Hi there,
Cinemaware, the company behind Defender of the Crown, Wings and many other great games, is back. Actually we relaunched our website, with a timeline and have announced a new iOS emulated Game.
But in the next weeks we will be announcing a major new project soon!

Go Cinemaware !
All Amigans have you in their hearts :)

Nice. Are you still offering your Amiga classics as an ADF download on your site?
-
So anything for Android users or just all Ipod/pad?

Bought DOTC for PC a few years back, had plenty of fun with it. The gameplay was simple and just updated Amiga/C64-classic which was exactly what I was looking for. Welcome back.
-
Great trailer, the lady is very hot!

Me too. Had some great fun with it.
Meanwhile, there's an updated X-Com coming out for the PC too:

I myself am eagerly waiting for Worms Revolution (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1i3EH8p4J0)

Great News
King of Chicago II I think ;-)

@ cinemaware
guys really no introduction is necessary on this or any other Amiga related site. Defender of the Crown is permanently etched into my subconscious ever since I saw it for the first time running on the almighty Amiga 1000:knuddel:
-
Nice trailer!
I like the comment by her after the Ninjas "...Never trust a Ninja..."
Anyway, if you read this, I think you need to re-edit the video a bit. In your video at 2:59, behind one of the Stooges, on a board it says "Today! Annual Oyster Orgy + Cracker Contest". I'm not sure if that was there originally or you guys are using one of the cracked versions of the game. Just so you know.:crazy:

They are doing a Kickstarted for Wings: The Director's Cut - I am a backer now!

Woohoo iPadz is the new Amiga!

Young Aussie girl doing the commentary.

DOTC for Android would be nice. Its one of few games which should be playable on touch screen.
-
If a company has beg for money to start a new project, you can pretty much bet it will not fly.
In the case of Wings, this is a shame...
-
Cinemaware is not a developer like EA or other big companys. The Videos where paid by ourselfs and many work "behind the scences" is done with help from friends of the team.

Not familiar with Kickstarter then? ;-) That's kind of what they do..
And there are different levels for success (or there should be).
You don't have to be EA or BioWare or whatever to be successful.
One of the things I am hoping will come out of Kickstarter will be a much better "niche" market or whatver you want to call it.
Back in the day, games were very successful if they sold a hundred thousand copies. Now, you can't get a game made if it would do that, even if it's a good game.

They are doing a PC version, so not totally. They are starting with an HD version of an existing game (ala the Leisure Suit Larry kickstarter). But I would think that new content would be likely, depending on success of this or not..
I'm a fan of these type of games, so I'll support, even tho this is an HD remake..
Fingers crossed..

well, cinemaware, good to hear you are considering yourselves 'back' ! I am looking forward to your product(s). However, it would be even better if you were back on our beloved platform.. :)

Yes, because there is *SOOOOOOOOOOO* much money here in Amiga-land.....
There's a reason that game companies don't give two sh!ts about the Amiga anymore.

As a person involved in the current market of iOS game development I will offer this one piece of advice. UNITY. If you make the right development choices now you can develop the game for all platforms but using one system which outputs source code for Android AND iOS for example. Don't limit your platform choices as you did before with the NEC PC Engine CD ICFTD based push which ultimately led to the end of Cinemaware in the 90s due to shift in consumer demand for Sega/Nintendo consoles instead.
I wish you all the best with the relaunch, I own many of your old games on multiple platforms (C64 conversions which were even more amazing that Amiga originals, Amiga of course and Atari ST, also DoTC 256 colour digitally remastered edition CD for Windows PC too).

Sad but true, if I did my own donation page to kickstart development of my Amiga games I would probably end up with 47 cents or 31 pence (which would not fund the purchase of even a used Amiga 2000 machine to continue coding my 3D textured arcade game haha)
PS I have a question for Cinemaware
Did you receive royalties or paid for use of the licence/IP for Wings 2:Aces High on the 16bit Super Nintendo console?
-

+ 1, an AmigaOS4.1 port would be cool :D

Wings: Director's Cut will be developed for different Platforms. Like iOS, Android, Windows PC and MAC OS.

Nope, this was an unofficial release by Namco this time. But at this time, cinemaware has ceased to exist.
