`17.Jul.2022` Amiga Future (Webseite)	RCross: Radio-controlled car game from developer contest ported Last year, the developer competition #hvdosdev2021 was won by the PC game "RCross", which requires an 80486 processor with 8 MB RAM. In it, you control a radio-controlled car that has to complete a course in the best possible time. The Amiga port by Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró requires a 68040 or 68060 processor with FPU, 8 MB Fast-RAM and either AGA or RTG. (snx) [News message: 17.

`14.Jul.2022`	Preview video: Temptations port for CD32 The developer 'S0Y' is primarily dedicated to converting games to the Amiga platform using the game construction kit RedPill. After his Abu Simbel Profanation project, he has now begun the conversion of Temptations, a platform game originally published for MSX-1 in 1988. The basis for this, however, is a port for Android. With the author's permission, he uses graphics and music, but modifies some of them. The music will be entirely in CD audio, as he plans to convert the game for the Amiga CD32. But if someone can be found to convert the music into mods, he might also create a version for the Amiga 1200. Basically, the goal is to create a conversion that is as faithful to the original as possible, but uses the improved possibilities of the Amiga. The screen mode seen in the video was chosen because it comes closest to the 8-bit variant. (dr) [News message: 14. Jul. 2022, 08:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

A few days ago he presented an update to his Unijoysticle 2+ project under the title link: The 'Unijoysticle 2 A500' is a device that allows the connection and operation of Bluetooth gamepads and mice on the Commodore Amiga (YouTube video). It is similar in functionality to the Unijoysticle 2+, but with some additional features tailored for the Amiga, like: Fits in the Amiga 500 / 1200 joystick port without additional cables New buttons: “mode” button: To easily cycle between “normal”, “mouse” and “enhanced” modes “swap” button: To easily swap joystick ports. Useful in many scenarios, specially in the Amiga 4000 where the joystick ports are swapped. Additional LED for status: Tells whether Bluetooth pair is enabled, and in which gamepad mode is selected. Comprehensive information is also available on the User Guide page. The board is available for 35 Euro plus shipping at tindie. (dr) [News message: 14.

`13.Jul.2022` Kevin Saunders	Apollo-Team: Two other games announced Kevin Saunders, graphic designer, artist and game designer (e.g. Boss Machine and RESHOOT PROXIMA 3) has given a taste of two games that are each being developed in collaboration with the Apollo team in two blog posts on Patreon: Work has already begun on Apollo-X - Red Dwarf Star. The shooter, reminiscent of Xenon II in terms of gameplay style, is said to have much smoother action and better gameplay. In the included two-player mode, players will have the option to take different paths. Other features: Resolution: 640 x 360 Colour Depth: 16bit, kann aber auf 256 Farben reduziert werden 3-4 Parallax layers. (each layer having up to 256 colours but keeping that nice pixelartstyle) Supports for both V4 and V2, With V4 providing extra features like stereo positioned audio, e.g. explosion sound position In addition, work will soon begin on a remake of Mutant Monty (YouTube video of C64 version). As Kevin Saunders writes, he actually started working on the fantasy action game, originally available for 8-bit computers, back in 2001 when he had the idea to port 8bit games to the Amiga. Even though the Apollo team will start the development for the Vampire cards, he is happy to provide assets to interested developers for a conversion to AmigaOS 3. (dr) [News message: 13.
