I think A1200 with 2meg fast will be heaps of speed and space.

Yeah that sounds like a terrifiic idea. I'd love to explore it. Most of what I've done so far is in the mock-up, although I also have some unused cycles for the main sprite:
* Run cycle
* Split legs/arms to do a shoot-while-walking/running (all the sprites are on layers anyway).
I want to make the explosions a lot bigger too, shrapnel flying across the screen like when you nuke all Lemmings.

Hope you will find some expirienced coder to help you. |
Thanks, me too!

I presume you both will be doing game design, but are you going to be doing any of the coding or just the art/animation? I would suggest the coder chooses the primary platform for development as they will be doing the work of getting the game working on all platforms. The art and animation can be done on the Amiga not matter what the dev platforms are.

I won't be coding. Yes, I think you're right about the coder choosing the platform, but my motivation for the project is seeing it on Amiga, so it's in my interest to research as many good options as possible for Amiga a cross-platform development for the coder to choose from.
Worst case we write in C, compile it for 68k such that only a Vampire/060 can brute-force it all through CPU to run properly, but I'm hoping we can do better than that (as mentioned above, hopefully A1200 with fast).
