Overview

History

The creation of Dragon Ball Z Devolution began in 1999 as a game for the TI-89 calculator. The graphic style was inspired by the RPG Dragon Ball Z: Goku Gekitōden on GameBoy. But it's development was quickly halted.

In 2004, the basics of the game were transposed to Adobe Flash. The first playable release was named Dragon Ball Z: Tribute. The graphics were black & white, it had few characters and no music. This old version can still be played on Newgrounds.

In 2010, the development started once again to become the game it is today. Thanks to the help of several fans all over the world, Dragon Ball Z Devolution now have a complete story mode with tons of unlockable content and  a custom 8-bits music soundtrack.

Since, Dragon Ball Z Devolution is still in a non-stop development state with nice features being added from time to time. The next release will have all the Side Stories characters, and it will be launched by the end of august 2013.

Music

The 1.0.1 release (31th of january 2013) had the addition of custom 8-bits music arranged by David Revel (Darvel)from the original soundtrack of Shunsuke Kikuchi.
