Modern Amiga Gaming (Don't think so!)
« on: November 09, 2003, 08:42:00 PM »
Question.

How is it that all games (under development!) look so bad.  If some of these games were released in the Amiga's hayday (89-93) - we would have laughed at them and yet here we are over a decade later giving praise for games which summount to nothing more than old Public Domain rejects.

Oh am I about to be flamed!!!!!

Don't flame me for my comments.  Please please please.  Someone prove me wrong. I challenge you all.

You missed my point.

There is a new system coming along which we all believe is going to be the next big thing.  Lets face it, thats why we are all here.

Bedroom coders are keeping the Amiga alive as they did throughout it's life. I conceed this point.

So.  After investing so much time programming
gameplay and as many addictive qualities as possible, do they look crap?

My final point was - Prove me wrong.  I'm still waiting.

BTW: I'm an ex Amiga programmer 680x0 and C.  I am well aware of how long it takes to produce a game.

So what would you rather play or for that matter - buy.  If you were given two games - both were almost identical in all repsects although the graphics on one of those games looked like it belongs on a C64 - I think anyone considering buying would go for the game with the better visuals.

Realms of Power.

It does look good.

I am interested in the solo programmer/small teams.  These guys will be the backbone of the Amiga initially.

Any more suggestions?
