George Sokianos' Hollywood program auraFly for AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS/x86 allows you to mix different nature sounds to relax or work more focused (amiga-news.de reported). You can now save your selected sounds and volumes as presets, and five of these mixes are already included.
In addition, the window size has been significantly reduced to take up less space on the screen. However, the program can also be iconified without interrupting playback. (snx)

Spillhistorie: Interview with Fredrik Liljegren zu Pinball Dreams (englisch)
The Norwegian games magazine Spillhistorie has published an interesting interview with Fredrik Liljegren, in which the co-founder of Digital Illusions (later DICE) talks in detail about the development of the Amiga classic Pinball Dreams. Liljegren takes a close look at the game's beginnings, from its origins in the demo scene to the technical concept and the selection of a publisher.
He describes how the team was able to faithfully simulate real pinball tables using an unusual design—vertically scrolling playing fields across multiple screens. The result: realistic ball physics, impressive graphics and sound design, and unexpected success with over 650,000 units sold in the first year. The game was developed entirely in the developers' spare time, which explains the long development time of over four years. He also talks about early strategies against piracy, such as special crack detectors that introduced variable ball physics or score influences for copied versions.
The interview does not only offer historical insights, but also personal memories and a behind-the-scenes perspective. (nba)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.11 (68k)
Version 3.11 of the web browser NetSurf has been released for AmigaOS 4 at the end of 2023. Now the program has also been updated for AmigaOS/68k.
In addition to the general changes of the 3.11 version, also AmiSSL has been updated (version 5.20 is required), the CPU load management has been improved and a crash on exit under AmigaOS 3.2 has been fixed. In addition, a simple JavaScript engine can be used, but more for testing purposes, as it slows everything down without providing any major benefit.

Seligenstadt Pinball and Arcade Museum: Fundraising campaign for reopening
The Flipper and Arcade Museum in Seligenstadt is calling for support: Due to roof damage and the associated risk of collapse, the museum has had to close temporarily. While the exhibits have been moved to an external warehouse, the non-profit association For Amusement Only e.V. is in urgent need of funds.
That is why the "Museumsretter 2025" ("Saver of the Museum") campaign has been launched. You can support the museum by:
- Purchase of the limited edition "Museumsretter 2025 - Insert Coin to Continue" T-shirt (price: ¤22, available in various colors)
- Direct donations via PayPal or bank transfer
- Supporting membership in the association
Supporters will receive a donation receipt upon request. The association hopes that with this assistance, repairs can be completed within a few months and the museum can reopen to visitors. Further information about the campaign and merchandise is available online via the title link. (nba)
