Apollonia v0.04 For The Homebrew Idol

PSP homebrew - Apollonia v0.04

The makers of Apollonia is hoping to enter this v0.4 version to the Homebrew Idol 2 contest. Code Tactics, the maker of Applonia, went on with a new update of this homebrew airstrike game for the Playstation Portable.

But because they are considering entering this to the contest, they added a few more optimizations and tweaks in it. Here are they:

Features:

  • Chase camera – The default camera view is from behind the helicopter, rather than from isometrically above. The original (retro) camera view can be selected from the controls screen.
  • Player profiles – Player names and data can now be saved to a database.
  • Enhanced particle effects -ÊThese are used for missile impacts and bullet to ground impacts.
  • Airstrike! – An A-10 Thunderbolt II can be called using L+R trigger. Includes audio.
  • New Apache model.
  • Ingame messages can be printed to the HUD.
  • Briefing screens – To add meaing to the madness, there are short mission descriptions for each mission (excludes Instant Action).
  • Three new missions.
  • Friendly tanks.
  • Player Statistics – Mission data is saved to a player’s profile. This includes flight time, accuracy, deaths etc.
  • Post mission score board -ÊThe score board summarises statistical data of a just completed/failed mission.
  • New Ammo and Health display on the HUD.
  • The player helicopter can start some missions airborne.
  • New factory building.
  • Existing buildings have been scaled more accurately.
  • Tweaked existing missions so that the player is less likely to be overwhelmed.

Some of the issues rammed, however, to the new Apollonia is that there are sometimes incorrect textures loaded, the three player profile limit, high memory usage and that suspend mode is not supported. But besides those, the Apollonia v0.4 works well for me.
