Is it possible to do game development for the Amiga in an emulator?
 
I'm thinking of getting AmigaForever Plus, and I was wondering if there is anything else I would have to get to get into game development, such as development ide and etc. Could someone point me in the right direction?
 
I heard about Amiga OS 4.1 and found out, that it is not possible to run OS 4.1 on UAE or WinUAE. Is there another route I could take to develop for OS 4.1?
 
I don't own a PowerPC, just an Intel PC.

Thanks for the link, the IDE looks great.
 
... I'm only now getting all this together. I will look into AROS asap. So for now OS4 is out of the question from what I figured out.
 
Is there planned support for OS4 in UAE or WinUAE? OR is this platform too advanced for emulation?

Thanks for all the great info. From what I gathered, I think I will be looking into sasc.
 
However, I'm worried about the note that developing in the emulator leaves problems when trying on actual hardware.
