Hollywood 4.5 is out now

This just keeps getting better and better! I can't resist any more, I am definitely going to buy Hollywood soon. I'll probably be saving for X first of all, but maybe there'll be a bundle or something, who knows

One of the real benefits of using Hollywood is the feature that makes it possible to save executables for several platforms

That's one of the things that grabbed my attention the most, that has a lot of potential! It made me wonder though, why do you sell your product bundled with Sam rather than (for example) a cheap AMD system? Do the OS4 versions run better or have more options etc, or is it the novelty of having a commercial product running on OS4 (which indeed must be pretty cool)?

No piracy of our software - since it is running on os4.1
Great stability - we have not have any crashes yet.
Easy to use - power on/off with one button... no keyboard/mouse needs to be connected
Fast to turn on and off
Fun to set up since we may use amigas

Aha - makes sense, seems obvious now! Thanks

It seems like Hollywood 4.5 would be good platform to develop (simple) multiplatform games. Haven't seen many games using Hollywood though. Is there some good reason for this? Odd scripting language, slow exes ...

That's exactly what I was thinking of! Could be good for making point & click adventure games etc. I think I'm gonna give it a go when I have some spare cash.
