Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.4.4 (alpha)
RedPill is a Game Construction Kit written in AmiBlitz2, which is supposed to help developing games of diverse genres - released videos show ports of Pacman and Pang. RedPill is compatible to AGA and ECS, the "player" for running the finished games requires 1 MB Chip as well as some Fast-RAM.

On Internet so far there only is a closed Facebook group, but you can contact the authors via eMail. The latest alpha version can be downloaded via Google Drive.

Now the RedPill editor tries not to use a FPU. More changes of version 0.4.4:
  • Tiles can have 3 shapes: Normal, Ramp Up and Ramp Down. Define them in the Tiles screen.
  • Audio: Amiga Mods can be played. Define them in the audio menu and use Play Mod trigger to play them. They are loaded at play moment, it is better to play them once at the start of the level.
  • Audio: Amiga IFF sounds can be played. Define them in the audio menu and use Play Sound trigger to play them.
  • Sprite color Remap now gives an error message when failing.
  • Sprite generation from sprite sheets is more robust.
  • Physics and platform code has been redone (again) to support the new tile shapes.
  • GameObjects process has been slightly optimized.
  • When editting values the previous value is not lost anymore.
  • When editing levels now you can use F to flood fill the current tile.

About 67.000 Euro has to be collected cia Kickstarter to start the production. One set of keycaps consist of all necessary keys Tasten (some of them in different sizes to be compatible with as many as possible Amiga computers), new springs as well as plastic clips for sticking some of the bigger keys like SPACE or ENTER. The sets will be available with German, British and American layout. Additionally a lot of different colours will be offered, some of them as limited editions.

A single set will cost 49 Euro in the Kickstarter campaign, but there also will be diverse special editions for a higher sum of money. Please note, that all Dollar prices - unless otherwise specified - on the project website are not in US but in Singapore-Dollar ("SGD"). At the beginning of the project website, the maintainers give information how to convert the prices into USD or Euro (cg) (Translation: dr)

In summer last year, the development of the game "Tower 57" was crowdfunded. As an additional goal also it was given so much money to develop an Amiga version, which Daniel Müßener does. Under the title link some first screenshots show the current level of development. (snx) (Translation: dr)
