DIM X a new game by Kai Magazine

Hmm.. The first 8bit system with 3d? How about the Sega mastersystem, it had 3d glasses ????.
But anyway this looks promising again!

Hi, I just saw the news post right now.
Judging by the comments I guess the original newspost has been modified and it contained something in the lines of "the first 3d game on an 8 bit system".
Our original facebook anouncement stated "the first 8 bit home computer" (because we know there were some 8 bit consoles and arcades with 3d stereoscopic support). Anyway that turns to be incorrect as well since I found out there was an spectrum game featuring anaglyphic 3d, so we corrected that statament as well.
But I am pretty sure it is the first msx 3d stereoscopic game
It is also the first game (AFAIK) to support Klingon language (English and Spanish are also available for those not fluent enough in the native tongue of Kronos).
I will upload videos and a playable demo very soon.

Yes Kai my fault, I was not precise like you wrote in facebook so I deleted the comment, now it's fixed. BTW if you still have the chance, I would modify the big MSX2 logo, it's not the original one and should be like the one you show just below. Sorry if I'm so purist .

Dim X preorder + video + demo

This video is recorded at 60fps. Please make sure you play it on youtube directly and you select HD720p 60 in "options".

gameplay video, first half in 3d, second half in 2d

The story:
An 18 year old scientific girl has created a device which allows her to go beyond her 2 dimensional world and travel through the third dimension.
She will travel several dimensions and she will take selfies (photos of herself) in those dimensions to show her collegues.
Due to the constant increase of temperature in the dimensional explorer, she will be forced to remove her clothing overtime, so she will appear with less clothing in each new picture :P
The erotic 2d and 3d pictures will be optional, those can be disabled at will.

The gameplay:
The dimensional explorer bounces like a ball. Basically you have to avoid falling or being hit by enemies or spikes on the floor.
You can recover hit points by bouncing over rounded platforms.
The Hit Points indicator is a small bar at the top-left part of the screen (top-right for player 2).
There are special platforms which will help you jump further.

There are 4 dimensions and 6 stages in each dimension, so a total of 24 stages.

The 2 players mode is both cooperative and competitive at the same time:
The player who dies first loses.
If both players arrive at the end of the stage alive, the player with more HP wins.
If one of both players reaches the end of the stage, both will proceed to the next stage.

I am attaching a small demo so you can test the 3d:

demo rom

Your tv/monitor color setting should be calibrated accordingly. In most cases (if the color setting is in the middle, at 50%) you will see the 3d correctly.
Your glasses can affect the experiencie as well, since not all glasses have the same tone of red and blue. Some glasses even gave the colors inverted (the red should be in your LEFT eye and the blue in your RIGHT eye).

You can flash the demo in your megaflashrom with the following dos command:

OPFXSD dimxdemo /k5 /u

The game is fm pac/msx music compatible, music module/msx audio compatible and moonsound/opl4 compatible.
If you use moonsound, the sound effects will be played in moonsound only in turbo-r computers
Msx2 and 2+ computers will use PSG to play the sound effects, and the PSG will be played via your tv speakers (not together with the moonsound, sorry).

This game contains some modified open source material.

The game will be available on December 3rd in digital format at 12 euro and cartridge format at 42 euro + shipping.
The shipping costs to Europe are 9,80. Shipments outside Europe are 12,80

Those who wish to support us by purchasing the game in advance (so we can purchase the cartridges) will receive a discount of 3 euro (39 euro) for the cartridge version, as usual.

Thank you everyone for your amazing support!

I just watched the video and in that the 3D works really well with anaglyph glasses; I didn't even need to adjust anything.
It helps you didn't go with a "wild" color palette; anaglyph is usually pretty straining on the eyes but I was relatively comfortable watching the YouTube video.

Reminds me of Life in the Fast Lane and Bounder But then cool!

Yes, I took Bounder as the main inspiration source.

I do have a 3d tv set which can show any image source as 3d SBS (side by side).
I did tests with the msx and it works perfectly. The problem:
first, each user needs a 3d ready tv compatible with SBS.
Second, SBS 3d halves the horizontal resolution, so what you see is a 128x212 3d image (instead of 256x212). It is too low, it looks like amstrad.
SBS gives you full colors but it halves the resolution.
I went for the cheapest, more affordable solution which also gives full resolution, at the cost of full color: anaglyphic 3d-
