`10.Jan.2024`	Babylon 5: Easter Egg in episode 22 of season 2? Luke Miller is an indie developer at Classyk Games and has not only developed the space game Liberation, but also seems to be interested in the science fiction genre in general: in a Mastodon post under the title link he probably found an Amiga-Easter-Egg in the 22nd episode of the second season of Babylon 5, where you can see an Amiga boing ball in a scene in the background.

`10.Jan.2024` David Brunet (ANF)	Obligement: Update of Amiga Games List The Amiga Games List, a document created and maintained by David Brunet since April 1991, was updated on January 8, 2024 with the publication of its 54th edition. Among other new features and corrections, games published or updated in 2023 have been added (194), and games created in HyperBook and PowerD are now accounted for. In addition, two new licences have been added: 'Hack' (which refers to games derived from other games or published illegally, for example without the consent of the original author), and "Sustainable Use License", a new open licence. In addition, where possible, the name of the publisher of public domain games (CAM, Spielekiste, itch.io...) has been added. The total now stands at 14258 entries, including games, level editors, data disks, extensions and interpreters, distributed as follows: 13521 games 432 extensions and data disks 154 game or level editors 151 interpreters For the record, the number of native AmigaOS 4 games has now passed the 1000 mark.

`09.Jan.2024` Patreon	Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine 2023.5 The "Scorpion Engine" (video of development of vertical scroll demos) by Erik 'earok' Hogan enables the development of games. The engine itself is not open source, but all included demos and demo games are. The editor itself runs on Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for level creation the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used. Changes of version 2023.5: Animation editor has been updated to make it much easier to trigger custom events on frames, including audio, shooting other actors, setting direction and speed - as well as the ability to have numerous melee collision boxes on every frame. "Intellibox" allows you to type in a number of code commands directly into the code tab. Dynamic Patterns allows levels on Mega Drive to have massive tilesets. Ability to freeze and unfreeze actors. Many bug fixes and performance enhancements. New game: Merry Xmas (dr) [News message: 09. Jan. 2024, 14:44] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`09.Jan.2024`	AmiFox: Download of itch.io archives Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's "AmiFox" displays modern web pages on an Amiga by downloading and displaying the pages converted into images by a web rendering proxy ("AmiFox server"). Besides Aminet, itch.io is one of the central sources for current Amiga software. Following our tip, the developer has now dealt with the problem that it is not possible to download software from there with currently available browsers under AmigaOS 3, and shows in a YouTube video a first possibility to do this via AmiFox.
