My New Patreon now Live

Hello and thankyou for visiting my AMIGAoneX Blog.

For sometime (at least a year) I have thought about creating a Patreon site and have now decided to do a soft launch. If you can't support my Patreon please consider promoting it somewhere online (eg Facebook, twitter, Amiga forums).

I am very open to refining the structure of the Patreon and if your a Gold member you will be able to influence what I do for the Amiga Scene. Thanks again for visiting and now back to creating some teaser pixel work.

DV Player - AmigaOS 4

I haven't posted for a while as I focus as much free time as possible to "Iridium" game.  While digging through my graphic archives I come across concepts.  Here for example is an old (2014) concept for a DV Player for the AmigaOS.  Always liked the CDTV interface and that is the inspiration for it.

These days, I'd probably rework the interface and simplify it further. 

ProXima3 - August 2018 update

Work continues on ProXima3.

A quick composite of some of the work, foreground, big bosses, enemy sprites.

Iridium - Update May 2018

Iridium is moving forward rather well. James has been very busy coding and constantly refining every element of the game engine.  Graphics in this video shows temporary assets that will be updated soon. Akira continues to pump out amazing tracks (and I find myself listening  more than playing the game sometimes :))

Our small Kickstarter will be coming soon, Developed for Windows (PC) and if we can reach our stretch goals then Android and Nintendo Switch will be possible also :)

ProXima 3 - Update May 2018

ProXima 3 - "Dark Tomb" Level tiles.

Creating games takes a long time :) (especially if your working on 4 at once)

I will try to tease out a few more game assets to share as time goes by.  Below is selection of graphics for the level "Dark Tomb".  You will notice that the foreground tiles are mostly symmetrical, This will change overtime. 

The colour palette "bottom left" is almost finalised (16 colours). 

Brilliance 3

Brilliance 3.  Remember all those great art programs on the Amiga. Besides Dpaint, Brilliance is still an amazing program.  

These days it would be nice to see such software modernised.

This project not only updates Brilliance but adds a few other needed features such as layers and map editing tools.

Once all the graphics are created, it will be time to create the manual :)

I must add this is purely just concept images for the interface and as yet we have no coder, so if anyone knows someone please let me know.  At this stage any platform would be great.

Mig n Ziggy - Hang in There

One of the projects I'm super keen on getting back into is "Mig n Ziggy"

The last pixel play was during this destroyed wall, yes a nasty enemy comes out of it.

While "Reshoot R, Iridium and ProXima 3" are my focus, i am looking forward to getting back into this very low spec "Amiga A1000" compatible game.

Miss you Mig, hang in there.

Iridium - Working on texturemaps - Desert

Iridium has not lost any love in development.  Some test concepts here and a quick sample of some of the assets.  The cracked desert textures still needs refining and will be transparent layers on top of the sand texture. 

I have a few tricks up my sleeve to achieve the seamless texture but its going to take some time :)

Iridium out of all projects i am involved in certainly will be the most time consuming and we hope to one day have this posted on a kickstarter or similar site, early days.

Reshoot R - Update - New weapon

Richard has been busy implementing lots of new features into Reshoot R.  Besides this new weapon he has rewritten the sprite engine that now allows for a lot more particles and effects.  See his post on his Patreon site for more technical details.
