I agree with bloodline and others.  But it does depend on the type of game.
 
If you were doing a turn based strategy game for instance, then blizt should be more than enough.
 
If you want to do more arcade type games, then unless you use ASM it will be slow and look crap.
 
I am all up for helping if I can.

What will make or break this or any other prjoects is good/abd project management.
 
You will need specegfic tasks for spefic people, with strict deadlines etc.
 
Yes I can help coding.  I will just learn whatever language as we go along.  I can also code review, bug hunt etc etc.  Blitz I suppose would be best, as did some work Bliz on the PC years and years ago.

Quote from: bloodline;668165
The PC version of Blitz it totally unlike the Amiga version... Just pointing this fact out :)
 
Im wondering what the precise goals of this project actually are?
 
If it's to write free games for the Amiga500 then perhaps blitz is the way to go.
If it is to write commercial games for classic Amigas in general... Then blitz and Asm would be a good choice.
If it is to write anything else... Then the only real choice is C + SDL ;)

 
Is it not ?
 
Shame I like blitz on the pc, its pretty good and supports custom types etc

I really can not get on with Franko.  He is banned for life from this site and he is a trouble maker.  I lot of people on this site do like him however.  Its a personal thing, so please deleted my account.  I am sorry to let you down.

I think thats a bit harsh pesia.  I added Franko to my ignore list and had no dealings with him for months and months and month.  I did the sensible thing and left things there. He got banned for reasons that had nothing to do with me.
 
I have never had issues with anyone like that on this site in over ten years.  It wasn't just me either.

Sorry I don't think it would benefit anyone for us to be in such a small place.
 
I will say that Franko is very commited to the Amiga, does not have a job so has a lot of time on his hands, and has coded for the Amiga Numurous times.
 
You are better off having Franko on board than me.
