3D Library for PiStorm-equipped Amigas

[Marcio D.]

There's a crowdfunding campaign that's aiming to deliver a 3D library for PiStorm systems equipped with Pi4 or Pi CM4:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/3d-for-pistorm


The campaign organizer is Steffen Haeuser, creator of the AmigaOS ports of Quake II and Heretic II.

The developer is Dennis Boon, who is very experienced with Amiga low-level hardware development.  100% of the net campaign funds will be going to Dennis, as compensation for his time and effort in the project.

The finished library will be made open-source.  This 3D hardware acceleration will bring a higher resolution, faster fps, and more stunning visuals to 3D gaming on PiStorm-equipped Amiga systems.


The campaign has surpassed its original modest funding goal, so the project is going ahead full steam.  There are a little over 50 backers so far, but fortunately the campaign is open for late pledges.  If this project piques your interest, even a contribution of $10 or $20 would be fantastic.  What's most important is to increase the number of backers to something closer to 100.  Doing so will motivate the organizer and developer to push through the challenges described on the campaign page.


If you've got any questions about the campaign, please email Steffen Haeuser directly at:  tirionareonwe@gmail.com
