A new homebrew Mega Drive title has just been announced called Planet B, which will offer Sega fans plenty of procedural roguelike action.
"Planet B is a roguelike with randomly generated content," says developer Overrated Future. "Collect dungeons, items and story elements to live the end of time in a pre-apocalyptic world, alone, connected via the game console of the future."
The teaser below shows a little of the gameplay we can expect from this one. The player character is shown exploring a shattered world, collecting loot and dealing with various monsters.
The Mega Drive has seen more than its fair share of homebrew projects in recent years; we've got stuff like new ports of Final Fight and The Simpsons rubbing shoulders with brand-new efforts, such as Yuzo Koshiro's forthcoming shmup.

Looks good! I'm intrigued at how 'random' the randomness can be, only because you're limited by RAM and storage. But I guess clever programming can squeeze every last byte out of the source machine. Here's hoping for a digital release, or one for the Evercade, so I don't need to buy a megadrive to play this!
I'm a huge MD fan, not really a fan or procedural or rogue games, but, I cannot deny that this looks awesome. Not totally sold on the main character. It would look better if it were a futuristic fantasy style in my opinion. D&D in space vibe.
