Hi all, this update is overdue, but I have to post something smaller scale or I’ll keep putting things off until I can do some big long promo video again, and that might be a little way off. To elaborate, I really have to keep updating or I get inclined to keep things secret for …
Good tidings! 😁 I hope you’re all well and have a great holiday period, here’s a little look at the mountain stages.. I’ll probably be quiet on the game-making front until after new year but follow me over on Twitter at http://Twitter.com/mfdawes for general updates. Oh, and I set up a Facebook group specifically for …
Apologies for neglecting the blog. I should put something here! Here’s a look at the desert, in which I’ve used a some weird tricks to get the background working.. (excuse the reused enemies! Though there will be bugs, there’ll be a whole lot of other stuff besides..!) This little file below is what all of …
Another year, another Amiga Art Contest! (Thanks Doug and Vicky!) It was a big success so congrats to everyone who took part, and the winners. Again I used my EHB palette as a base, and I’m getting a little bit better at documenting my process too! I drew all three of these in PPaint using …
My other Amiga game in progress, Wizonk, is a 4 player platform deathmatch party game with single screen maps (think Bubble Bobble or Fuzzball) with frantic spell-casting gameplay. Supports 4 player adapters on real Amigas. Supports 4 controllers, or 2 controllers + 2 keyboard players in emulation. Runs on all 1MB Amigas (may require 1MB …
Creeping Me Out: Hex Night is an upcoming Amiga platform game deep in development, built in Scorpion Engine. It’s due hopefully in 2022-3, though I can’t be sure – with a physical edition from the fine folks at Bitmapsoft.co.uk – providing nothing disastrous happens! Visit CMO’s Itch.io page! 1.2 – Minor additions and bug fixes. …
A Visual Novel for Amiga, Mac and PC (and possibly mobile) with EHB graphics on Amiga. Created in Scorpion Engine on Amiga and Tyrannobuilder on modern formats. I’m leading development of this in Tyrannobuilder, which outputs HTML5 based game files. If I get proficient enough in Scorpion (and once it has saved game support) I …
CMO 4 Color Amiga Classic Patterns A range of 4 coloured workbench backdrops for Highres and Highres-Laced screen modes on classic Amigas. I may also do variants for odd resolutions if anyone wants them, but generally I figure anyone using widescreen or HighGFX probably has RTG and wouldn’t want to bother with 4 colour wallpapers? …
I’ve been working on my A1200 with a graphics tablet and have made a video on how to do this, a couple of the tablets that work, and some recommendations. During this process I’ve realised how hard it can be to hunt down all of the different drivers (some of which have never been on …
In 2020 I fully rediscovered the Amiga as a fun creativity platform, in large part to Youtubers like 10Marc and Pixel Vixen (thanks!). Seeing the 2019 art contest I thought.. “I should enter that!” which led me down a rabbit hole and resulted in me pimping out my old A1200, getting the OSSC and buying …
