Simple AGA first person engine [Prototype only]

Just a quick experiment with no current plans for actually doing anything useful with it (yet), I mainly wanted to see if I could get a simple pseudo 3D system running on AGA / 020 / No Fast Ram.

Features:

7-8 four colour enemies/obstacles (or 3-4 sixteen colour enemies/obstacles)
Floor detail objects
Flight
Up/down look
UI overlay
Fullscreen, 1x1 detail
50FPS solid without fastram or accelerators

Does not (yet) feature walls or ground texturing, which may be possible but would likely come with a severe performance hit on unaccelerated Amigas.

Controls:

Joystick to move
Z/X = Strafe
Q/A = Jetpack
W/S = Look up and down

AlarCity sub level?

Looks cool

Nice, what language are you using? Blitz?

Thanks guys!

@Steve, yep it's pure Blitz 2.1 - ASM optimisations may come at some point, particularly if I want to get some crude floor texturing working...

@Predseda Not sure just yet! In connection with AlarCity I was thinking something along the lines of an overworld/hub system connecting the levels.

Looking really good - needs to become a game...

hope optimization will improve things a bit, however, turning daydream mode on, i could envision that, if remade in assembly and using a 3x3 or 4x4 chunky matrix below something like this might come out:

Looks really good, and I hope you get to develop it into a game! Even a Starfox-type game, better than Guardian, would work on this kind of setup, maybe even Galaxy Force-type games.

Anyway, looking good
