the dynamite dreams out as a stand alone game then yeah its a strait rip off. i havnt seen anything like alice dreams on the DC. but that dosnt make it any good lmao.

The game looks very promising, IT is a blatant Bomberman clone, but they have some very cool ideas(using the VMU). However a new DC game is a new DC game, and this one looks like a solid title.
