SOMS (Secret of my Soul) Never released demos now available

After hours of going through thousands of files and Disk-Salv folders i made it to restore
the latest versions of the SOMS(Secret of my soul) demo engine
(from the RPG line back in 2001 before it became 3D) and even a special pre engine.

As a matter of fact i started to collect all files together from this never finished game Project
to release everything i can to the Public. It will take quiet a while as much where lost in
harddrive crashes (filesystem faults).
The engines i could salvage so far:

This was the latest Engine:
http://soms3d.de/DS-Demo-final.zip
It was mostly written in AMOS but supported RTG display and supports even PowerPc instructions
(even its 68k). So simply select a suitable lowres 8 bit screenmode and set the colors to 256.
But at the end it is just a walk around demo.
You can not interact with anything (make sure you read the txt file).

The second demo i found was even older (around the year 1999-2000).
http://soms3d.de/soms_0.6.4.1.zip
It was written in C and already got sound playing in the background but with completley different graphics (everything is rendered with c4d) as you will see.
Still its just a walking around demo version.

The screenshot i attached where a layout shot showing the next step of development.

I remember this from back in the day. Remember exploring the area in the 3D demo. Can't remember if it worked in OS4 or not now.

Well i dont have the sourcecode of the soms3d engine myself. It was always dedicated to the coder. He used parts of it in other projects so far i know so i think it will unlikley be released as openource.

@Toaks: ... but the skills of the coder of the soms3D goes to new games and mayby someday also in 3D stuff.

The next piece of work, coding master is the same like in soms3D:
