Awesome! Thank you!

alpine9000 · 22 June 2016, 10:05

I wanted to say thank you to two EAB members that made this game possible.

@nobody - this game was his idea, he did the graphics, the game rules, the name, and he gave me someone to share ideas with throughout the development. Without @nobody this game definitely would never have been developed.

@saimon69 - did the music which I think in many ways is the soul of any game.

Thanks heaps for your help guys. I hope I will be able to convince you both to be able to work on a new game with me in the future!

Looks cool

very nice use of colors, it reminds me Nitrome flash games. I will try it soon!

PortuguesePilot · 22 June 2016, 17:50

Very nice! Thank you! Good to see people still doing 68k Assembler.

Keep them games coming, people! We'll keep on loving them!

You can already rate and comment Blocky Skies on its Lemon Amiga page.

Tsak · 22 June 2016, 22:20

Congratulations on your release and everyone involved! Very well done game!

hipoonios · 22 June 2016, 22:33

So this is the final version? I noticed the credits page says version 0.73. Shouldn't it say 1.0?

Locutus · 22 June 2016, 22:45

Thanks for the release. This is definitely the way to do it.

DamienD · 23 June 2016, 00:02

I am not sure yet. I have to do some tests to see which of my ideas are possible on Amiga.

The final version was always going to be 0.73.something

7 and 3 are have a special meaning in this game

Like for example if people did 7 left and 3 right at the menu screen ? *cough* secret level *cough*

nobody · 23 June 2016, 00:43

In the last weeks i wasnt active on the project because i had to format my pc and lost plenty artwork
Even like that I considered the game almost finished
Good now I must play it too :P

s2325 · 23 June 2016, 13:48

There is longplay on YouTube but maybe someone should play just for fun before watching.

The trailer is really professionally looking, and your web site is slick, simple and to the point, this is a great effort!

I have just gotten the ADF and will be transferring it to my 500+ in a few minutes.

alpine9000 · 27 June 2016, 09:10

Should I upload this to aminet ? I'm a bit out of the Amiga loop so unsure if that still something people do ?

Assuming people think it's worth doing, what do people recommend regarding the multiple versions ?

Upload 3 seperate versions (approx 150kb each)? or upload a single archive with all versions included (About 450kb)?

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
