Rediscovered: Unfinished Blitz Basic 2 projects
Jake Birkett is the head of indie game developers Grey Alien Games, which has been releasing downloadable games for PC and Mac since 2004. These have included the popular Regency Solitaire, which combines a Jane Austen-style story with various solitaire levels and special powerups that you get by upgrading your ballroom. Or Ancient Enemy, a turn-based battle card game based on solitaire, or from last year T-Minus 30: a 30-minute city builder where you have to save as many people as possible by building rockets before the planet blows up.
And what is this enthusiasm for computer game development based on? Exactly, before this time, Birkett was a passionate Amiga user and programmer.

MorphOS: ENCORE & SCENIC released KHESHKHASH demo
At the end of October, the game and demo developers from Encore (2D shooter Fortis, among others) released their demo Morphever. Before they now devote themselves to game development again and want to tackle some projects that have been put on hold, they have updated one of their older demos: KHESHKHASH was originally released in 2002 with demo group Scenic, which required an Amiga with PPC and 3D accelerator. Since it was difficult to find hardware capable of playing this demo with high resolution and acceptable frame rate, it was decided to recreate it for a wider range of current MorphOS hardware (YouTube video).

68k hardware emulation: PiStorm32-lite with firmware released
Claude Schwarz' PiStorm connects a Raspberry Pi to the CPU socket of an Amiga using an adapter and uses the British single-board computer to emulate a fast m68k processor. The variant for the Amiga 1200 is called "PiStorm32". Yesterday the developer published on GitHub the repository for the PiStorm32-lite variant, which contains all hardware design and manufacturing files including ordering instructions for JLCPCB and the firmware. The lite variant is supposed to take into account the current difficult situation in the procurement of components and in principle be cheaper (amiga-news.de reported).

A-EON Technology: Enhancer Software Core Release 2 / Delay of A1222
According to Trevor Dickinson in his latest blog entry, the production of the A1222 Plus continues to delay due to the "ongoing worldwide lack of integrated circuits and other electronic supply chain issues". As he explained: "One small micro-controller which costs $6.83 each in batches of 100+ is only available for delivery at the end of 2023. Although it can be purchased now from another trade supplier for the extortionate price of ~$420 each." ACube and A-EON are therefore still looking for alternative suppliers.
