Without dynamic changes, any 4 colors + background color (the black background in the videos). _________________ RETREAM - retro dreams for Amiga, Commodore 64 and PC |

| Eventually I used the engine to make a demo. It got released at the Solskogen 2020 demoparty about 1 hour ago. Feel free to watch/download it from https://www.retream.com/THE_CURE (running it on a real Amiga is mandatory to really appreciate it, as a video, due to technical reasons, just doesn't cut it) The demo comes with a README that explains all the details, including why I dropped the idea of a making game and went for a demo, instead. _________________ RETREAM - retro dreams for Amiga, Commodore 64 and PC |

Thank you! Do you mean you were one of those few who had the opportunity of being physically there? If so, I guess that you discovered the demo as it's supposed to (due to its visuals, it isn't video/stream-friendly, so all the others couldn't)._________________ RETREAM - retro dreams for Amiga, Commodore 64 and PC |

I always go to Solskogen demo party but this year no one could go cause of the Corona virus. I watched the stream on Twitch. I also had vote key and for sure gave you best vote.
I have the demo on my A1200 now. Have watched it 3 times there. Works great. Blizzard MKIV 030, CRT. Thanks again :)

That is very cool Saimo. That board rocks :D I have scan plus AGA, scandoubler so I can use VGA monitors. 17" CRT is very nice monitor size for Amiga. I also have original 1081 CRT monitor that is great.

Oh, the similarities continue: I have a ScanPlus AGA, too (bought it because it promised to support all the PAL/NTSC screenmodes, but it doesn't support SHRES, so I'm only half-happy with it) because my ancient C= 1940 died. But it's connected to an LCD, so I can only imagine how the demo looks like on a CRT._________________ RETREAM - retro dreams for Amiga, Commodore 64 and PC |

Very nice stuff. You should put together a portfolio of your videos and send them to some of the big names in pinball such as Stern and Williams. Zen Studios might also be interested as they're pretty much the leader in virtual pinball on Android and Windows. Zen Studios creates a lot of fantasy tables with DMD's and mini-games. The mini-games within the pinball tables are usually played on the DMD. |

Thanks for the suggestion, but I wouldn't have anything to show: eventually I did not produce any game, but a demo instead._________________ RETREAM - retro dreams for Amiga, Commodore 64 and PC |

| I've been asked a few times to release the music separately, and finally I got around to do it! Here it is:
https://soundcloud.com/retream/the-cure
(The quality is higher than in the demo itself due to the limitations of the Amiga hardware - for details, check out the "About the music" post in the Community section of the demo page.)
And sorry for the delay Last edited by saimo on 24-Jul-2020 at 01:14 PM.

| Lately I realized I could make the startup and cleanup code of SkillGrid more robust, so I improved it further. I decided to apply the same improvements to my other productions, and today it was THE CURE's turn...
v1.1 (20210602) * Made startup and cleanup code more robust. * Fixed (unlikely) memory leak in cleanup code. * Replaced "actual" with "current" in standings graphics. * Fixed/improved README.
The new version is available for free download from https://www.retream.com/THE_CURE. _________________ RETREAM - retro dreams for Amiga, Commodore 64 and PC |
