Turn-based strategy game: New demo version of "Ecliptic"
Ecliptic is described by the author as "a mixture of turn based tactical combat and role playing" (amiga-news.de reported) being a visually reminiscent of the retro-futuristic science fiction of the 1970s and 1980s (YouTube video). The player's task is to regain control of a spaceship drifting in space and occupied by aliens. Now a second demo has been released for the game which still is in development.
More messages have been added to describe what is going on or what is expected of the player. Modal actions like selecting an item to use or viewing the map can now be cancelled by the icon or key that activated them. Work has also begun on adding further animations to the robot characters for using objects or attacking. As the author writes, the first level is as good as finished and he has started on the second level, "which will lean heavily into paying homage to Aliens".
The game requires 1MB RAM, recommended is an Amiga 1200 with HD and Fast RAM.
