`27.Nov.2024` Mastodon (ANF)	Ambermoon: How fingerprinting identified a press leak On the occasion of the widest possible release of the Ambermoon source code last year, its lead programmer Jurie Horneman also wrote a text about how he managed to identify through fingerprinting a fairly well-known journalist who had passed on the game in 1993 - and forgot to publish this article. Now he has made up for this at the title link. When he confronted the journalist at the time by a phone call, he would have been very apologetic. His new intern must have leaked it and so on. In any case, Jurie Horneman writes in his final sentence, the game received a good rating. (snx) [News message: 27. Nov. 2024, 11:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`25.Nov.2024` itch.io	Puzzle game: Connect available for free Frank from the LogicalByte team writes: "Hello everyone, it's been over 2 years since we released Connect (amiga-news.de reported). During this time, we have received a lot of praise, which has made us very happy. The gaming community has also sent us suggestions for improvements, which we have implemented as long as they fit into the concept and the game technically allowed it. As expected, the box version sold well and sales of the digital version were also satisfactory. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support! Nevertheless, it is time to take the next step and we have decided to offer this game for free. With this we would like to offer the other players of this world the opportunity to spend great hours with this game on the Amiga. Remaining copies of the box version are still available at Alinea Computer." (dr) [News message: 25. Nov. 2024, 09:32] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`25.Nov.2024` Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel	Turn-based strategy: November-2024-Update for "Settle the World" Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel writes about his November update: "A new version of my Amiga game "Settle the World" is available. The "Quality of Life and Pathfinding Update - November 2024" contains mostly bug fixes and a completely revised pathfinding. n the last few months I've changed my real-life job, otherwise I would have lost my job. This job is very demanding and I can no longer manage to work four or more hours a day on "Settle the World". Development will definitely continue, but at a slower pace than last year. As always, you can download the latest version of the game free of charge from my project page. You can find a more detailed description of the changes in the corresponding developer diary for the update. I would be very pleased to receive feedback and constructive criticism."
