Oh, thank you! Don't apologise, nobody was aware of them, lol. It was more of a thing in that mid-2000s period when everybody and their dog had a webcomic, and it was often bordering on terrible, haha. I was worried people might have a problem with the shared setting, but these characters live in my head.. (they still occupy a lot of my art output too) The comic spent very long periods being dormant and it veers into weird experimental places later when I got bored - much of it needs significant reworking.. Anyhow, I'm rambling! Thanks for the support.

I’ve never played Cadash, looking it up, wow that looks pretty pioneering! I like! There are certainly some mechanical similarities in this game, but this will be very light on the RPG-like elements.. There is one big feature of cadash that CMO also hopefully shares that I won’t talk about until it’s implemented as it’s slightly likely to end up cut. in terms of setting I’d definitely like to one day make a swords and sorcery thing too. Maximum nostalgia!

Thanks! That’ll come eventually, for sure. So many configurations I'd be curious as to real world performance.

Looking good and I think it's fine for you to target which ever system you want! It's great when things work on A500s but doesn't mean everything has to.

Looking forward to seeing this in action.

Definitely dig the visual style. I look forward to seeing where this is going

Thanks! I really most need it to run nicely on the only Amiga I have to hand, haha. I hope to have a nice video ready over the weekend, but right now I only have a couple of enemy types so it seems *very* sparse!

I won’t use inline images as they’re multiple MB each, here are some gifs I made for sharing to social media. They’re a bit jerkier than it is in practice so video will be better.

A little of how combat works at the start of the game: http://mixelmagic.com/Amiga/EAB/Gotmoves.gif

Clearing blocks.. (I may have borrowed this mechanic from turrican, haha) http://mixelmagic.com/Amiga/EAB/clearblocks.gif

Is there some way to embed video here? edit: (oh yes! it does it automatically, sweet!)

[ Show youtube player ] - I made a quick video showing some things working.

Looks really good and smooth! Now looking forward to this even more.
