`17.Dec.2024`	Case study: Using the Scorpion engine for porting Ghosts 'n Goblins to the Amiga A noteworthy case study shows how Ghosts ‘n Goblins can be ported to the Amiga using the Scorpion engine. Developer Skyzoo73 presents a playable demo of the first level with AGA graphics in 64+16 colours. He was supported by IM76 (music conversion, from 6 to 4 channels) and Griffon (additional help). The port contains many classic elements of the original arcade game, including zombies, platforms, magical transformations and hidden bonuses. The demo already includes game-mechanical details such as checkpoints, a countdown timer and various death animations. Despite some missing or faulty enemy animations, the progress is remarkable. The port impressively demonstrates the potential of the Scorpion engine for the development of new Amiga games. (nba) [News message: 17.

`17.Dec.2024` Electric Black Sheep	Game: Update for Star Dust Wars - Director's Cut The Electric Black Sheep team has submitted an update for the game "Star Dust Wars - Director's Cut" (amiga-news.de reported). The T-Fighters' collisions with obstacles were corrected and a bug in the menu was fixed. The keys F1 to F10 and 0 to 9 can now also be used to control the volume of the music and sound effects. In addition, a simplified "engine" with fewer calculations has been integrated to improve performance on Amigas with slower CPUs. Star Dust Wars - Director's Cut ideally requires an Amiga 1200 with a hard disc, accelerator card and Fast RAM, and can be downloaded in return for a voluntary donation. (nba) [News message: 17.

`17.Dec.2024`	A festive arcade game: Santatron 2024 John Girvin recently attracted attention with the AmiGameJam winner ‘Rogue Declan’. Now he is adding something sweet to the festive season: he is publishing the cute Amiga game "Santatron 2024", which is also part of the coverdisk of the latest "Amiga Addict" magazine. In this festive arcade shooter, the player takes on the role of Santatron, who must save Christmas from the commercial terror. Santatron shoots his way through his Christmas cave, taking out toys and gingerbread men taken over by the AI, freeing his loyal Christmas elves and collecting power-ups and presents. With varied level design, an atmospheric soundtrack and a pretty 2D retro charm, Santatron 2024 brings nostalgic Christmas spirit to the Amiga. The game runs on classic Amiga systems (OCS) with at least Kickstart 1.3, 512 MB Chip RAM and 512 MB other RAM, and can also be played on more modern systems with AGA, even in emulation. Santatron 2024 is available as a free download, but voluntary donations are gladly accepted. The executable ADF and a matching disk label are offered for download. (nba) [News message: 17.

`16.Dec.2024`	Game remake: Extreme Violence 2 V0.10 'pixelplop' is currently developing a successor to the shareware game Extreme Violence, released by Simon Green in 1993, for this year's AmiGameJam. The new game supports four instead of just two players (a-news.de bamiga-news.de reported). In the current version 0.10, several new features have been added and changes have been made since our last report. A summary of the changes: Fixed potential crash when in Frontend on some systems. Fixed crash on exit. Fixed Loading Screen and Frontend Menus running too fast. Fixed big graphical glitches when the map preview scrolls on and off. A lot of restructuring to try and make the game more system friendly If a player gets several kills in quick succession an announcer will say "EXTREME"! AI Bots should be able to correct themselves if they get stuck going around in circles for a while. 1 line fix that stops the game crashing if there are no AI players!!! AI will attempt to dodge incoming bullets. Improvements to the AI path finding. Players should no longer be able to get walled in when level generates. Enabling the Extra Joysticks should not crash the game when temporarily re-enabling the system. Radar dots are now the correct colours for all players in horizontal split. Option to turn on/off permanent blood splats. Option to turn on/off spectating other players until after all human players are out. Extreme Violence 2 requires an Amiga with an OCS chipset and 1 MB Chip RAM and can be downloaded in return for a voluntary donation (longplay of v0.9 of the Author himself). (nba) [News message: 16.
