`22.Jan.2021` amiga ireland 2021 online youtube channel (ANF)	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. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 22.

`22.Jan.2021` Amiga Documents (Twitter)	Lawsuit: Hyperion und Cloanto allegedly close to a settlement again A year ago, Hyperion and Cloanto asked the judge presiding their lawsuit to extend a deadline because they were allegedly close to finalizing a settlement. A few days later, the negotiations were aborted. In another motion dated January 20th, both Parties address the judge again, asking for another extension. They announce that settlement discussions had been resumed in October 2020 and that "on Thursday of last week, the Parties reached the terms of settlement on the main agreement". The motion goes on to explain that "the only tasks that need to be completed are for the Parties to attend to seven ancillary documents, including an assignment and novation agreement, mutual releases, stipulations of dismissal, and documents related to a proceeding in Belgium."

`21.Jan.2021`	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." And he continued: "In order for us to deliver that, we have no option but to split the book into Volume 1 and Volume 2." Volume 1 is supposed to be published in the second quarter of 2021. All those who participated in the Kickstarter campaign last year, will get volume 2 for 50% off (the printed edition for 17,50 Pound Sterling, about 20 Euro plus shipping, the pdf edition for 8,50 Euro). If you wish to take advantage of this offer all you need to do is to send an email to David Pleasance. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 21.
