good point. yeah big spritesheets & dynamic lighting would just fail on DS.GyroVorbis wrote:I disagree.Ginto8 wrote:it would probably be feasible, but you'd have to specialize it for DS, and set up the engine to use fixed point rather than floating point.

It would take quite a bit of work to get it on an iDevice, considering Apple's stance on runtime interpretation. I would have to argue that putting this on DS is not going to be technically feasible.
It uses Python scripting extensively, supports things like DYNAMIC LIGHTING, runs at a waaay higher resolution, and probably loads spritesheets that are big enough that one sheet would fill the DS's VRAM WITH a palette employed (look at the animations in the videos, the textures must be gigantic).
A DS "version" could definitely be possible, but it would definitely not be using the same engine for the most part, and would certainly not be using any of the same assets (which is a pretty big deal).
