Commercial version of "Catacomb 3D" for CD32 in progress
Recently the engine of the 25 years old 3D-Shooter Catacomb 3D was ported to AmigaOS. Pascal Papara has acquired a licence for selling the full version of the game and is going to distribute a CD32-version of the game commercially. For this pupose it is supposed to be adapted to the CD32, among others it will be controlled with a joypad and the CD32-specific chip Akiko is supposed to be used for chanky-to-planar conversions.
A Youtube video demonstrates the current stage of the development (on an emulator). Currently the features of saving the game status and using the original "Adlib"-sound are being added.

Entwickler-X: Blog established, M.A.C.E. Remastered announced
The team von Entwickler-X (e.g. Emotion, Tap Jewels, Bubble Shooter DX) has established a "Development Blog", which in future will inform about their projects. In the first two entries a reworked version of the shooter M.A.C.E. is announced which will be also released for AmigaOS 4.
In a discussion on os4welt.de, Thomas 'imagodespira' Claus, member of Entwickler-X, explained that the gameplay will be changed and there will be also more animations, backgrounds and other graphics. This new, remastered edition therefore will require a more powerful hardware.
