Apollonia v0.03 Just Lurched Around The Bend

The notoriously proficient underground development team, Code Tactics, has just released an update to their top-down airstrike-style game for your PlayStation Portable. The developers call Apollonia v0.03 more of a “maintenance” update, citing improvements in game performance. Here’s the changelog from the dev crew (referring to builds for all platforms):

• Added some new buildings.
• Improved performance on PSP.
• Improved particle engine.
• Fixed renderer to support OpenGL versions less that 2.0.
• Fixed crash in control screen.
• Fixed error in paths to resources in Linux.

Here’s the description of the game, from the development team’s website:

“Apollonia (this game’s working title) means “Destroyer”, the feminine version of the Greek name Apollo. It seemed an appropriate name for an AH-64 helicopter and it also seemed like an original name until we found out that Apollonia Vitelli-Corleone was a character in the famous Godfather movie.

This game is essentially a tribute to the old Desert/Jungle Strike games for the Sega Mega Drive and PC (see wikipedia). Apollonia was made specifically for the PSP, as it seems a worthy platform to give these games justice. (I could never get Jungle Strike running under emulation on PSP, so we made our own).

At the moment, other platforms are straight ports of the PSP version (and thus use the 480×272 screen size), but more native functions will come in future releases.”

Thanks to Code Tactics for their hard work on this cool game, and we’re looking forward to watching it evolve into something truly epic.
