A1200, 020 14MHz with fast RAM. What manner of sorcery be this? https://youtu.be/CliGgY8v1fM

Genuinely intrigued as to how this was done. I'm assuming there's a lot of prerendered components in use rather than realtime, but even if that is true, getting them all on screen at 50fps seems like it would be a challenge for the specification. For a demo, maybe. For something interactive? Hmm

It doesn't look like running at 50FPS. Maybe the video wasn't good.

Many things could be pre-rendered, but this game requires fast ram, so it might be that he renders the 3D scene on framebuffer in fast mem.

There are better videos. From what I can tell, the game runs at 50fps. I don't think it's using realtime rendering of any of the 3D tiles, I suspect they are prerendered. If they are realtime, they are seriously impressive. And even if they are not, it's still impressive.

There's no dynamic perspective distortion, the whole scene is just offset when moving left / right / up / down. Most likely it's just pre-rendered bare bricks and icons, composed in fast-RAM with some coloring and lighting overlay which is then copied to a chip-RAM triple buffer for display. Very good stylish port but only fair technical magic to spot here.

50FPS is very difficult to be achieved in these conditions...

It's not perspective, it's more akin to classic tunnel routine. Except it's clearly not that either. I'm still going to go with pre rendered tiles, at each size based on distance and positioned into the fram accordingly. That doesn't detract from the fact that to do this at 50fps on a 14MHz 020 is a technical feat.

For a start the prerendered graphics likely won't fit. If it is rendered in fast ram and copied to chip ram, most of the frame time is already used up. And that's assuming it doesn't need any C2P conversion. So I expect there's something more intelligent being done.

We assume the fast ram requirements are down the graphics, it could just as easily be the soundtrack data too.

"For a start the prerendered graphics likely won't fit."
4MB are the requirements? No, they will easily fit.

"We assume the fast ram requirements are down the graphics"
No, "we" didn't asume that.

"If it is rendered in fast ram and copied to chip ram, most of the frame time is already used up. "
Which is no problem because there's not much more to do here, there's just minimal simple game logic.

Again, a fair but not overwhelming amount of magic.

Yes, that is indeed impressive. Something we can agree on for a change.

I'm using the Royal "we". Thanks to modern identity politics, I can identify how I like and if you don't like it, I have you relentlessly shouted down and cancelled on social media

It’s also not created by you.

The talentless make a habit of denigrating the work of the talented.

Jump is clear wizardry!

Best tunnel sequence since Super Stardust CD32.

I've been playing the original for years on the Atari 800XL:

and I'm really looking forward to this Amiga version being released. Love the demo.

I still don't feel that it runs constantly at 50 FPS. Maybe it's my limit... :-/

@cdimauro

I wouldn't be surprised if it drops a frame here and there but if you watch the video of it being played, it looks pretty smooth.

While I was watching it, I realised one thing thar has been bugging me a bit. Some of the tunnel sections rotate, either due to the ball hitting a particular tile, or on a timer. The rotation definitely makes the tiles seem like true polygons. They could of course be pre rendered still, but the complete combination of every tile type, position, size and interim rotation seems like it would require an unreasonable amount of prerendering.
