 Sony PlayStation Portable homebrew developer DimensionT has recently released a new version of his top-down shooter game, Assault Mission, and while it doesn't give us the ability to shoot down enemy aircraft yet, it's a good preview of things to come. With a pre-rendered 3D intro, an autosave feature and in-game dialogue, it's definitely worth looking into - not to mention that enemy aircraft are already present.

There's always something special about the first release of a homebrew game. Yes, it's not quite there yet in terms of being complete and there's still a lot that needs to be done, but you get to see the potential gameplay experience it would bring as you go along. Such is the case with DimensionT's little program of arcade shoot-em-up joy, Assault Mission version 0.1b.

Well, it's sort of a flying game for now, as there's not quite much to do except to fly around and enjoy the scenery, as well as the nifty background music. DimensionT, having first released a version that isn't quite running at full speed due to the clouds, managed to make everything run as smooth as silk with the clouds intact in version 0.1b. It's a work in progress and we can't wait to see what else DimensionT has planned for the game.

So if you want a sneak peek at things to come with Assault Mission, the time to do so is now. Enjoy!
