Yes, there's not too much being released right now, and things like Tabor are taking longer than anticipated.
So, what are you going to do to liven up this community? One great thing about a community like this is that anyone can join in and start creating interesting/fun stuff. The more of us who actually do this, the better.
When it comes to things like GLES2/Warp3D Nova, they're only interesting if others write apps/games that take advantage of them. Plus, more developers using them results in faster improvements (e.g., kas1e working on GL4ES has resulted in bug-fixes & other improvements). I know there's more 3D stuff in the pipeline, but it would be great if more developers started using the new capabilities.
@all Consider this thread a call for you to step up and start creating.

I think it's been very lively on MorphOS lately after the 3.10 release. MorphZone forums have been more active than a long time with real discussion instead of some speculation, new software releases coming nicely, including "state of the art" email client betas, image processing program, Hollywood apps, etc. MorphOS Storage also gets new software releases regularly, I think it's been fun time lately and I don't have time to test everything I'd want._________________ - The wiki based MorphOS Library - Your starting point for MorphOS - Software made by jPV^RNO |

i could actually share my image of a vmware linux cross compile development environment, if only it didnt grow too big and a bit too old by now. however it wouldnt be a problem to prepare a ready to go fresh smaller one everybody could grow at will with gparted.
all it needs is time. |
It should be a worthwhile project. If you included some notes on how to compile an executables and how to fetch the latest sources to stay current, that should provide everything needed for interested developers to start getting involved. |

| I have to say on the software front for Amiga it is a bit slow, we do seem to be getting the odd great game (tower52/Spencer) but I really would like to see/hear updates on the LibreOffice port that purposely got to beta nearly a year ago, odd that it would make it to that stage and no word on update since, plus a browser update, I know there the bug, but it would be nice if some kind of solution could be found, as its a shame that a solution to a lot of the lack of apps/software could be solved with up to date browser with online apps (but they are starting to become less reliable on the old webkit running on odyssey).
I'm nearly given up on AmigaOS4.2 news. I guess we wont hear anything until after the court case and even then I just feel Hyperion haven't got the resources to develop it any more.
however else where on the Amiga scene I feel things are picking up not slowing down, just looking in the news of my last issue of Amiga Future and we got A4000+, AmyITX, Morphos 3.10 (support for x5000), checkmaste 1500+ case, A1200 cases in shops, A500 case kickstarter, OS3.1 update, WinUAE 4.0, various Amiga Book kickstarters, vampier v4 update, new linux kernals for AmigaONE system etc
So I feel for 2018 were not doing to bad

Look back from 2018-2010. The last few years was so less developing, it is a bad joke. Enhancer developing is really good and fast. Hope that A-Eon get the rights for Os developing _________________ Amiga600/Vampire2/PrismaMegaMix |

probably the best choice. ive just dig up one of my a1200 in a vanilla state and set it up for my brother to play with. hooked it up to an lcd tv and almost all floppies that i had not touched in twenty years simply worked. |

I actually like Windows 10. Well, there are a few things that annoy me still but they are things like windows always coming to the front when you click on them whether you want them to or not, and I've gotten to the stage where I've given up swearing at such features. As much as possible if I need to do something I turn to Linux first and try to utilise a Raspberry Pi for the task. My Amiga dev environment largely consists of running Git on a Pi and accessing the data over Samba/smbfs and building natively (my cross-compile environment is in a Linux VM, I thought about trying to move that to a Pi too but I don't have the time and cba to fix the resulting fallout). I'm using the Amiga (OS4) less and less. In fact I can count the things I use it for on the fingers of one hand: 1. A collection of website-related spreadsheets I'm not keen on rewriting the macros of 2. An upload script which makes uploading changed website files as simple as a double-click (rsync could do this better - I already use it to do a backup in the other direction - but again it involves time and inclination to change my process) 3. A mailing list which goes into a nicely threading mailer, which I usually read unthreaded on my phone anyway 4. TuneNet which should be easy to find an alternative for. 5. Dev stuff which more often than not I cross compile, so the Amiga involvement is testing, and if I'm not using the Amiga I have less reason to write software for it, so...
It's literally just some time and point 1 that is stopping me from disconnecting it.

if chris young is close to walking away from the amiga, i hope that's a wake-up call for people running this show. you're talking about a significant developer of amiga software here. many of us are close to dropping the whole thing over the lack of movement and progress. the only thing that seems to be progressing is enhancer. that's it.

This is exactly what many (a lot in fact) are thinking (in France, everything related to AmigaOS 4.1 has slowed donc a lot anb forums are more than quiet).
Why ? Because everything is done in shadows. NDA prevent everyone from talking. Talking about what ? Who knows ? Maybe nothing...
A-Eon and Hyperion won't talk about anything either. This lack of information regarding development just conforts people that want to leave and play with something else.
And when something comes, it will be too late since there won't be anyone left to try and use it (or so few...).
We thought that ESP could give som breath but there hasn't been any update and the fothcoming one is far from being there (Polaris support will come when no more new cards will be sold).
So what now ? Who could light the fire again ?

simple. take the subject of your attraction for what it is, not what it could be. genuine amiga scene works like this. you can always have some improvement, but people are picky. what it constitutes of is cool enough as such. the expectations are hard to transgress for any ng spin off of amiga sytem, as it brings as much handicaps as improvements. |
