Platform game: Hotfix for tech demo "Space Cavern Blaster" V0.13
In version 0.13 of the cross-system platformer "Space Cavern Blaster" (amiga-news.de reported), which was released a few days ago, the developer made a mistake when implementing a new feature that made it impossible to use moving platforms because the player always slid through them. This bug has been fixed with the present hotfix.

Amiga Future: Subscription campaign ended - More pages starting with issue 163
In April, the print magazine "Amiga Future" advertised for additional subscribers to increase the number of pages of the magazine: With 24 new subscribers to the magazine, the number of pages should have been increased by four, with 48 by eight pages.
However, the target was not met. Nevertheless, the number of pages in the magazine will be increased by four to 56 starting with issue 163 - the difference in costs will be borne by APC&TCP as the publisher.
