Sprite/Icon/Map editor: Raster Master V1.7 R84 for Windows 10/11 (update)
Raster Master (amiga-news.de reported) is a sprite/icon/map editor for Windows 10/11 which generates RayLib-, PutImagedata and Map code for gcc, AmigaBASIC, Amiga C, Amiga Pascal, QuickBasic, QB64, Quick C, Turbo Pascal, freepascal, Turbo C, Turbo Basic, Power Basic, FreeBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA, and PC-BASIC (YouTube video).
About the now released version 1.6 R83 the developer wrote: "This is a big one! Refactored so much code and deleted even more! But the most exciting aspect is that we are back to support 32 bit systems. The previous method used for rendering was terrible in terms of memory. Now way less memory used.
Rendering and scrolling is much faster now! Everything in the main editor has been simplified.
All shapes now are rendered in their correct color when drawing/adjusting size. Previously during draw/size shape was using xor to erase previous shape.
Grid and Clip Select outline are rendered over the zoomed image. Everything is fast now that you can't notice this.
The tools menu now includes the hidden tools that were available only when selecting a clip area. These tools can be used now when the image is not selected. The action will be performed on the entire image.
There maybe some things I missed, but overall I think you will notice the improvements!"
Update: (01.06.2023, 05:12, dr)
In the meantime, version 1.7 R84 has been released: the sprite importer now also has the options "Grid" and "Snap to grid", the map editor has a grid in the background that can be switched off if required. Also, a crosshair pointer has been introduced in the edit windows. (dr)

Video: Experiments with the AMOS Layers System (ALS)
Simone Bevilacqua's AMOS Layers System (ALS) "turns the screens of AMOS Professional into layers that can be laid over one another, with complete control of order, colors and opaqueness, while keeping them renderable as usual" (amiga-news.de reported). During a brainstorming for a new game with ALS he did some experiments which he recorded in two videos (1, 2). The basic idea here is that there are two parallel worlds in the game: a real one (dangerous/dark) and an illusory one (pleasant/nice), each of which becomes visible to the player on different occasions.

Retro magazine: LOAD 3 (2017, German) also available in printed form
LOAD, a German magazine published by the "Verein zum Erhalt klassischer Computer e.V." (Association for the Preservation of Classic Computers), was initially only published as a PDF file starting with the 3rd issue published in 2017 for reasons of expense.
In the meantime, however, the third issue (topic among others: "Repairing battery damage on the Amiga 2000") has also been printed and can be purchased from APC&TCP or the Restore Store. There, as well as at poly.play, the issues 5-8 are also still available. (snx)

Sprite/Icon/Map editor: Raster Master V1.5 R82 for Windows 10/11
Raster Master (amiga-news.de reported) is a sprite/icon/map editor for Windows 10/11 which generates RayLib-, PutImagedata and Map code for gcc, AmigaBASIC, Amiga C, Amiga Pascal, QuickBasic, QB64, Quick C, Turbo Pascal, freepascal, Turbo C, Turbo Basic, Power Basic, FreeBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA, and PC-BASIC (YouTube video).
Version 1.5 R82 has now been released, in which it is possible for the first time to switch between the map editor and the sprite editor without having to close the map editor window. If changes were made in the sprite editor and then switched to the map editor, all sprite changes are updated in the map editor view.
In addition, the performance of the map editor has been improved so that the tiles can now be drawn much faster. The new method also allows much larger maps to be created. (dr)

Strategy game: Devlog #1 - Target platforms, supported languages
For the announced strategy game "Virtual Enemies" (amiga-news.de reported), the developers have published first information and a first interim status on the development of the game:
"Basically we are working on a version that should be playable on the Amiga38. This means that the player should be able to create a character and execute a hack. That is the minimum goal that should be achieved by then.
As target platform we aim at an Amiga 500 with 1MB memory. At the same time, the game will be developed absolutely system compliant, which will allow us to access an optional network stack. Yes, you will be able to play the game alone without any restrictions in the story. Nevertheless, we already have some cool multiplayer features on the list. More information will follow in the coming weeks once we have completed initial testing.
We are aware that not everyone understands English or that for quite a few the English vocabulary is limited. That's not a shame, Frank's English vocabulary is not the best either. Especially in terms of understanding the story present in the game, this can be problematic. At this point we can give the all-clear:
The game will support English and German at release. New languages will be included by adding translated language text files. We, that is LogicalByte, do NOT have to change anything in the game files themselves. It's up to the community to do this on their own to support people who don't know English and German very well. We are currently doing final tests and will publish a guide (and suitable tools) in due time.
We know from inquiries that you are greedy for new image material. We would like to fulfill this wish and will publish new pictures time to time in the coming weeks. Please understand that we need longer for some things. :)" (dr)

AMOS: Eclips animation in "Projects in the attic" added
At the end of November, the game developer group "Electric Black Sheep" had published a collection of games under the name "Projects in the attic", which were created for test purposes with the programming language AMOS (amiga-news.de reported). Included was the game "Eclips", in which you steer an owl through a landscape that is always the same. The group added the archive "EclipsAnim.rar" to this game, which now offers a complete animation in the sense of changing landscapes. Impressive! (dr)
