Looks like an insane joyride

...can you port to the Amiga please?

Hey Damien, it is certainly great fun playing/testing, but which machine would it be ported to Classic or NG? Daniel Müßener did a sterling job on Tower57 port for NG Amiga's but I suspect it would need a lot of work from him to make it work well on NG's.

Our focus is for PC/Android/Nintendo Switch for the moment but once completed I could certainly see what it might look like on Classic and create a mockup. Bastich and I might consider though donating the assets to whoever might be interested

I was only joking about porting to the Amiga my friend

Looking awesome. I didn't read every post, but does this have a twin-stick control option. Either way.. I'm gonna buy it!!

Bastich · 11 January 2019, 19:49

Thanks MageMaster

The controls are fully configurable to any joypad / joystick provided it has enough buttons.

Current joypad controls:
Left stick - Left, Right, Up, Down
A - Primary fire
B - Secondary fire
X - Flip / Turn Around
Y - Buy Upgrade

Current keyboard controls:
WASD - Left, Right, Up, Down
Right shift - Primary fire
Return - Secondary fire
Right Control - Flip / Turn Around
Space - Buy Upgrade

If you fast double tap in the direction you are facing the ship turbos also

There will be a demo available when the Kickstarter launches which will have all 3 stages of level 1.

Thanks!

As we get closer to the Kickstarter (Kickoff in February), a little teaser, Digital Making of Book showing how we put the game together. One of the perks of the Kickstarter.

invent · 01 February 2019, 13:05

We are very excited to let everyone know that our IRIDIUM game is now LIVE on Kickstarter. I think you all know the 3 main team members Bastich, Akira, and myself, all big Amiga fans.

Our Kickstarter is here https://tinyurl.com/yb92z6jx .

After this game is completed I'm also hoping that Bastich will share some info into an unreleased game on the Amiga (that I'm keen on helping him complete - which I believe is almost complete)

DamienD · 01 February 2019, 13:09

Congratulations guys

Very happy to say we have made our initial funding goal. The Steam page is ready and waiting for release in October.

I've added and stung more cool features ATM. Still hoping to make the Switch stretch goal. There is a playable demo available from itch.io of anytime wants to try it out.

Here is our latest sneak peek showing the new destructible multi-part ships

I like the sprites. They remind me of the weapon sprites from Descent, the 3D shooter game from Interplay. Was the name inspired by Iridion II?

I've not played "Decent" in a long time, great game

Never played "Iridion" before thou, the name is a play on one of the games that inspired our game "Uridium".

invent · 27 February 2019, 13:44

I have updated other Amiga forums (Amigaworld, Amigans and Amiga.org) about our game. EAB is our main forum so its hard to know if the info gets out there.

I didn't mention on the other sites but at this moment in time I'm working on a special copper/effect level for the game, hope to post update soon.
