The amazing artist and Amiga user Jim Sachs has posted some videos that some his work on the Amiga (and other items).
Do yourself a favor and watch 20KL Late. It is one of the most amazing Amiga games/demos I've ever seen. Even 25-ish years later, it looks great. Trust me, you will see this and wish it had been released.
I knew Jim was working on this game and that it was cancelled. I didn't remember why but with a budget of $4 million dollars, I can see why Disney bulked.
However, the game would have been amazing. I always thought Defender of the Crown had great graphics but you can clearly see how much Jim advanced from that to 20KL Late.
I believe Jim Sachs is one of the most talented people in technology. He is a great artist, composer, programmer, and director. He always made the Amiga look great!
You can see his channel here:

If you haven't seen 20KL Late you are in for a real treat!
Enjoy!

Did you guys know that Jim Sachs is now a multimillionaire? I told the story somewhere on here before. I cant remember if it was a mobile application or what it was that blew him up. But he's a real amiga hero!
-
**** multimillionaire.. then why not come and rescue the AMIGA Jim?? hehe..how cool would that be..just sayin..

Hahaha yeah "rescue the amiga" we had chances they blew it. He built some big house in the woods and lives there. I think he is rescuing himself :)

**** multimillionaire.. then why not come and rescue the AMIGA Jim?? hehe..how cool would that be..just sayin..

You'd need at least 100Mil to have even a small hope in hell of resurrecting the Amiga! I've spent far too much time thinking about how this could be done but I dont have access to even 1Mil, let alone 100Mil +. :(

What a master. To think that I only wished I had the next piece of gear to "finally be able to do good quality work" and this guy was blowing it away with stock Amiga chipsets.
I use this sort of work as a lesson: it's not your tools, it's what you do with them.

150% correct man. Especially as a visual artist the classic amiga platform STILL is viable today. Whats funny is a lot of modern designers are trying to replicate the retro 8bit/16bit look.

Wow! Just wow!
-
I love it.

Amazing! Absolutely beautiful. :knuddel:

Jim Sachs for President!

C=USA came to "rescue the Amiga" on a small budget and fell flat on it's face. You can't "rescue the Amiga" on a tight budget. To produce a "Modern Amiga," whatever that may be, would cost tens of millions. And given the current audience here, 99% of them would disagree with you on whether it is a "Modern Amiga" after you finished.

Persia - LOL CUSA and Amiga you are joking - their Amiga was a sticker on a case - as much Amiga will be my laptop with that sticker and his WinXP. You made my day - with AROS it would have been at least an amiga-ish OS but so...
-
Really nice video, thanks for the link ;)
-
A true artist indeed. Amiga probably wouldn't have been as great as it was thanks to him! His graphics are legendary. His youtube channel contains beautiful animations done on miggies. He was our "digital" Michelangelo, the lord of pixels ;-)
-
Very nice looking visuals indeed, such a shame that the filthy lucre stopped it in its tracks.
Jim was a great pixeller but my favorite was either Facet or RA, can't decide between them.
