Whispers of the Woods: New action RPG for the Amiga currently in development
Developer Hoogames2017, known for the Scorpion Engine game "Dr. Dangerous", is currently working on a new game called "Whispers of the Woods".

An Amiga with OCS/ECS and 1 MB RAM is required.

Event: futuRETRO 2025 in Augsburg (Germany, 2./3. August)
This year's futuRETRO will take place on 2 and 3 August at the Technical University of Augsburg and aims to bring together people who are interested in the creative use of historical computers and calculating machines. The Faculty of Computer Science at the Technical University of Augsburg invites you to attend lectures, workshops, exchanges, discussions and to experience historical hardware and software.
Among others, Richard Löwenstein will give a talk on his reshoot Reshoot Proxima 3 at 10:30 a.m. on 2 August: "Five reasons why you should hate retro game development". Stefan Höltgen's talk at 2:30 p.m. is likely to be just as interesting: "Computing in museums? Exhibition concept for Commodore home computers".
Amiga hardware on display will include an Amiga 3000 and 4000, as well as Michael Spindler's Akiko32, his Amiga in mini ITX format (amiga-news.de reported).
