Excuse me, but it's not truth. Without any encoding Amiga supports up to three buttons. There are games which support this, e.g. Apano Sin. Also have in mind that CD32 joypad (and compatible) can be used with any Amiga, not only CD32.

Technically that's true, but other than mice and light pens very few devices used the "PotX" pin 5 for digital button input. This third button is also incompatible with CD32 pads, so if you plan to support both without lowlevel.library you have to manually switch between the two two types. Of course whether or not this is worth the effort is up to the developers

It's true that only few controllers can use third button, and CD32 joypad support have more sense. But it's not changing fact that two buttons is not maximum allowed on Amiga.

I wasn't aware of that, my bad. I'm relying on Joystick commands provided by Blitz Basic, which supports only two buttons. Most probably I can tap into some registers directly to get more functionality. In any case, the game doesn't seem to have scope for more than two buttons (Jump and Attack).

Hello guys...here a small bullet point update on the project.

-All the level now have collision.
-We are currently working on the world map for the games.
-The world map is 1280 pixel width and around 100 colors.
-The game world feature 4 distinct areas, 28 levels and 13 secret levels.
-I ve started working on artwork for the game ending, small cutscene roughly inspired by Akira Toriyama art style.

Once the map is done Colin promised me to finally integrate the transformation animation

and I guess after that we ll move on more enemy IA so we can populate all the levels.

that it for now...I guess Colin will post a video of the world map in the coming weeks...

Thank you
