Hello! I program games.
« on: August 19, 2005, 08:08:24 PM »
Hello everyone.  I'm new here, obviously.  My name is Amy (ooh, a girl!) and I program games for the Amiga.  Well I used to, a lot, but never used to finish them :( and then the Amiga kind of went out of fashion and I didn't bother anymore but I've recently (January) taken it up again.  There doesn't seem to be a forum category for people developing games or software for classic Amigas, unless I'm missing it.

I'm working on a game at the moment that I hope to finish by the end of the year... don't want to say too much about it though, not sure if I'd get into trouble for "spamming" or not!  But if you were at CGEUK last weekend you may have played it!

I'm also currently trying to get a PC floppy drive to replace a duff internal drive... I shall certainly post on here later if I have any success.

So... that's me!

@Tricky:

Welcome. :-)

Which Amiga do you use for developing? We would be interested to know about system specs and OS/software used.

Ok my machine is an A1200 with a Blizzard '060 card, 32 meg, and a 1.2 gig HD.  The 060 is supposed to be 50MHz but there's a fault on the board so it only works in '040 clock halving mode for some reason, so it's only 25MHz.  Workbench 3.1, I think...

I also have an unexpanded A1200 test machine.  My games must work on a basic A1200!  It's the rules!

I'm using a rare combination of Devpac and AMOS Pro.  DPaint III and ProTracker 4 Beta.

Welcome!
I guess you could post in the Amiga OS Development section.

There is also Utilitybase

What language and tools are you using to develop? (Edit: Ninja'd- ignore)

The next project will be a shoot-em-up I think. It will be released for Christmas on PS2 via the magic of emulation, courtesy of Retrosoft. Along with some other new Amiga stuff on the same disc, I think.

hello tricky ,

your program look's good in the video on you site, but there is a camera tracking problem ... no ?

it's too speed . i think you must program as 'sonic from sega' a tracking method for your game

The frame rate of the video doesn't really do it justice... and neither does UAE for that matter.  It uses a "look ahead" system, so the scrolling centres on a point ahead of you so you can see more of where you're going than where you've been. As opposed to the traditional "push scrolling" of days of yore, which produced exactly the opposite effect.

I'll post an ADF of a playable demo at some point.

@tricky

Your game looks like alot of fun, it's refreshing to see some new Amiga games, thanks so much!. Are you familiar with the CD32 console? Would be really cool if you might consider releasing for this platform as well, perhaps an enhanced version with cd audio soundtracks, would make me & alot of other people very happy indeed :-)

@Tricky

Do you have any idea whatsoever, about How cool you are? huh?  Huh?

Thanks for this super game!!!!! Please finish it!


I use My Amiga as My main Machine above my Pentium 4

my Amiga is a CD32/SX32 Pro 68030 @50mhz 128mb Ram and a 40Gigabyte HD  and MP3 Decoder. Currently also working on a game myself.but I am not a programmer....this game runs through Scala MM300...kind of interactive.....like a Game show on TV. This games uses a Genlock and a DV camera controlled Via LANC. its only in Menu stages right now :-)


Amiga Rules..........BIGTIME!

CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...
