Ferrazzano, Italy - November 21, 2016


BOH GETS THE 17TH UPDATE AND FINDS A NEW HOME

After more than two months of hard work, BOH gets yet another free update!
More specifically, this update:
 * adds 17 new missions (5 very easy, 8 easy, 4 average);
 * improves 43 missions by means of new/revised hints, little changes to the layouts, and other changes;
 * marks training missions with a dedicated icon;
 * adds the remote control icon to the HUD;
 * adds graphics interpolation to enemy sprites;
 * improves some graphics and shooting sound effects;
 * adds specific sound effects to the theme "C64";
 * renames some missions and most themes;
 * reworks the manuals entirely;
 * reworks the soundtrack artwork entirely;
 * allows to run the game on Windows 10 as a normal user (due to changes in the Windows files handling policy, it had become necessary to run the game as administrator);
 * fixes the resetting of the timer due to the focus loss auto-pause when the game was already paused;
 * applies various other changes/optimizations.

Moreover, BOH has a new home now: it's available on itch.io at https://retream.itch.io/boh.

IndieGameStand and AmiStore customers can download the updated version from the respective store (please note that it might take a while before the new version appears). All the other customers can download it from itch.io after getting their key from http://www.retream.com/BOH/get_key.php?code=_CODE_ (where _CODE_ is the personal copy code).

The update is performed by installing the new version over the old one using the supplied installer.


About BOH

BOH is a dungeon crawler where you need to solve puzzles, collect items, open passages, avoid traps, kill the Evil Masters and the creatures they generate endlessly, and eventually come out of the mazes in one piece.
BOH, thanks to its unique aspect and gameplay, is an immersive experience that makes you feel as if you were actually lost in those treacherous dungeons. The game looks and feels unlike anything else thanks to the combination of a strong 8/16 bit spirit with a few newer techniques. The end result is a fascinatingly different video gaming experience.

Yes, indeed those are the Amiga systems supported. I don't know which system you were looking for, but if you are interested in the game itself, chances are that you can play it as it runs also on Linux, MacOS, and Windows (and every customer gets access to all the versions).

I know, it looks like a cool game.  I'm just a grumpy old man with a case of the Mondays, who would like if people would put the system requirements in the post so people wouldn't have to hunt them down (e.g., all of us classic users).  Cheers, and good work!  :)

Ah, I understand. I didn't put the requirements in the post because the latter is just to inform about the update. For all the details about the game, there's the webpage (mentioned in the post) ;)

Why no MorphOS release?

I simply can't support all the systems I've been asked to support. Already supporting the current 5 systems is a huge headache. Sorry.

@all

Due to a file overwrite, the installer that ended up in the AmigaOS package was not the latest version, and contained a bug that caused the update of the missions fail on some systems. The problem has been fixed and the package on itch.io (http://retream.itch.io/boh) has been updated.
You will also be informed when the AmiStore package is updated as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
