Amiga developer Daytona675x has released a new work-in-progress video showcasing an impressive "bullet hell" shooter running smoothly on a stock Amiga 1200 computer. The technical demonstration reveals a simultaneous two-player mode capable of handling hundreds of on-screen projectiles at a crisp 304 x 256 resolution running at PAL 50 Hz. Behind the scenes, the development utilizes Frank Wille’s music player and Bartman^Abyss’s VSCode development system, backed by an active team consisting of audio designer Triace, graphic artists Matt Walkden, Pieterator, Crome, and Tom, alongside a dedicated playtesting crew.
This eleventh development update highlights significant progress, including extensive bug fixes, performance optimizations, and general gameplay improvements powered by advanced IRQ-based blitting. In terms of content, the game's first level is now mostly complete, while levels two and three are roughly halfway through development. The project continues to push the boundaries of Amiga hardware, promising a high-octane experience for the classic Amiga community as production moves forward.
Technically we're on another level with this game... which looks and play amazingly at 50Hz!
ReplyDeleteA pure gem IMHO. Let's cross fingers! 👍🏻
Holy smokes Batman! This really looks crazy good!
ReplyDeleteThis will probably be the best space shooter for Amiga ever! Looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteNice game, I hope we will have a CD32 release with box and pressed disc.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Is there any way to try out a demo?
ReplyDeleteNope or I'd be all over it :D
DeleteIMPRESSIVE for an unaccelerated Amiga 1200!
ReplyDeletethis game looks amazing. I can't wait for it. I think as far as actual bullet hell, Mega Typhoon is the only other game I can think of.
ReplyDeleteAmazing... bring it on.
