Text adventure: Updates for Hibernated 1 (Director's Cut)
In mid-June 2021 we reported about the remake of the text adventure Hibernated 1 (Director's Cut), which was released for numerous platforms. In the meantime, several updates have been released, which also affect the Amiga version: Release 8 mainly corrected spelling errors, while Release 9 helped to improve the overall performance of the Amiga version, since it uses a new "Z-Machine Version 5"-enabled interpreter. The presumably last update 12, released three weeks ago, "fixes an issue with the PunyInform library that caused a few of the interpreters to throw warnings when playing, particuarly the Amiga and Atari ST version of the game."

Amiga disks on PC: DrawBridge 2.8.6
Robert Smith's project "DrawBridge" (Disk Reader and Writer Bridge) uses like the similar ADF Drive a microcontroller - in this case an Arduino board - to read and write Amiga floppies with a connected standard PC floppy drive. By means of the plugin FloppyBridge, WinUAE is also officially supported since version 4.9.0. The changes of the current version:
  • Better extraction of disk revolutions and a few bugs fixed
  • Accurate flux extraction available but experimental so you can choose to use it or not (can't handle some long-track disks)
  • Modification of older flux reading method for more better compatability
  • New firmware *1.9.23* includes basic PLL support for UAE to provide better support for games using Weak/Flaky bits
  • Improved IPF & SCP writing by changing some of the parameters
  • Console application now has an icon and version information
  • Tidied up some of the assembly language in the Arduino Sketch

Hollywood plugin: Plananarama 2.0 released

Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, continue Hollywood's 20th anniversary celebrations with yet another major new release: Plananarama 2.0. Plananarama is the magic plugin which allows Hollywood scripts to be run on classic Amiga hardware without any graphics board. Once Plananarama is installed, all Hollywood scripts will 'automagically' run on palette screens as well! All resolutions are supported - from 8-bit LowRes to 1-bit productivity SuperHighRes Interlace.

Version 2.0 is a major update which makes use of many new features offered exclusively by Hollywood 9. By integrating seamlessly with Hollywood 9's new palette interface, it is now possible to write scripts which make use of the Amiga's custom chip hardware for a much better performance. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the new features in Plananarama 2.0:
  • support for Amiga hardware sprites
  • direct access to color registers for all kinds of effects like color cycling and fading
  • true palette based drawing without any color remapping
  • Unicode support
  • screen menus are now supported
  • drag'n'drop support
  • guigfx.library and render.library are only needed when in remapping mode
  • added a fully featured documentation in AmigaGuide, PDF and HTML
  • added three new example scripts demonstrating the new features like hardware sprites
  • several bug fixes and other improvements
Plananarama 2.0 is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. For its basic functionality Plananarama requires Hollywood 6 but all the new functions introduced in version 2.0 require Hollywood 9 which is why we highly recommend upgrading to Hollywood 9 if you haven't done that yet.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hollywood we also offer a special 20 euros discount on the full version of Hollywood for a limited time only. This is the perfect chance for all people who don't own Hollywood yet to grab their own copy and to explore the wonderful world of Hollywood and be fascinated by the gigantic functionality of this unique piece of software and all of the plugins that come with it!
