I'd almost say you should write it for a plain Amiga 500...


There's no money in a game designed for an A500 anymore.

Simply put, as much as you love you amiga, for christ sakes, UPGRADE!!! Sure there's not alot of support for amigas, but jeez, sell your old 1200 and invest in an A1 board. Motorola's 6X000 series is archaic by todays standards. Sure, you can use it, but do you people REALLY think a 68060 can handle running something like Unreal Tournament 2003 and that's a game I see Miggy Users whining for EVERYWHERE.

Also note that I said *I* wanted those specs. We don't even have an engine. For all I know, the game could run on an '040.

As for your comment about a Voodoo being old, blame Commodore and Amiga Inc for that one. You should be grateful that some engineers made a PCI bus that allowed your amiga to even use a, as you put it, 'a card (voodoo) that is way old compared to todays PC standards' in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the YOUNGEST amiga is a decade old, but you call a Gfx card, one that's only 4 or so years old and was the FIRST 2D/3D card in one chip, old.

We'll be getting new hardware once OS4 is out and believe me a Voodoo 3 is a powerhouse, compared to that crap Picasso IV or CV64 you may have.  If you don't have the hardware to run the games, don't complain. While I like the HUNDREDS of old games I played on my A500, EVERY amiga user wants the eyecandy they see on PC boxes, including me.

I don't play alot of games anymore, 'cos they're all clones of something before, or they expect me to shell out 400$ for a Gfx card, just to play one game.. Amiga upgrades aren't more expensive that their PC counterparts, they just did it sooner. I'm not about to spend around $3000 bucks to build a machine that will play Doom 3. That's absurd...

If you had played Heroes before, you'd know that there's ALOT of graphic heavy moments in the game. If you can get a version of something similar to run on an A500, I'll buy you a cookie.

guys.. it will be a 16bit game , so an amiga with gfx board is the most likely thing + most of all it wont be 68000 and i think a 020 is out of the question also...but hey lets see when there is a coder who wants to help out..

cheers

u guys gonna work on an existing engine?

like "open command & conquer" or  Operation Counterstrike, Dafel Bloodline or other amiga games that were developed or under development? rather than start from scratch.

just a though.

Ok look........

Game engine:
16-bit isometric engine(ppc, graphic card)

So basically that means we need ppc programmers  :-)
And 3 skilled graphic artists, please send examples of your work to:

restore@broadpark.no

And we need someone to write a storyline based on in the middle-ages, actually the game can have one story for each race(3 races) in "single player mode"

First of all we need to get together a team, then we decide on the storyline

Why ppc u say? well, it is the future of amiga isn`t it?  ;-) Thinking of OS4 and all......

And no, this will NOT be a clone of Heroes, it will only be inspired by that game, the rest is up to us  :-)

slimjim: thoose guys works profssionally and until this game is out of the thinking glass..well rather not get in contact and maybe? waste their time?..

mission 1.. build up the team.

mission 2.. stabilize the team :O)O

mission 3.. make the plot/sketches etc of everything, write it all down on paper or in a txt editor etc..

then an engine is needed , and maybe after that stage, contact more people and ie you can present atleast something for the team or people u want in...



restore: naah my guess its still crashing like hell, its a pc... lets see if my amiga is useless when you come over on friday :D
