Amigakit announced datatype system
Last year the British retailer Amigakit acquired the rights to the AKDatatypes developed by Andreas Kleinert. In a discussion on amiga.org, Matthew Leaman gives insights into the current stage of development. He also explained that Amigakit is not only going to rework the datatypes but also to write a datatypes.library as well as a new AddDatatypes command. For the future it is planned to work "on the datatype system in any meaningful way" which will be the foundation "for many progressive developments".

New interpreter for Maniac Mansion and Co.: Parrot
Another "player" for the game data of classic point'n-click adventures is developed called "Parrot". At least the SCUMM based games developed by Lucasfilm are supposed to run. In contrast to existing solutions like ScummVM, Parrot is being developed especially for the Amiga and therefore is optimized for this system and its chipset. For example before the first launch, all data are converted into typical Amiga formats to make them playable also on less powerful copmputers. At least "an ECS Amiga, running Workbench 2" is required.
