The Amiga Corner Is Closing – Grab the Archive |
| News posted by Hans on 18-Nov-2025 10:55:03 (344 reads) |
The Kea Campus is closing, but before it's gone, here's your chance to get an archive of the whole campus, including exclusive content such as my "Saving AmigaOS" series. This is a gift for all of you who love AmigaOS and my work, but hate subscriptions. You can now get it all for a one time fee. Yours forever.
Click here to get the archive.
Why?
you're probably wondering why is the campus closing, and what's this "Saving AmigaOS" series?
Short answer: creating content, example code and templates for the campus is a lot of work. The campus membership has remained small. And I'm starting a new venture with my wife. There's no way that I could do both the new venture and keep the campus running. I need to focus. Trying to do both would be a recipe for delivering mediocrity on all sides, which I refuse to do. So, I'm shutting down the campus to make way for the new.
The "Saving AmigaOS" series records my thoughts on how we could turn around the troubled AmigaOS 4 project, despite a lack of resources. In the series I go through everything from the business and psychological side through to the tech side. This series is of interest to everyone who loves AmigaOS.
What Else
Of course, there's plenty more in the campus. A year and 4 months of work has gone into it. Multiple series on both Amiga and cross-platform software development. Downloadable template code and examples. The full list of what's inside is available here.
It's all in the archive, which you can get by clicking the link below.

Go get it now, you know you want to...

OnyxSoft release another update of Annotate
Annotate v3.1.1 - (OS3,OS4,MOS,AROS) A programmer's text editor with a lot of functions such as syntax highlighting.
- Fixed the crash bug in the AmigaOS 3 68k version. The bug depended on the font size, which is why I never noticed it when developing this code. Retesting with a different font-size immediately gave me the crash as well. Now fixed.
- Version string was wrong in the auto-update system, so it never detected new versions automatically. Now you should also see auto-updates, but maybe some strange $VKR: text 
- Simpler error message when the syntax definition cannot find the autodocs it tries to load. It came to my attention that reading autodocs automatically, assuming they always exists, might be the wrong approach. I simplified the error message, giving a direct link to the config page where autodocs can be switched off, if you're not a developer.

The Settlers II: More Collector's Edition boxes available |
| software Classic posted by AmigaPapst on 10-Nov-2025 12:49:15 (256 reads) |
Düsseldorf, 8 November 2025
Numerous requests from the community have led Look Behind You to increase the limited Collector's Edition of The Settlers II Gold Edition for the Amiga: instead of the originally planned 100 copies, 250 wooden boxes will now be produced.
Shortly after the announcement in August, the Look Behind You team received countless emails, messages and personal conversations at trade fairs in which fans expressed their disappointment at the small number of copies. Look Behind You is thus responding to the requests of many collectors and increasing the number of copies to give more fans the chance to purchase this special edition.
The deluxe version, priced at £99.90, will be available from 1 December 2025 and includes the game on DVD plus a download option, a colour world atlas, manuals in English and German, four exclusive collectible postcards in retro design, and a high-quality metal magnet (8x5cm) with the iconic castle motif from the first part of The Settlers – all packaged in an authentic wooden box in The Settlers II design.
Orders for the Collector's Edition will be unlocked on Friday, 14 November 2025, from 6 p.m. on the Look Behind You website.
The Standard Box Edition (£49.90) and the Digital Edition (£29.90) have been available since 18 October 2025.

Boxed and Digital-Version of Phantom Leap – New Platformer Adventure from HooGam |
| News posted by AndreasM on 8-Nov-2025 13:06:25 (242 reads) |
HooGames2017 is pleased to announce the physical boxed version (and Download-Version) of Phantom Leap! The new platformer adventure for the Amiga combines classic platforming action with fast reflexes, precise jumps, and the unique Phantom Leap, which catapults players to higher platforms or over chasms in a flash.
In Phantom Leap, the player takes control of Kamin, a brave hero who battles his way through colorful interludes filled with platforms, trampolines, ladders, crates, and friendly enemies. The goal is to overcome obstacles, skillfully evade enemies, or take them down with a dive, thus mastering level after level.
Along the way, Kamin collects golden coins, puzzle pieces, and golden apples that secure progress and unlock bonus content. A clear HUD displays life, energy, collected coins, enemy kills, and points at all times – ideal for high score hunters and fans of classic Amiga action.
The physical edition of Phantom Leap comes as a collector's box with a retro-style printed manual and other lovely extras that perfectly round out the gaming experience.
