I though it was AGA.

Why was the whole game rewritten into a new engine?

The original engine was extremely limited in what it could do, as examples it didn't have efficient scrolling, didn't have the ability to write scripts or animations without hard coding them.

It also means that we can offer any feature we add for AlarCity to users of the Scorpion engine.

This seams very positive to me. What is better to further develop, demonstrate, test the engine than making a full game for it.

Hi there, I ordered my copy at https://amiga.net.pl but I've noticed that the website has been down for more than a week... what happened to them?

Silverstreak · 14 January 2021, 18:19

I did the same. The website has become https://bitronic.pl

My account was still valid and the pre-order still stands.. so I guess... it's ok?

jurassicman · 14 January 2021, 18:44

Thanks for the info Silverstreak.
My old account is there as well with my orders history, etc... so I guess that it has simply been a move from a domain to a new one.
It is a bit unusual that they didn't make a "redirect" or something similar to inform the customers, though.

It is so far in the past I forgot my login credentials anyway.

NeoHippie2016 · 18 January 2021, 00:57

Back then I ordered the Gold Edition (CD & Disk Version)! Will it ever see the light of day?

apex · 21 January 2021, 00:17

Same here, paid 45€, I hope it will...

Tsak · 21 January 2021, 19:27

Amiga.net.pl has changed domain indeed and all the info (as well as all orders) are still intact, so no problems there. The issue is that we were tiped about this from an unrelated source, so we were unaware this was happening. We had to change links to our site after that. Hopefully everything is fine now.

Regarding Alarcity, all I can say is we are still here and still active. Recently the engine has recieved a ton of upgrades, so at least that's one piece of encouraging news. On the flip side I honestly cannot guarantee the game to be completed anytime soon. And while this is unfair to everyone kind enough to support us, it is (unfortunately) the inescapable truth. In this case we can only offer our cincere apologies and remind everyone that the option for a refund is open and available.

apex · 23 January 2021, 13:47

Thank you! I will wait...

NeoHippie2016 · 23 January 2021, 15:43

@tsak: i will wait, too!

jurassicman · 23 January 2021, 15:58

I will wait too... hopefully our trust will encourage you in finding the motivation you need to complete the game.

Tsak · 24 January 2021, 03:49

Thanks, we do appreciate this

I'm sorry to post here like this, but what the hell is going on with this game? I don't want my money back, but I would like you to give closure, it clearly isn't going anywhere.

it's been five years, the developer clearly lost interest in this project, after pivoting in so many directions so many times, which is understandable.

Earok is developing the Scorpion Engine to write AlarCity in. There is a thread about the Scorpion Engine here on EAB.

Bren McGuire · 01 July 2021, 14:44

sorry but alarcity was already written, maybe you werent there from day one.
actually, it seems, it has been written, like four times. this is a bit ridiculous all in all.
