Rogue-like game: Roguecraft V0.4.3
In October 2022, Budger Punch announced an Amiga version of their C64 game Rogue64 with improved graphics and adapted features (amiga-news.de reported). At the beginning of August a demo version was released for the AmiGameJam 2022 (YouTube video). Now a first update is available which among others fixes some bugs. The developers wrote:

"We have fixed issue with the game turning real-time when you tap the fire-button. We have added an instructions screen, and an (currently empty) Achievements screen. The spikes now work in the game. Be careful! The player now moves smoothly when there are not monsters in the room, to make backtracking less tedious.

We have also fixed some graphical glitches, and random memory writes that would corrupt the music. Hopefully this is good now, or at least a lot better!

There are other changes you will just have to find out yourselves. Have fun finding them!

We also want to say THANK YOU for all the awesome feedback and suggestions from all of you playing our game. It is so lovely so see the community embracing this hobby project, and want to help us make this a great game!" (dr)

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.9.24
RedPill, developed by Carlos Peris, is a game construction kit written in Amiblitz 3.98, which allows the development of games from various genres (see short tests of two Redpill games). RedPill is compatible with AGA and ECS, the "player" for playing the finished creations requires a total of 1.5 MB RAM. Jens 'Farbfinsternis' Henschel has written a tutorial.

The new version 0.9.24 provides the following changes:
  • Added support for 64 global variables, it was 32.
  • In the exported game only the used variables will be allocated, potentially saving some memory.
  • Fix in the tile animations that was causing the exported games using them to run very slowly.
  • Simplified handling of reading exporting projects.
  • Fixes and implementations related to custom fonts usage in HUD and in triggers.
  • Exact values for friction and weight can now be set up and displayed.
  • Trigger help routines have been improved.
  • More triggers have been documented in the in-editor help.
  • Optimizations in the main loop of the game.
  • Optimizations in the tile comparison triggers.
  • Optimizations in the player input triggers.
  • Optimizations in the render code.
  • Some memory was wasted when changing the current mod being played, this has been optimized.
  • Some unused code has been removed.
  • Fixed a bug in Absolute Zero project when going back to menu and starting a stage again.

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 6.1
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 6.1 of his web browser Wayfarer for MorphOS. The developer recommends installing the new version via the "Check for updates" function, as this is quicker and ensures that all necessary files are updated correctly. Changes:
  • Downloads and network cache writes now use asyncio.library
  • Adjusted SSL ciphers to try to default to ones that are faster on PowerPC
  • Checks whether lo0 interface is enabled and warns if not
  • Improved error handling in auto-updater

Platform game: Tony demo version v1.2
Tony by Monochrome Productions is a monochrome platform game that is now available in version 1.2 on Aminet (YouTube video). After the programmer Paweł 'tukinem' Tukatsch first had written games like Farmiga in AMOS, he switched to the Blitz Basic 2 programming language and "trained" his skills with games like Ami-Tower or Wood Block Puzzle. Tony is now to be the first major game written with Blitz Basic 2, which is a tribute to the Polish journalist and travel writer Tony Halik.



As an explorer in the style of Indiana Jones, you travel through ancient ruins and try to avoid snakes, creepy insects and deadly pits with spikes. There are also various keys to find. In the new demo version 1.2, there is a new game menu and the entry of a code at the end of a level has been removed. Instead, you now have to collect the last key. In addition, throwing potions from the inventory has been removed: if you collect a key and have a full inventory, a potion turns into a key by itself.

If you are in the mood for some visual variety, you can now try out different colour palettes in the settings. (dr)
