`04.Apr.2020` Amiga-Blogs (Webseite)	Music game for two mice: AmiSaber AmiSaber (video) is a clone of the virtual reality game Beat Saber - a rhythm game taking place "in a surrealistic neon noir environment and featuring the player slicing blocks representing musical beats with a pair of contrasting colored sabers." The Amiga port is controlled with two mices and includes all necessary information and tools for creating levels with individual music. The game is supposed to run on an Amiga 500 with harddrive but the author recommends a better setup which is not specified. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 04.

`03.Apr.2020` Amiga-Blogs (Webseite)	Game previews: Project Horizon and DaemonClaw "Project Horizon" is a "a top-view tactical action game that obviously takes place on the dark side of the moon." A preview video published in January provides a first impression of the level of development. Project Horizon will require 2 MB Chip-RAM and a harddrive. The game will be available for free including all sources and level editors. "DaemonClaw: Origins of Nnar" is supposed to become "a new side scrolling action game." The development was started on the Amiga but currently it is developed on modern platforms using the construction kit "Construct 2". The completed game then will be back ported to the Amiga. The developers of BitBeamCannon regularly publish updates and preview videos on their Youtube channel. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.

Fixed installer issue for MorphOS (#43). Modernized and improved the https example source code. Minor improvements/fixes. (dr) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.
