Any plans to increased the AmigaNG software?

Watch this space.  

I addition to developing AMIStore, we have been talking to developers for the last 6 months and negotiating deals for new content and also popular older Amiga software with a view on modernising it and developing it further.  We realise that Amiga users like their favourite classic applications and would like to see them enhanced to run on new hardware.  As we conclude deals, we will publish the news here.

Any particular preference of classic software ?

We should have something similar soon...

One of the essential things identified is porting back the changes on the AmigaOS 4 version to the AmigaOS 3 version. Paying developers is very expensive in terms of the number of potential sales in the Amiga market at this point of time. So maximising the user base is essential for these projects to be commercial sound and at least break-even.

Hi

AmigaKit is primarily Classic based really, not AmigaNG.  The vast majority of our customers are Classic users.  There are a lot of talented MorphOS developers out there, whom were former Classic developers, so we are all aware of their talents. If a MorphOS developer came to us with a good idea and it made commercial sense, then we would consider it, of course.  Especially if we could back port it to Classic too.

AMIStore is for AmigaOS 4 and we are working on an AmigaOS 3 version too.  There will be a mix of software available on there for Classic and NG.

@Kronos

I remember buying a load of licences for Papyrus back 5 years ago(?) to support the developer.  Unfortunately nothing came of it, but I spent a few hundred on the enterprise.

The negotiation for one particular piece of Classic Amiga software that I am having currently involved in will more than likely extend over the date of Amiwest.  

One thing I have learned (the hard way) over the last year, is that software development in the Amiga market is a long process.  We operate full time in this business but most of the developers we work with do not, they do the Amiga work in their spare time (usually reserved for family time).  

Anyway back to today's AMIStore development work ...
