Northland coming to MorphOS

[LT56]

Funatics and e.p.i.c. interactive announce "Northland" for the Mac and MorphOS.

Funatics Software Gmbh and e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment gmbh announced today that Cultures 2 sequel "Northland" will be ported to the Apple Mac and MorphOS.

"We are very happy to be able to bring one of the most popular Godgame series to gamers on the Apple Mac and MorphOS" said Thomas Steiding, CEO of e.p.i.c. about the deal.

Thomas Friedman, CEO of Funatics added: "e.p.i.c. is the ideal partner for us to bring "Northland" to an even larger audience. Unfortunately users of systems like Macintosh or the new MorphOS are poorly supported when it comes to innovative new games. We intend to fill this gap with the release of "Northland" for these platforms.

The story of "Northland" begins where the plot of "Cultures 2 - The Gates of Asgard" ended. After perilous adventures our four heroes defeated the Midgard serpent and thus saved the world. But one day they were disturbed by a call for help from their friend Hatschi. Hatschi's homeland was plagued by mysterious monstrous serpent creatures, which spread chaos and destruction through the country. Without hesitation Byjami and Crya hurried to help him and stumbled right into a new adventure, in which the sly god Loki will play an important role...

Features Northland:

Stand-alone Adventure Strategy game.
*   Single player campaign with 8 missions including several sub missions.
*   The exciting plots tells the story of Viking God Loki who tried to take revenge on Godfather Odin for his banishment from Asgard to Earth. For that he abuses our four human heroes with his intrigues and traps.
*   8 additional free single player missions (non campaign).
*   3 difficulty levels to make the game fun for everybody from beginners to experts.
*   Special effects like weather effects, fog, ghost units etc.
*   Based on the enhanced technology of "Cultures 2 - The Gates of Asgard"; enhanced AI.

Why do I have the feeling that if this announcement came out for OS4 instead of MOS, you would be jumping up and down in excitement?  Funny that.

Strategy games rule. They're way better than dumb fps games.

AAARRARRARARARRARRARARGHHHHHHHHHHH  :-x  :-x  :-x  :-x  :-x

I have to agree with Kenny on something  :-(  :-(

 ;-)

Yeap FPS was lame with Doom, Quatsch1-3, is lame with Halflive
and allways will be lame ....

Strategy good (just not me when playing).

A racing game or even a Jump&Run would be nice though.

@e.p.i.c

You sick bastards !!
So many games, and when do you expect me to do something usefull ?

Shame on you  :pissed:

I do not like those type of games but it is good news to see fresh games coming to MorphOS which is a good sign than old 90s ports.

Good work Epic.

@dammy

I agree with you, if it was coming out for OS4 i think the guy would have a hardon.

[KennyR]

Or two. ;-)

Its not so much thats it just for mos, but rarther that AmigaOS has been ignored even in its current state.

Apparantly the Amiga user base is too small to support yet the mos beta base is even smaller !
and get these games.

Thesegames should still run fine under an Aos/Wos setup, maybe not all that fast.. but then thats the drive to upgrade later on when the other osses are complete. Knowing that AOS support will be added later would help matters.

[Palpatine]

This looks really really good! Congratulations, can't wait to play it!

Cheers,

Why shouldnt they ignore amigaOS4?? A OS that might earliest come out in very end of 2003 and that is being VERY optimistic. Personally i have lost totally faith that we will ever see os4 running on a AmigaONE....

Im sure they would have ported it for aos4 if the OS was completed.

[greenboy]

For me games are apps like ProStation Audio Titanium ;  } ...But mad props to Epic for going strong on the biz end, and the development. Good work!

I have just one thing to say:
AMIGA VERSION PLEASE!

Thank you for your attention. :-)

Kay : don't worry; I'm sure Epic will port it to OS4 when/if released. They just can't right now (it seems to need a 500mhz+ PC).
