VLRec NG 3.2 is available Felix Schwarz writes: Only one month after the release of VLRec NG, there is a little big update available with VLRec NG 3.2. For the first time, you are able to simply record movies with the VLab, saving them as MPEG or IFF Anims in full color. NTSC is now correctly supported, too. Addittionally, many suggestions have been regarded and the "workflow" been improved. Download now from www.innovative-web.de (tilte link), and of course tomorrow or the day after tomorrow from Aminet. (ps) [News message: 09.

Press release by Epic Marketing Pagan Games and Epic Marketing announce their cooperation: From: ThomasSteiding epic@swol.de To: Petra Struck petra.struck@online-club.de Date: Mon, 09 08:00:00 10:10:38 +0100 Subject: Preseerklärung Press Release Pagan Games and Epic Marketing are happy to announce a long term cooperation. This cooperation means that Epic Marketing will publish all Pagan Games developed in the next couple of years. Says Vince Pike of Epic: "This will be a strong cooperation where both partners can concentrate on what they are doing best: Pagan Games can concentrate on delivering top quality games and Epic on the Marketing aspect. We look at this as a very strong partnership which will deliver high quality products to the Amiga community." Jason Hayman of Pagan Games, one of the co-founders of the Pagan Group adds: "Our relationship with Epic allows us a stable and supported base for future development of all Pagan Gamesin the next 3 years. We see this as a long term deal with Epic with a very promising future for us both. We are the largest development group on the Amiga with over 20 members working on 3 projects - and we are still hiring more!" The first product to be released will be the Amiga title "Dafel:Bloodline", an action based RPG game. "Dafel:Bloodline" has an isometric 3D POV, similar to the "Chaos Engine" series and comes with a sound system called Full Sensual Gaming (FSG) which will be responsible for the best possible atmosphere ever in a computer RPG game. The features of "Dafel:Bloodline" are: * Extremely fast chunky to planar (c2p) graphics engine. RTG compatible. The game offers two resolutions to play in, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480. Both offer 256 colours on screen, with the 640 x 480 requiring a graphics card and a faster processor to run. The AGA version runs at 25 fps. Both screen resolutions are RTG compatible working on CyberGFX and Picasso96 systems. * FSG Audio System (Full Sensual Gaming) & CD Music/Effects. "Dafel:Bloodline" uses our own stereo sound handling system in the game. Using either Paula (or possibly AHI) we split the available channels in half assigning one pair to what we call Sound Objects (SO) and the other pair to Environment sound Objects (ESO). SO`s are used to create objects that can be tracked by sound alone. using advanced algorithms, the volume level of the sound is calculated in real timeso the closer you are, the louder the SO will be heard and the further away you are, the quieter the SO will be heard. In relation to the SO, the ESO`s are used to add atmosphere and ambedience to a level. In conjunction to background sound effects being played off the CD, ESO`s are used to add an extra dimensionto the audio set by trigger points on the game map. * Game Engine in "Dafel:Bloodline" we have mixed two gaming elemnts together, action and adventure into one single engine. The action elemnts consist of Dafel attacking level enemies and end of level monsters. There are three ways Dafel can attack using his sword. The first basic way is called a "low swing", which inflects little damage, but allows a consistent flow of attacks. The second attack is a "medium swing", which allows more damage on the enemy but takes longer. The final attack is a "Full Swing", where Dafel slashes down from his head and inflicts the most damage, but also needs the most time to execute. The adventure and strategic elements arise from the solving of puzzles , the communication with other characters and the being of Dafel himself. Throughout the game there will be subplots that are relevant to the core plot. Dafel must find and complete these to progress through the core plot. The game has been designed in a non-linear fashionallowing the player to revisit areas and solve puzzles in any order. There are however key plot stages that need to be completed before advancing to another sub-plot. These key stages are always followed by a cut-scene to develop the plot further. Dafel must also live in the world and to do so he must maintain his armour and sword and also feed and drink himself. Strategic elements arise in this management role of looking after his equipment and hunting for food. Dafel can also visit blacksmiths or shops to maintain or improve his armour and sword. * Enemy Artifical Intelligence Enemies that roam Dafel`s world can behave in 3 different ways. We have "roamers" who aimlessly wander through the maps attacking at pure will. We have "ambushers" who can lay in wait then attack and then we have "group-attackers" who only fight in groups. These 3 classes are subdivided into various attributes such as sight, hearing, smell and intelligence. An enemy with low sight will rely on smelling and hearing his enemy. * Manga Style FMV and Cut Scenes Bloodline begins with a 5 minute FMV sequence based upon the prologue. The game also end with a FMV sequence. The finished product can be expected at around the time of the Cologne exhibition. A playable demo will be released in a couple of weeks. Preorders can already be placed with Epic Marketing UK (Tel:01793/432176, E-Mail:epicmarketing@dialin.net) or Epic Marketing Germany (Tel:07071/ 400492, E-Mail:info@epic-marketing.de) for a special preorder price. "Dafel:Bloodline" will probably remain the only product that will still support the Classic 68k based Amiga. The next project "Scavengers", an action based but still strategic game in complete 3D which will combine the best of Wing Commander and Command&Conquer into a new game, is scheduled for release on Amiga MCC and might also be developed for Amiga PPC and 3D graphic boards if there is enough demand for it.

08.Aug.1999 Heise [Newsticker] |
Heise: Hackermeeting hacked? From the Heise article about the Chaos Communication Camp by the CCC: The ports of the camp systems connected to the network have been scanned far and wide since Friday evening, to find the weak spot in the "enemy" system. The organisers had warned all "green" users to do Telnet sessions with encryption only, to make life not too easy for the password sniffers. But about 6:30 PM, the catastrophy happened: the systems suddenly denied any exchange of data with each other or internet. The Network Operation Center (NOC) at the campsite surrendered and issued a "Red Alert". Even in the early morning of Saturday, the NOC was still offline.
