Grind: Progress in development of a new Doom clone
Grind is a first-person shooter (FPS) currently in development for the Amiga, which should even be able to run on small Amigas, appears extremely smooth in the preview videos shown and makes you want to try out more. The game is being developed with the so-called Dread Engine (amiga-news.de reported). Tsak, one of the developers of Grind, recently announced news in the EAB forum:

Grind has not only been enhanced with two new music tracks for menus and in-game, composed by Tsak and newly joined Christoffer Magdalus, but has also achieved key development milestones. These include improved particle effects for blood and explosions and the full implementation of the arsenal of weapons, with the secondary weapon being triggered with the right mouse button as known from other FPS shooters.

For those interested, a playable demo and further information are available on the Patreon page of Grind. For those who want to dig deeper into the development, the official Discord server offers a platform for discussions and updates directly from the developers. Grind will be commercially distributed after its completion. (nba)

Emulation: BBoot bootloader v0.7 for QEMU
BBoot is a simple, minimal bootloader for loading AmigaOS on QEMU-emulated AmigaOne and Pegasos2 machines, written by Amiga QEMU developer Balaton Zoltan (amiga-news.de reported). It replaces amigaboot.of on Pegasos2 and slb_v2 on AmigaOne and simplifies the booting of AmigaOS 4 under QEMU. A firmware ROM is no longer required.
The current Version 0.7 adds file name to error message to help finding wrong path and fixes a kernel bug in the Pegasos2 emulation, which should improve stability.

The developer has also provided a tutorial Booting AmigaOS 4.1 on QEMU with BBoot. (dr)

Amiga on the big stage: Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding at the BRIT Awards
Scottish DJ Calvin Harris has been one of the driving forces in the world of electronic music for years. Back in 2017, the Scottish DJ revealed his enthusiasm for the Amiga and the music production of his albums on an Amiga 1200 (amiga-news.de reported). Now he brought his Amiga 1200, freshly upgraded by English Amiga specialist RetroPassion, live to the big stage: At this year's legendary BRIT Awards, which are comparable to the US Grammy Awards, Harris performed together with pop icon Ellie Goulding. His Amiga 1200 with OctaMED SoundStudio made for an unmistakable sound. A recording of the performance can be seen on YouTube and a "Behind the Scenes" clip on Instagram. (nba)
