Metro Siege is a side-scrolling beat'em up for up to two players that requires 512 KB of chip and Fast RAM each. DaemonClaw: Origins of Nnar is supposed to be a side-scrolling run and gun. Development was originally started on the Amiga, but is currently being developed on modern platforms using the "Construct 2" construction kit. The finished game will then be backported to the Amiga.

Search engine and proxy: FrogFind! makes the web more IBrowse-compatible
The programmer of 'FrogFind!' regularly plays around with his old 68k-based Macs, which don't have up-to-date browsers or the hardware power needed for the modern web. To mitigate this problem, he has developed a portal that displays search results (from DuckDuckGo) and generates a highly simplified version of the desired page when a search result is clicked.

To achieve this, FrogFind! uses a PHP port of Firefox's "reading mode," which automatically removes elements such as menus, headers or footers and displays only the actual content of a web page. FrogFind! then simplifies the result of this operation again and delivers a page in HTML2 standard, where originally embedded graphics are now linked at the end of the document.

Music: Psyria plans new album. Survey for song remake
Dennis 'Psyria' Lohr writes: After "The Last Obligation [EP] (2005)" and the following longplayer "The 2nd Chapter (2007)", fans had to be patient for another 11 long years, until 2018 - With the longplayer "Moving On" the long awaited follow-up finally succeeded. Regarding the fourth album, things should proceed a little faster this time ;-).

According to current plans, both new and old tracks are included as each reloaded version. Now you have the choice! Which tracks of Psyria's previous music albums would you like to have as a reloaded version? Cast your vote now! Voting ends on 05/19/2021." (cg) (Translation: bb)

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 1.12
In version 1.12, Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's web browser Wayfarer supports YouTube for the first time. For now, there are some limitations, though. Sometimes it helps to change the "allow media playback" setting or to spoof as an iPad for example.

Changes include:
  • Overlay based video playback
  • Experimental support for Media Source
  • Improvements in HLS playback
Wayfarer requires MorphOS 3.14 and 1 GB of RAM. A CPU with at least 1,5 GHz is recommended. For feedback to the author, besides the integrated crash report also e-mails to wayfarer at wayfarer.icu or the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used. (snx)
