Thanks for the hint regarding mail address.

Hm, hopefully ACube will still continue to support the Amiga though.

But another question: Will porting be the "only" (long term) goal of your attempt? Since I'm an of Amiga-only games I would really love to see another new good quality piece of Amiga Game software of a bigger team! (Well I completely understand that porting some pieces of SW will bring the Amiga a little bit more back to the rest of SW-world.)

A very good idea!

Check out the last page of Amiga Future for an interesting teaser

A "BLITZ" in the Amiga software land? We hope so.

The Team have contacted our "close relatives" of the BlitzBasic, Blitmax, and Blitz3D.

They gave us nice and important informations on how to port compatible blitz interpreters to Amiga:

"Hi,

There are open-source versions of Blitz3D available which run on different platforms. MiniB3D is for BlitzMax, and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. iMiniB3D is C++ based and runs on iOS. There is also OpenB3D which is like iMiniB3D but without the bindings to iOS, which would probably be your best bet for porting to the Amiga."

The developer of OpenB3D has been already contacted, a very kind person that will help us to explore the OpenB3D implementations.

Thank you to Blitz guys for the precious help.

Porting PersonalPaint to OS4 Native is very good. In fact the 68K Version runs nicely on OS4 except that Chip-Ram-Limitation. I hope they remove this dependies and take the Power of full RTG-Support for Blitting..etc

Brilliant! A great idea. Really positive thing to do.

With regards to the Head Over Heels remake, I encountered a couple of "loop of death" bugs when I last played it. (Enemies not resetting to their starting positions after losing a life, so you respawn on top of an enemy over and over until you run out of lives.)

That would be something to think about fixing if it gets ported!

"Our mini-engine let us using the
same sources for all supported platforms. Versions for AmigaOS4 are possible." "Support for AmigaOS4 is in our plans."

"I would like to encourage all Amiga-developers to creating original games,
designed by Amigans, on Amiga computers, for Amigans. We have a lot of
ports of opensource games. Most of these games are very good. However I
remember time when Amiga had a lot of exclusive games which weren't
available on another platforms. I miss to the time. :)
Currently we have great ami-systems, machines, software development
environment, the Internet (helping, documentations). Our heads are full of
great ideas. We should realize the ideas and making new original games. Now
is time for indie-games. I would like to see new original indie-games on
AmigaOS4/MorphOS/AROS too. Amiga community have great programmers.
Unfortunately we have problem with artists (graphics 2D, graphics 3D,
music) because 99% of these moved to another platforms. I understand the
decision (our tools for creating gfx/msx are obsolete). However sometimes
is good solution. For example look at Minecraft. :) Great idea, simple
design and VERY BIG success.

I greet all Amigers and I am glad that the Amiga is alive and growing."

I would like to see Fortis ported on AmigaOS4. Wish luck to the porting team. It is a great idea, because finally people are working in teams.

Do you plan to have a dedicated website?
Is the one who do the port also the maintener?
I would love to see Dpaint, Brillance and lightwave.
How about the PPC version of SAS/C...

Keep it up
Thanks

I forgot purebasic who strates on Amiga.
Since a Mac PPC version exist and an Amiga 68k one it should be doable and the author is quite a nice guy.

@kamelit0

The Amiga 68k version is pure assembler so it would need a complete rewrite to make it native. PPC versions are not known to me (only X86)

@thread

Most Indy-Developers use 3D-engines today (partly commercial, partly opensource). If we want to get support we must offer a easy (and that means cheap) route to support our platforms and that means we must get as many 3D-Engines as possible. I have no clue how complicated it will be to port the 3D-Engines but it would be the best way to get more games.
