This is a good thing you are still here around Pagan.
I hope we'll see desktop oriented projects from you in the future...

It's certainly not impossible. For this specific project we're going small though ;)

That's for sure :)

For coders: If you know a little something about SDL it's definitely not a bad thing either by the way

@Trezzer

Man, now that's a wasted chance!

I'm currently jobless because the company I was working at went down... and guess what I was doing?!? I was writing gfx drivers for a mobile device using intent (both VP and C)! - ever heard of MyOrigo's mydevice?

Moreover, right now I'm about to release a small gamey (a port of a game I did for the mophun platform) for AOS4 using _precisely_ SDL (for those who are wondering, the game is starting the betatesting phase... here's a couple of screenshots: 1 and 2).

Now, where's the wasted chance?
I only have an AmigaOne and I *refuse* to buy me an M$ machine!
Oh, well... bad luck

Sorry to sidetrack the thread... but I'm just curious if what you are saying is that MyOrigo is the company you were working at that went down? If that's the case, that would explain why they did not reply to my recent request about their developer program.

Precisely that :(

Definitely.
Anyway, that "developer program" escaped me... are you referring to the SDK?
If you are still interested, I know that there's a new company now, called F-Origin, that acquired all the IP (I guess) and that is trying to sell the single pieces of technology we developed... but maybe a search around the net may provide more and better info.

Bye,
saimo

Hmmm....what kind of gfx are we talking about here in #-of colours, resolutions & sizes. And how big is the project i.e. expected workload/time?

Would be fun to hear som more details about the game...but perhaps it's a secret

New Platform games for the new Amiga. That's great news !!

Are your plans just to "update" old games or is it also to create completly new ones, with new concept, etc...

AOS4 Final Update / AmiZilla 0.1 Alpha

DawnBringer: well, we're looking at 16/24bit probably for the gfx, probably not real time 3d rendered but 2.5d (3d modelled but 2d animated). Reason for that is that we are targetting as many devices as possible so dont want to push the hardware limits too much.

Think of it as pocket elite type game though that's far from the accurate but it will have that "strageic" element but mainly arcade driven style.

Its an small-ish sized project which we're going to build on with updates and plug-ings, but as standard you'll get off-line playing plus the ability to add your progress to an online clan ssystem...but that's a biggie we're gonna keep under wraps for awhile ;)

Jerryuk007: what we have a quite a few projects from the A1200 pre and post PPC era which have decent 8 and 16 bit gfx already done and designeds ready to rock and roll but with the mess AMiga Inc, AI, whatever got into we decided to wait and see what happens. We're not a big games' company so couldn;t afford to take a risk and release games during that period (it would cost too much bucks, time and effort). :)

Trying not be influenced by the fact that I personally hate 3D, I have to say that I think this is one of the worst techniques, as the stuff produced this way invariably looks extremely dull.
I understand it's a matter of tastes, but I think... well, no, I'll cut it here

@Saimo:

I agree that it easily CAN look dull (too clean), but a bit of spit, polish and a lot of dirt really work wonders for the graphical quality.

@ Trezzer

I still have to see a good example - never found _any_ in my whole life.
Anyway, if you're going for that techique, I wish you will prove me wrong

Apart from that, did you read my PM?

Saimo:

Yes I did. I'll get back to you ASAP

Toaks:

Heh, feels like age, but I can assue you we've never totally abandoned them, we chopped and changed teams members so often (mainly becuase the projects were so large and so much went on with Amiga during those times) that we felt it was best to wait. I know Trez and I are still very keen on Dafel, we even disucussed some ideas about it this morning ;)

@ Pagan Games

Good luck with the project. I bought Blobula and that's a nice little PDA game.

Good luck in your hunt. I hope you succeed. Keep us posted will'ya..

/shoe

caradog:yeah thats the game im waiting the most for ..looks great..
