Linux PPC removes support for CHRP (e.g. Pegasos)
The maintainers of the PowerPC port of the Linux kernel are planning to remove support for CHRP ("Common Hardware Reference Platform") systems. The Pegasos/Pegasos 2 systems from bplan are among those affected. However, this change will have no effect on the PowerPC computers from Eyetech, ACube and A-EON: here the community has always been responsible for kernel adaptations.

Two developers provide a first insight into the status of their projects developed with the Scorpion Engine by publishing videos showing some gameplay:
Last Battle 2 is to be a beat'em up which sees itself as an unofficial successor to the Sega classic "Last Battle", which was also ported to the Amiga.
Galactic Plague is a vertically scrolling shooter that the designer originally wanted to develop with the Shoot'em Up Construction Kit before deciding to use a more modern platform due to its limitations and instability.

Ambermoon: How fingerprinting identified a press leak
On the occasion of the widest possible release of the Ambermoon source code last year, its lead programmer Jurie Horneman also wrote a text about how he managed to identify through fingerprinting a fairly well-known journalist who had passed on the game in 1993 - and forgot to publish this article.
Now he has made up for this at the title link. When he confronted the journalist at the time by a phone call, he would have been very apologetic. His new intern must have leaked it and so on. In any case, Jurie Horneman writes in his final sentence, the game received a good rating.

Puzzle game: Connect available for free
Frank from the LogicalByte team writes: "Hello everyone, it's been over 2 years since we released Connect (amiga-news.de reported). During this time, we have received a lot of praise, which has made us very happy. The gaming community has also sent us suggestions for improvements, which we have implemented as long as they fit into the concept and the game technically allowed it. As expected, the box version sold well and sales of the digital version were also satisfactory. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support!
Nevertheless, it is time to take the next step and we have decided to offer this game for free. With this we would like to offer the other players of this world the opportunity to spend great hours with this game on the Amiga. Remaining copies of the box version are still available at Alinea Computer."

SCALA-MM game conversion: The Angel of Death
After Adventure 2 Remake and Beyond a Steel Sky, 'Quantum Code Monk', formerly 'grindercowboy', has released a third game project for Scala MM, which he has now submitted for the AmiGameJam 2024 instead of Beyond a Steel Sky: The Angel of Death is based on Police Quest: In Pursuit Of The Death Angel, a game published by Sierra in 1987, but with different roles. As Jessie Bains, you try to take control of the drug trade in the town of Lytton.
The game is still in development: sound and music are missing and the graphics are only placeholder graphics. The story is also only 20 to 30% complete. AmigaOS 3.x and the Scala-MM-Player are required.

Turn-based strategy: November-2024-Update for "Settle the World"
Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel writes about his November update: "A new version of my Amiga game "Settle the World" is available.
The "Quality of Life and Pathfinding Update - November 2024" contains mostly bug fixes and a completely revised pathfinding.
n the last few months I've changed my real-life job, otherwise I would have lost my job. This job is very demanding and I can no longer manage to work four or more hours a day on "Settle the World". Development will definitely continue, but at a slower pace than last year. As always, you can download the latest version of the game free of charge from my project page. You can find a more detailed description of the changes in the corresponding developer diary for the update.
I would be very pleased to receive feedback and constructive criticism."
