Dungeon Crawler: New "Black Dawn" episode, previous games available as download
Three months ago the expansion package for the Dungeon Crawler Black Dawn Rebirth, called "Black Down Rogue", was announced but now is supposed to be a separate game: The engine was completely rewritten and new graphics will be used. On Indie Retro News you can look at some screenshots.
All previously released games of the series, written in AMOS and BlitzBasic in the 90s, as well as the spin offs 'Parasite' and 'Parasite II' now can be downloaded from the website of the developer Timeslip ("pay what you want"). Three weeks ago, the last part of the series called 'Black Dawn Rebirth' already was made available.

Kipper2K replacement keyboard status
In October 2018 we reported about the plans of the US American shop and reseller "Amiga On The Lake" (AOTL) to pre-finance and then distribute the replacement keyboards developed by 'Kipper2K'. The versions for Amiga 500 and 1200 should be available until Christmas 2018.
In a status update now Jeffery Yoder has written that and why they did not succeed in delivering the keyboards until the end of 2020 to all those users who have reserved them in advance. The current plan is to accomplish that by the end of June of this year, 2021.

Turn-based space stategy game: Imperium Terranum 2.811
For a while the source code of the turn-based space strategy game Imperium Terranum 2 is being ported from Pascal to C and adopted to graphic cards. In version 2.811 some minor bugs have been fixed:
- Wormhole-flights are now mouse-controlled - same/easier difficulty than with joystick.
- Playsound is now stereo - direction depends on mouse-position (as used to be in original game).
In this version the intro-sequence may crash when terminated early (via mousebutton).

AmigaOS 4: Updates to The Widow and Slot Machine Saga
At the beginning of February, Juan Carlos 'Templario' Herran Martin did remove all his software from his Morgue Soft Webseite but as he already announced he was going to keep on updating his projects.
Two days ago he released on OS4Depot an update to his point-and-click adventure "The Widow". He has added Polish translation and improved the game a little bit (Paranormal Experience, Slot Machine).
Already at the end of February he had released a new version of his slot machine WArMUP based on Hollywood:
Version 1.20 does not require any external Hollywood plugins and offers some minor improvements like animated coins or additional sounds.
According to the author on request by amiga-news.de, he currently is working on his picture viewer Videntium Picta.
