Already we've had so many Amiga game news stories, that at times I could hardly keep up! Games such as Cake Rush, Ghosts'n Goblins, Project Horizon, and Zippy Race, are just some of the ones I've featured already. Well the Amiga news just keeps on going. As I've been informed that 2Bit Combo, is not only still working on a mech platformer called 'Operation Steel Rain'. But the developer has announced with a demo 'Impact Armor Alpha'. A prequel to the main game made with Earok's Scorpion Engine.
Here's the latest. "Impact Armor Alpha is an old school mecha platform game from the snes, megadrive era, like Assault Suits Valken (Cybernator), Front Mission:Gun Hazard and Ranger-X. It's being developed for Amiga AGA computers using the excelent Scorpion Engine, which allow us to port it to other platforms like MegaDrive and NeoGeo later. This is just a demo to show of how the gameplay will be, and, in its current state it does not reflect, by any means, the final product, It's also buggy sometimes and, there's not even a complete level."
UPDATE : The creator has given the game a different name ( again ) and this time it's called 'Impact Armor Alpha'. Furthermore the game has been updated which includes working shields and an intro.

Got some ESWAT vibes, look's quite decent.
ReplyDeleteI'm the dev and I spent more than 5000 hours on Aseprite "srealing" these assets...
ReplyDeleteI deleted that post! People shouldn't accuse without proof :(
DeleteSorry for even answering that, Yes, of course I used a lot of references and took a lot of ideas from GunHazard, actually, I didn' have any experience on pixel art before I started working on this game and I learned replicating the same style...
DeleteI hope, given time I can have my own style, but for now I'm happy I can create anything and I'm proud of the results I got...
I have a post here comparing my stuff with other games by the way:

Oh yeah, and the explosions are from an asset pack I bought.
Hi, on my Amiga 1200 030/16mb fast, os 3.2 I recieve out of memory alert once game is about to start. So, launching it on shell, only title screen is showing (on game start out of memory again). Do you suggest a solution?
DeleteYour mechs are beautiful! I think your mech in the itch.io post looks better than the ones in Cybernator or Gun Hazard.
