THE DREAM OF ROWAN. A brand new game for Amiga 68k

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Really do you need 2mb chip ram and 68030 for this?

They say in the description it's written in AMOS.  Just like games written in Backbone, have very high system requirements to compensate for inefficiencies of the language.  Just be glad someone is working on some new software, eh?

Realease it like a free game on aminet

Another typical Amiga user who believes everything should be free. #sigh

This is why we can't have nice things.  

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

what happens to the money if it does not make the goal?  Is it refunded to the people who paid?

Kickstarter doesn't take the money unless the goal is met.

Make the background move like in Shadow Of The Beast

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, I just want to point out how absurd that is.  SOTB was written in hardware-banging assembly at the height of the Amiga's popularity.  No one left here, or very few people, have the time, desire, or coding skill, to write such a game anymore.  Sorry folks, that ship has sailed.

Now I don't know anything about the guy writing this other game (or his "reputation"), but he's pretty clearly stated that it's being written in AMOS.  So to ask for them to "Oh, just make it like SOTB"... yeah, sure.  Wishful thinking, and all that.  Why don't you just say "Hey, go learn some long dead programming language for a computer hardly anyone codes for anymore, to make a game that - at best - you have the possibility of making a couple thousand bucks off of, while all the while being flamed in public forums...  AAAHHH!

Anyhow, I backed it, because I'm at a point in my life when I make pretty decent money, and want to support continued Amiga software development.  I pirated the sh** out of games 20-something years ago when I was a broke teenager.  Now that I'm an adult I try to do the right thing, and support continued Amiga software development where I can.  It's your choice what you want to do.  Cheers!

When you have really experience why do you not offer him to help them?

Those who can, do.  Those who can't, complain on the forums.  :laughing:

This kickstarter project already collected nearly 1200 Euros, unbelievable.

SMDH.  You've obviously never used Kickstarter or you'd understand that it's actually collected $0, at this point.  It's pledges, nothing more.  There's nothing to stop a backer from changing their pledge, or even cancelling their payment method, prior to the completion of the Kickstarter (when the money is actually collected - if the goal is met).

I wish people wouldn't bloviate about things they don't know anything about, lol.  

@Amiten; Dont get worked up about people being negative. Do like Amigakit/Trevor, stay positive and ignore the negativity. Ofcourse accept constructive critisism, but as long as Ive read Amigaforums, every effort have had x amount of people going out of their way to belittle peoples efforts. Just prove them wrong by focus on development

+1

Kind of funny how all the people commenting negatively on this thread are only serving to keep it at the top of the forums.  Hate this project so much?  Stop commenting on it so it will drop off the radar and no one else will see it.  You're basically giving him "free advertising" at this point.  

If you don't like kickstarters (which would be ironic)

:laughing:

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

If you have negative comments towards you,  I can see why.  You're making your friend Amiten look bad.  I'll delete your posts if you keep it up.

Ban Hammer!!



Just kidding, I jest, I jest.  Keeping up with the Kickstarter page, the update at the bottom with the Original Animation / Enhanced Animation looks great!  Big fan of the pixel art, keep it up!

Nice!  Just played v0.1 of the demo, since I saw it on Aminet and had a few minutes to spare.  Got killed about 20 times in five minutes, I am definitely going to need more practice at this, LOL.  :lol:
