Point'n Click adventure: Ring around the World
"Ring around the World" (video) by Simone Bevilacqua (KOG, Huenison, Blastaway, among others) is described by the author as a "short, open world, point'n'click adventure from the top view". The player wakes up on the shore of an unknown world and can only remember two things - one of the two memories is his drowning in a stormy sea.

Ola 'sodero' Söder's InstallerLG is a reimplementation of the "Installer"! utility included with AmigaOS as of version 2.1.

Hyperion Entertainment released AmigaOS 3.2.2
Press release Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is proud to provide the second free update of AmigaOS 3.2.
This new update demonstrates the developers' continued dedication to ensure that AmigaOS 3.2 is the most capable and most stable operating system ever for 68K based Amigas.
If you do not already own a copy of AmigaOS 3.2, there is now even more reason to get one from your favourite dealer!
The team of developers and testers have worked tirelessly ever since the release of AmigaOS 3.2.1 on fixing bugs and implementing a number of new features.
The highlights of the new features and fixes of AmigaOS 3.2.2 are as follows:
- TextEdit has seen several improvements to its extension interface, and has gained an "About" menu item;
- "Showconfig" now shows 68060 revision;
- "IconEdit" now notifies the user if someone else modifies the icon file that is being edited. And pressing the help key brings up help. The whole color handling of colorful icons has been improved so icons can no longer degrade. Users may end up in a situation wherein it will look worse than on a perfect display, but it will not degrade the icon. As such the dreaded "downgrade" dialog doesn't happen anymore, but in some cases "IconEdit" will open on a separate screen
- "Kickstart" can now boot with earlier Workbench and icon library versions if they are present on the boot volume. This allows for installation of the ROM whilst retaining the ability to boot any AmigaOS version from 3.1 to 3.9, before installation of AmigaOS 3.2 on a volume
- The sketchboard.gadget has seen some speed improvements, that should be noticeable when using IconEdit
- The listbrowser.gadget has had a complete overhaul, making the file much smaller, and a bit faster
- The layout.gadget has had a complete overhaul
- The window.class has had a complete overhaul
- The RAM disk has had a complete overhaul so it is much less likely to cause issues.
- Improved "Locale" support
- Updated version of boards.library
Update 2 for AmigaOS 3.2 is available for download.
Hyperion wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the AmigaOS 3.x development team as well as the beta-testers for their ceaseless efforts.
If YOU want to support our efforts further, please head over to our AmigaOS merchandise store.

Web browser: AmiFox 0.2 released
AmiFox is a kind of web browser for original Amigas. Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow has been reporting about its development since mid-February and after a short beta test phase version 0.2 is now generally available.
The principle of this browser is to outsource the actual rendering via WRP (Web Rendering Proxy), so that the finished rendering is sent back to the Amiga just as an image. In return, however, it is possible to display modern web pages containing CSS and Javascript. Interactions with the web page are then reported back to the server.

Video player: Amos Video Player
The group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP", known among other things for the fantasy shooter Project Quest, which is currently in development, or the mini-game None of Us, updated their "AMOS Video Player", which has been in development since 2020, a few days ago and fixed some bugs
According to the developers, it is "a very simple video player that runs on any Amiga." The playback and encoding target is fixed at 320x256 25 fps, but changeable in the source code (2 colours up to HAM6 is possible, but then much slower). The loading time is not parallel to the playback time due to the non-optimised code, so the result is terrible on real hardware, but looks pretty good under WinUAE. Everybody is invited to play with the source code.
