Menace OCS game - Researching colour palettes


Researching colour palettes for Amiga Shoot em ups :)
Menace seems to vary from 31 colours to 41 (or 50 if you include copper effects)






Above is a test showing 256 colours rather than 35 colours


Conversation continued over at EAB Forums :)

Game Concept - BoTrannis

Here is a concept for a game thats completely drawn with coloured pencils. 

 It's a simple game. You fly a little ship that shoots butterflies, collect the Jems, exit and advance to the next level. (The black lines are only for showing butterfly paths)

It would be nice to have it available on all platforms including Amiga. 

Firstly need to find a coder who is willing to develop it, having a possible Kickstarter might be a good incentive :) 





This one has been sitting idle on the drive for a while and was time to bring it out.

Update: Amstrad CPC version. Two test design concepts.Amstrad has a palette of 27 colours:
- Mode 0 can use 16
- Mode 1 can use 4 colours

Amiga PPaint - The Family Portrait



The Family Portrait.  For some of you, you probably don't remember the days of limited colour palettes on computers. Back in my day the most amazing computers were the Commodore Amiga computers. Back then you would say "Only Amiga makes it possible".  

Today PPaint 7.3 has been reborn on the Amiga, for Classic 68k or AmigaOS computers. I am very thankful for all the people who have made it possible (you know who you are) :)

Lunar Jetman - Spectrum remake

Hello :)

It's been as usually a very busy and lots of fun few months and this one is a remake of the classic ZX Spectrum game - Lunar Jetman.   It's in its final stages and soon to be release for PC (HD). Will post the link soon.





I realise that while this is not 100% Amiga related, I will donate all source graphics to anyone who wants to make it available on AmigaOS 4+, maybe even classic machines too.

Some new Amiga info will come about soon, possibly at Amiwest on other projects I have very busy on, no more teasers, but stay tuned to A-Eon or Amiwest websites over the next few weeks.

As always, Amiga always inspires :)
