Real-time strategy: Vanilla Conquer with 'Mission Pack' support
Artur Jarosik is known for various game ports like the platformer Hydra Castle Labyrinth or the action adventure Heart of Darkness besides his SDL implementation of the browser NetSurf. As a contribution for the AmiGameJam he started to port the first part of the realtime strategy series Command & Conquer to the Amiga and named it "Vanilla Conquer" (amiga-news.de reported).

Today the developer has added support for mission packs and by that 15 new missions and seven new music tracks. The game is intended for Amigas equipped with Apollo/Vampire V4 or PiStorm/Emu-68 expansions.

Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine V2022.4
The "Scorpion Engine" developed by Erik 'earok' Hogan allows you to develop games. The engine itself is closed source, all demos and example games are open source. The editor runs under Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, levels created by using the editor Tiled eingesetzt. For importing and creating sounds, music and animations the Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used.

A few moments ago he has relesaed version 2022.4 with the following changes:
  • New sample: AlarCity title screen
  • New sample: Vertical Parallax AGA
  • New sample: Render modes and palettes
  • Rendermodes for making actors blink, flash etc
  • "NoClear" option for effects requiring that BOBs aren't cleared after being blitted
  • Vastly improved real time palette manipulation
  • "Parallax locked" movement type for creating objects that are tied to the parallax background
  • Ability to link sounds to levels (so they're loaded and unloaded with those specific levels)
  • Rewrite of the codeblocks virtual machine for improved performance
  • Lots of bug fixes and other minor improvements
You can support the developer on his Patreon website. (dr)

Farming simulation: Farmiga

Various vegetables and cereals have to be grown, sold at the market and cows or chickens bought with the money earned. The last update on 4 June added a new graphic design, an intro and a selection screen for saving and loading, as well as German and English menu navigation. Music is still missing.

The author has tested his game on an Amiga equippd with Kickstart 3.1.4, 512kB Chip RAM and 2MB Fast RAM. (dr)

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.9.10
RedPill, developed by Carlos Peris, is a game construction kit written in Amiblitz 3.9, which allows the development of games from various genres (see short tests of two Redpill games). RedPill is compatible with AGA and ECS, the "player" for playing the finished creations requires a total of 1.5 MB RAM.

The new version 0.9.10 offers besides numerous improvements and fixes now support for AGA fetch modes, which allow the Amiga chips to work in bigger chunks, making graphics operations faster:
  • EXPERIMENTAL: Fetch mode can be set in the Screen menu for AGA games: Normal, Double and Quadruple fetch modes are supported.
  • Increased Fetch modes can improve game speed, specially in machines without fastram.
  • With higher fetch modes, funny effects could happen when using sprites or changing the screen width of the screen.
  • Resize of the map dimensions now can automatic replace the tiles to the new dimensions.
  • Multiple WHDload slaves added:
    • Workbench31_1.Slave 1 MB Chip 1 MB Fast
    • Workbench31_4.Slave 2 MB Chip 4 MB Fast
    • Workbench31_32.Slave 2 MB Chip 32 MB Fast
  • Object drawing has been reimplemented for safer (but also slower) rendering.
  • Embedded Help for trigger conditions is now more complete.
  • If the Sprite layer was attached to an Object Set Sprite Pos detaches it.
  • Set Sprite Pos will ignore parameters with coordinates less than -1000. This way you can set up just x or y coodinate.
  • Action Set NTSC moved to General category.
  • In Level Objects screen you can select snap to tile to move objects only in tile exact coordinates.
  • In Level screen you can import and export maps in CVS format.
  • General optimization.
  • When an object is attached to mouse movement now it takes into account the scrolling area.
  • Fix in camara not reaching end of the level with reduced screen widths.
  • Fix in brush width and height when using the tile shortcuts.

Do it yourself: Amiga 500 Mod PCB project (HDMI, DF0/DF1, low-pass filter)
Jeremy Parker's Amiga 500 Mod PCB project provides, among other things, a Raspberry Pi used as an RGB-to-HDMI converter with an HDMI output on the back of the Amiga 500. A small switch allows access to the menu of the single-board computer.

Two further switches are used to integrate a DF0/DF1 switch or to define the low-pass filter. (snx)

Amigas in films: Amiga 1000 in fourth season of Stranger Things
The streaming provider Netflix currently offers a series called "Stranger Things", in whose sixth episode of the fourth season, which takes place in 1986, an Amiga 1000 is used: It is used to dial into a server and find out a location with the help of an IP address. You can see the Workbench - but the source code shown there seems to be C#, which was only introduced in 2001. (snx) (Translation: dr)
