Adventure: 'Ermentrud' will be released (programmer wanted)
Timo Kloss wrote: The point'n' click adventure "Ermentrud" originally was developed between the years 2001 and 2004 for Amigas equipped with a graphic card, but then abandoned. It was placed in a medieval world and offered an absurd plot and absurd humor. And the hero had a horse made of paper maché.
This year the game will be finally released. All the original graphics, sounds and music will be included but the plot will be reworked.
So far only a German version is planned. If there will be additional localisations is still not clear. The game will offer gaming fun of at least one hour and will be available for free.
The current level of development
- All old scripts have been repaired and extended and the game can be played through. A rework of the dialogues and texts is planned.
- A completely new engine based on SDL2 was developed which is 100% compatible to the old one. The development has been finished and the game runs on macOS and Windows.
- Besides, the game still always runs on the old Amiga engine.
Amiga programmer wanted
Unfortunately the old engine does not run that stable and has graphic problems in emulators and on OS 4 (probably on MorphOS as well). I would like to release the game for Amiga systems as well therefore I am looking for a programmer who can help fixing the problems. It is C-Code but not that clear. Alternatively the mpdern SDL2-based engine can be also used. Please contact me if you are interested!

- Image Cache Handling war falsch (Memory Leaks)
- Speicherstrukturen für "freie" Schiffe ohne Planetenbezug (z.B. Maques oder Ceborcs) wurden nie freigegeben (auch im Original nicht)
- Speicher für Medplayer-Module wird nun von der API der medplayer.lib wieder freigegeben

amiga-news.de: Translators wanted
Had amiga-news.de's news-items been published in a couple of languages in the past (besides German and English also in Danish, Flemish, French, Japanese, Polish, Spanish and Turkish), eventually just the english version proceeded. In July 2000, our editor Daniel Reimann joined our team of translators, remaining as its sole member for twelve years already.
For Daniel's relief as well as for enabling him to write more original articles himself, we are looking for additional translators of our German news-items into English language. In case you could imagine to join our honorary, independent news-site, please let us know by writing to our e-mail address team@amiga-news.de. (snx)

Text editor: Amiga Source Editor 1.25
By releasing version 1.2 (2019), about two months ago Alain Fontanin has resumed the development of his "Amiga Source Editor" (ASE) which originally started in 1989.
By the support and the feedback of our readers, the author now has released version 1.25. Changes in detail:
- Significant improvement in overall performance
- Significant improvement in the processing speed of a document containing lines of more than 4,096 characters (even on a 68000!)
- Integration of the German localization
- Integration of cursor movement management, 2 modes available:
- Free mode: the cursor can move anywhere in the document and tabs are treated as a series of spaces
- Non-free mode: the cursor follows the text and manages the tabs
- Possibility to customize the size (4 or 8) and the saving of tabs
- Processing of the 'DEL' key (oops on Mac it is not present as a physical key!)
- Ability to set a default location for documents
- An ASE2019 installation script
- The documentation is divided into two parts: French and English
- New examples of ARexx scripts for ASE2019
- Use of the screen font, instead of 'topaz-8' for the menus
- Fixed some shortcuts to stick with the Amiga standard
Do not hesitate to contact the author if you encounter a bug or if you have an idea of evolution.

US trademark: "Amiga" now registered by Amiga Corporation
Last autumn, Hyperion had withdrawn its opposition against Cloanto's registration of the US trademark 'Amiga'. According to current paperwork from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) the mark is now properly registered.
The document still lists Cloanto Corporation as the owner of the mark. We are told by Mike Battilana (Cloanto, Amiga Corporation) that this is caused by the USPTO's slowness when adding results from the assignment queue to the public database. He points out that the the mark has already been assigned to Amiga Corporation back in January and that he expects the USPTO database to get updated accordingly in the next few days.
Note from staff: Since the USPTO is already pointing out a "likelihood of confusion" of the US marks Hyperion applied for (AmigaOne, AmigaOS) with the 'Amiga' mark, we assume that these attempted registrations will be denied in the near future now that the latter has been registered.
