Something interesting came to my attention. I'm listening to a podcast called RadioNinty and this particular episode they interview the guy that developed Colors. Well it turns out hes the lead designer at Starbreeze (Chronicles of Riddick, The Darkness), Jens Anderson! Crazy.
Also I came across another DS art program and this one is from the guy that made Rotoshop, the program used to make A Scanner Darkly and other stuff. Theres a video of it
here. It looks fantastic, practically Photoshop DS. I guess hes been talking to Nintendo about possibly releasing it as a retail product but if that falls through he'll just release it into homebrew land.
