Arcade adventure: First demo version of "The Gate"
About two years ago, we presented Fabio 'Allanon' Falcucci's game "The Gate", written entirely in AMOS Professional, a mixture of "Impossible Mission" and "Project Firestart" with his own ideas and concepts (video). Now he has released a first demo version, which should offer about 1.5 hours of gaming fun.
In "The Gate", you take on the role of private detective Kal, who must solve the disappearance of a scientist at a research facility. The author tested the game under AmigaOS 3.1 and 2 MB of Fast RAM.

AmigaOS 4: ShaderNova 1.1 for post-processing effects
ShaderNova uses the Warp3D Nova library (version 54.16) for AmigaOS 4 to mirror content from other windows and render it using fragment shaders. The source window must not be obscured, though. If running on its own screen, ShaderNova can also be used in full-screen mode. Normal keyboard and mouse events are passed through to the original window.

MorphOS: Beta version 6 of the SDK-Explorer
Yannick 'Papiosaur' Buchy's SDK-Explorer is used to display the documentation included in the MorphOS developer package. However, the beta version 6 now available does not yet have the ability to display also the source code from the SDK (or third-party documents). Minor issues still to be resolved include the search function's case sensitivity and the consistent display of document titles in bold.

AI image generator: AmiDream 0.3
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiDream uses the Stable Diffusion language model to generate images from text descriptions. The program is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS (x86, x64, ARM) and MorphOS.
The update fixes bugs and introduces a randomly generated image every day, including a list of random images from previous days, as this seems to be the most used feature according to the author and can therefore be loaded faster for everyone now.

AmigaOS 4: modular multi-plattform emulator "RetroArch"
Steffen Häuser writes: After a long development period, the modular emulator system RetroArch for AmigaOS 4 was released today on os4depot. Unlike single emulators, RetroArch has the advantage that it is easier to implement/port a 'core' and that you don't have to implement things like video refresh, sound and gamepad support from scratch every time, because the main executable already does that – and is highly optimised. And the end user gets a common GUI for all emulations.
A large number of cores are already available.
Versions for WarpOS, MorphOS and 68k (and possibly AROS x86 in the future; the AROS version's GUI is already running, but the cores are not yet) are still in development (donors via PayPal to tirionareonwe@gmail.com can already receive the beta for WOS/MOS/68k). MorphOS and WarpOS versions will probably be the next to be released, but it is not yet known exactly how long this will take.
