Preview videos: nameless platformer, Turbo Sprint, 3D shooter 'Exhumed'.
The programmer 'DomKid' has published a first video of another platformer developed with the Scorpion Engine. The release of the Super Sprint clone 'Turbo Sprint' is apparently imminent, a promotional video should whet the appetite for the title.
Besides Shadow Warrior, Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró works on another shooter based on the 'Build' engine from 'Duke Nukem 3D': Exhumed, distributed in the USA as 'PowerSlave'. According to the author, the Amiga version (video) is still in a very early stage and still has various serious bugs.

A2000 motherboard in E-ATX form factor: Amiga-2000-ATX
'Amiga-2000-ATX' is a replica of the A2000 motherboard in revision 6.4, which unlike the original, uses the E-ATX form factor and thus fits into standard PC cases. Another goal during development was to replace components that are no longer available with newer alternatives wherever possible. The developer has commissioned a first prototype, so the design has not yet been finally tested. All documentation needed for production is available on Github under a free license.

FPGA accelerator card: Raptor 1200
In a video interview, Gunnar von Böhn of Apollo team announces a feature-reduced variant of the FPGA accelerator card Vampire. If everything would proceed well, he expects the first cards already next month. The new card, too, would be produced by Igor Majstorovic and be distributed exclusively via the Apollo shop.
The Raptor 1200 card aims at those customers interested in the CPU implementation only, i.e. the 68080 Apollo core, while wanting to keep using the AGA chipset. Thus the new card is just a pure accelerator card with 100 MIPS and 128 MB RAM, but without RTG and HDMI, IDE or SD card support. While thus being cheaper than a Vampire card, the main cost factor, a big FPGA chip, would remain, though.
