The quality of these titles is endless ...

Amazing.

A relevant question:

Why not an Atari STE version?

STE machine demonstrates that is capable of;
see Metal Slug port running at 50 fps using giant single blitter pass sprites / bobs.

All the needed resources and high performance sprite formats are public available; assembly coded with excellent C language interface. Most of the hard work is done,

Clearly this is a commercial quality game, 3 companies working; and more audience, means more public for the Patreon...

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

The proposition is a STE version, not ST.

Due to ST is very much limited, due to CPU only for all stuff.

Sorry I did read STe, but wrote ST in my reply by mistake.

You will see 3 levels only if I can beat the bosses

We are going to play multi-player online as well

How will the netcode work in this game? Since it is only a 2 player beat-em-up and not more, could be good to look at rollback netcode. It's mostly use for fighting games, but in the Fightcade emulator(uses rollback for its netcode), beat-em-up games also support rollback, although only 2 player at the moment.

Can't wait to play it myself! It looks like the game Final Fight could have been on the Amiga.

Another Amiga Metal head then?
