Tiny little Slug is released today for the Amiga and can now be ordered in the Online Shop at APC&TCP.
This Classic Amiga game is available either on CD, floppy disks or as a download file.
A basic Amiga 500 is sufficient to enjoy playing it, though more expanded 68k Amiga systems or a CD32 are also supported.
Climb like a snail on walls and ceilings to find the strawberry.
As well as the standard difficulty level there's also a slightly easier playing option.
For true snail veterans you can play in 'Salty' mode.
The game is based on the Metroidvania genre. Find artifacts in four thematically diverse worlds and gain new skills to overcome obstacles.
However, Tiny Little Slug takes a different approach to its opponents, as you can't harm them, so you have to work out how to outwit them.
Three big end bosses are waiting for you. Redirect their own power against them.
Tiny Little Slug even has its own homepage which can be accessed at http://tls.apc-tcp.de.
The game supports storing high scores on floppy disk, on the NVRAM of the CD32, on your hard disk and also online.
Compete with other players worldwide.
Tiny Little Slug was created by André Zeps, XplrA and Thomas Boisse and is released worldwide through APC&TCP.

New version 1.5 of AmiCygnix available |
| software OS4 posted by CygnusEd on 2-Mar-2020 15:15:18 (1706 reads) |
In version 1.5 many problems that were noticed in 1.4 have been eliminated. But new things have also been added.
New in AmiCygnix-Base:
A new window manager has been added that is recommended for use with programs launched from the standalone scripts. The main window is maximized and duplicate frames are avoided.
Seven new display drivers are included, which can bring advantages depending on the existing hardware. Five of these drivers no longer use Picasso96, but the functions of the Graphics Library (from V54).
If a workbench display is iconized, the name of the icon now indicates the program started in it, if it was started with a standalone script.
The X server did not support special keys like "Page Up" or "Home" found on a PC keyboard. Also the NumLock key was not supported. This has now been implemented.
The X server could crash on some systems. This is fixed now.
Fixed some bugs in myX11Setup and myX11SetupLight.
In some programs, the Italian translation has been updated or newly created.
The display drivers xpicasso96clonewbdb and xpicasso96wb were revised for better performance, especially on 32/24bit screens.
Various internal tools and the desktop panel "lxpanel" have been revised. The programs could cause crashes.
The documentation is now available in PDF format. In addition, a separate documentation about the display drivers has been added.
New in AmiCygnix-Tools:
The startup scripts have been redesigned for the new window manager.
The documentation is now also in PDF format.

Major Amiga-native subversion software update available for testing |
| software Classic posted by olsen on 2-Mar-2020 10:02:36 (813 reads) |
If you still use the subversion tool for Amiga native software development you will have run into problems caused by the age of the tool. Accessing source code stored on today's subversion repository servers no longer works so smoothly. Modern certificates and encryption do make a difference.
The first Amiga-native subversion 1.1.4 toolset which supports AmiSSL V4.4 and modern web encryption is now available for testing. Thanks go to Costel Mincea whose work enabled the AmiSSL V4 integration.
Both the source code and ready-made software for AmigaOS 3.x and 4.x can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/amiga-subversion-port/
The source code is, of course, stored in a subversion repository on the same server.

First Amiga Tabor pre-orders start, computers confirmed for summer/fall of 2020 |
| hardware OS4 posted by Petah on 1-Mar-2020 23:17:46 (806 reads) |
On Sunday, March 1st, Amiga retailer AmigaKit approached customers that have recently bought the limited "AAA Bundle" by asking them to declare their interest in pre-ordering the upcoming, PowerPC-based Amiga Tabor. As previously announced by A-EON, the company designing the Tabor, AAA Bundle customers will have first dibs on the initial Tabor production run now known as the Early Adopter Scheme. In its communication to customers, the Tabor is now confirmed to have its launch window set within the third quarter of 2020. Since no deposits were initially asked for, payment requests for €400 - a price tag that includes the computer motherboard, a license of the upcoming Enhancer 2.0 software suite and a one year warranty - are expected at a later date, when additional periperals such as Radeon graphics cards will also be offered. The forthcoming, general availability of the Amiga Tabor remains as of yet undisclosed.

COVID-19 "Corona" virus hampers Chinese economy, may stall Amiga Tabor launch |
| hardware OS4 posted by Petah on 24-Feb-2020 21:04:05 (4803 reads) |
In a lenghty blog update posted by A-EON CEO Trevor Dickinson on Monday, February 24th, it is stated that production of the upcoming Amiga Tabor may get stalled because of the COVID-19 virus. Reported by various news sources, the pathogen has hampered the electronics business throughout southeast Asia. As reported by Dickinson, the low cost PowerPC-based Amiga manufacturing may also be affected by the virus, potentially pushing the production of the early edition pre-orders from this spring to the third quarter. Meanwhile, the 100 customers that have already bought AmigaKit's sold-out "AAA Bundle" are said to get the opportunity to sign up for pre-ordering the Tabor Early Edition sometime next week.
As no firm launch date has been announced yet, it remains to be seen if the Tabor Early Edition customers on the waiting list will have their new Amigas by this summer or at a later date. On a side note, it may be speculated that A-EON's ExecSG software team will use any additional time to further improve on AmigaOS before the Amiga Tabor's Early Adopter Program takes off.
