If you remember playing Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion or Mickey Mania back in the day, especially on consoles such as the Sega Mega Drive, then you are going to love this news story that's just been sent to us by Saberman. As he has told us that DomKid, who is behind games such as the Castlevania fan game of Maria Renard's Revenge. Is working on the new game of 'Forest of Illusion' via the Scorpion Engine. As in his words "new game inspired by the Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion and Mickey Mania series, some improvements and additions to the Ansimuz graphic art"
While it is very early days for this game especially as it is in a beta state. from what we can see via the video above which was provided by DomKid. Forest of Illusion will feature not just amazing graphics, but Parallax backgrounds, cute and charming animations, multiple enemy types, and a real nod to those classic Sega Mickey games many of us still love to this day.... So watch this space!
The mickey sprite from Mania was a great choice 👌😎
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! A1200 only?
ReplyDeleteI can' t believe my eyes!! Incredibile art for the parallax backgrounds and great animations!! It Will be released for Aga only,i think...in that case,what about a reduced version for ocs? Keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteI presume AGA only but then you never know. But even a game like Rygar (which is excellent) was made AGA only. Not that OCS cannot handle it but its probably easier working with the more resources of AGA machines.
DeleteYou are right about that
DeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks for bringing back the anonymous commenting, I'm too shy browsing with a google profile!
Me too. Or am I the same Anon as you? Who knows? :O
DeleteI second this. People can adopt any name anyway.
DeleteDon't worry, I know for sure I am not you.
DeleteAbsolutely. I made a mistake of posting as "Mix" and now everyone knows that I'm a middle aged, slightly overweight accountant from Albuquerque allergic to pollen.
DeleteNot if you have a split personality, you don't ('you' just typed this)
DeleteAlso I have multiple personalities. But it is really me I swear.
DeleteLooks amazing, but there is no way Disney will allow this if it ever crosses their radar.
ReplyDeleteDisney already alerted its lawyers.
ReplyDeleteHas Scorpion Engine not been updated yet to do Full Screen Overscan? this is looking Great but a shame if its not ECS/64 colors EHB and Full Screen Overscan. Not a bad thing if it requires 3mb RAM minimum...these days no Amiga should exist that does not have at least 3mb RAM already.
ReplyDeleteI believe this to be a technical limitation of the Amiga; using full screen overscan with the maximum number of bitplanes along with scrolling and sprites leaves very little DMA time it can not be solved by more memory.
Delete"no Amiga should exist that does not have at least 3mb RAM"? You might find there's a whole lot out there that are certainly existing with under 3mb. :P
DeleteUm, you Should Check Our ElfMania, Ruff N Tumble on an ECS Amiga.... don't tell me Amiga can't do it. These games are both 64 colors EHB. Also check our LionHeart which has 128 colors on an ECS Amiga.
