    Prototype: New 2-Stick controller for Amiga or C64 introduced 
"Abstraction Games" has developed a new joypad for C64 and Amiga which has four fire buttons but also two sticks - working on the joystick port without having to change something on the computer. In the past dual-stick-controllers often were used in slot machines but so far has been not available for  Commodore home computers.
  
Two games have been also introduced which the developers have adapted to the new joysticks: Chaos Engine and Commando (C64). Probably the games will be commercially distributed, maybe as Kickstarter campaign.

    Book announcement:'From Vultures to Vampires' splitted into two parts 
Last summer the second book of the former Commodore-UK manager David Pleasance, written together with Trevor Dickinson (A-EON), was successfully financed by a Kickstarter campaign. According to Pleasance in two updates (1, 2), they "seriously underestimated the amount of enthralling material our research has uncovered, added to which as Trevor and I reached out to many of the people who feature in these stories, to our surprise (and sheer delight) many have responded and added even more intriguing content than we could have ever wished for."

    Modplayer: AmiModRadio 0.99991 
AmiModRadio is "a program to automatically download, extract, and play modules from Aminet." Other websites like Haxor.fi, Modland and Modules.pl are supported as well. A rating function is also included. In the latest version a console bug was fixed. Besides: "Fixed/improved the code dealing with the players and updated the HTTP User-agent to make all HTTP sources work." If you want to report bugs then please use the official bugtracker. Any ideas for improving the program are welcome!
  
As the author Tygre told ue, his homepage is completely maintained using an Amiga 1200 being in his office at work. Due to COVID currently he cannot easily reset the Amiga if it has freezed so it may happen that the website is temporarily not available for quite some time.
