Hi all,  I have extended Gothem for another month as I feel we should all give this one a go.  I am going to have a go tonight and post a score.  For a change, I am having a fairly relaxed easter long weekend!  :). I hope you all are as well.

General Amiga Game Discussions / Re: METRO SIEGE - 16-bit beat-em-up game for Amiga - Kickstarter campaign launched !
« Last post by Marcio D. on July 07, 2026, 04:10:39 am »
Great news:

The campaign ended on July 4, 2026 with the sixth stretch goal achieved, so the game will now include a fourth playable character to choose from.

The campaign organizer has enabled late pledges, allowing you to back the game for a reward if you missed out on the first round.  It's not too late to join the party!

A seventh stretch goal has been introduced.  If reached, the PC version of the game will allow 4 player simultaneous co-op gameplay!

Just a few days left in the campaign, but it's desperately struggling to reach its sixth and final stretch goal.

BitBeamCannon urgently needs more brave recruits to help fight the urban decay.  Are you game?

SNES and more / Finally found the right platform for my SNES homebrew games!
« Last post by SUPER-J11BIT on June 19, 2026, 03:50:17 am »
Hey everyone!
I finally found the right platform to release my SNES homebrew patches and games.
I used Canva before, but it was too slow and heavy for frequent updates. Now on Medium I can push new patches in real time, with release notes and instructions, simple and fast.

Website:

If you're into SNES homebrew, you're welcome! Feedback and testing are highly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I'm opening this topic to share an important decision regarding my SNES game development. From now on, I will no longer post weekly updates or scattered dev logs. My focus will be entirely on bringing these projects to completion, and I will only share results when each individual game is fully finished and concluded. I want to come back to you with a complete product, not a work in progress. See you at the finish line!

GOTHEM - Game Of THE Month / June 2026 - XP8
« Last post by NinjaKat on June 13, 2026, 08:12:39 am »
Game of the Month for June 2026, is XP8! - yes we had this back in 2022 but this is the AGS random selection - and I love this game, so we are doing it again!

XP8 is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up featuring raytraced graphics with many reflections.

Eight different weapons are on offer, which can be powered up to several stages, and are collected from tokens, sometimes in hidden sections. A simultaneous two-player mode is offered, which makes getting through the five levels (with passwords for each one) a little easier. The introduction takes the form of a few static screens.

Information:
  • Amiga Hardware: AGA
  • Release Year: 1996
  • Disks: 4
  • WHDLoad: Yes
  • Players: 1 or 2, simultaneous
  • Publisher: Effigy Software
  • Developer: Weathermine Software

Links to game information:

Please refer to the 'Game of the Month Rules and Participation' post for information on how to participate!  Good Luck!

* To qualify: Play single player, default settings, Normal difficulty, on a real Amiga or equivalent emulator.  Do not use keys, passwords or cheats.
