I am sure you could do an ST version technically - would it be exactly the same ? Probably not? I am not sure how some of the effects that are created with sprites and copper tricks would translate.
Will we do an ST port ? Maybe - but the goal is to finish the Amiga version first. And the modern platform releases would be the next priority after that. People are equally screaming for a Megadrive and AGA ports.
Btw the current platforms I have successfully ported Metro Siege to are:
- Amiga (System Takeover)
- Amiga (OS Friendly)
- Windows (Native and Steam)
- Mac
- Linux (x86 and RPI)
- iOS
- tvOS
- Xbox One
- HTML (webasm)
Some other platforms I have done partial ports, but ran out of time and didn't complete them or didn't have access to the hardware to test.
Note: It's unlikely all of the above will get a release
