One thing I've always been wondering about Citadel: Is this game in any way related to Star Wars and Lucas Arts? Some of those characters actually look like they resemble famous Star Wars characters.

@Cammy

Whatever became of your game design/development ideas? Last I read about it was that you guys became increasingly frustrated about finding someone programming a board and, in return, gave up on it. Have there been any more recent developments?

It would be a real shame if all your good work had gone unrewarded.
Especially because of such a trivial matter.

Unfortunately there is still no Amiga development forum (since Utility-Base has been gone for a few years now and our Underground-Arcade forum was lost) so the Amiga community continues to experience a lack of new games and software. With a good new forum for developers to work on their ideas together I imagine we'd see a much more productive community and more game releases. But unfortunately there is no one who can program a new forum or pay for hosting and domain registration. I haven't given up, but it's hard to work with no help when you have depression.


You don't actually need to pay for a forum/server/programmer. There are plenty of free solutions around.

Even though I work for a software company specializing in online solutions, I'm usually too cheap and lazy to utilize a full blown PHP driven server solution for my own stuff.

Anyways. If you're still looking into that kind of community platform, I'll try and see if my boss can find me a some space on one of our dedicated servers (we have a few server farms located in both,  the US and Switzerland). Since I'm still pretty much a trainee, perhaps I can even get him to assign me to that project.

No promises though.

Why do not just someone start a forum for Amiga coding and try to get some peeps there?
Won't be much work at least to start one, fire up a unused x86 PC and install DSL or Puppy Linux and Apache, MySQL, PHP, phpMyAdmin, OpenSSL etc and you will have a fully working server, buy a cheep fitting domain for a few bucks, install phpBB and done.

I would set this up and host from one of my servers here at home if there where interest enough from anyone.


I guess setting it up at home would be the least expensive custom domain solution (aside of  a Forumotion custom domain, which is only 15 euros/year). What about reliability though?
