I would love to do the game from scratch again, albeit it has changed design in my head a lot since I originally wrote and lost it all (apart form the original title screen) from 30 years ago. That memory is still somewhat painful to touch upon in my mind TBH.

Thank you all for voting so far. The poll closes June 1st'ish so plenty of time yet to see how it all pans out (or not of course).

I like the idea of fantastic Island for sure, would you happen to have any mock screens to show what either of the new titles "might" look like?

[Lord Aga]

I would like me some exotic island action, pretty please

I have a few ideas yes, but all mostly in my head as none of the games actually exist yet of course. The poll is mostly placeholders regards the new games to choose from at least.

The poll now states what type of new game each are and in the case of Wiz 2: The Lost Spells it's Wiz 1 with all new stuff in it

Fantastic Island was a platformer from 30 years ago I did and lost, but since then it's morphed into Pocky & Rocky (SNES) type thing and now into an Isometric jobby ...in my mind only currently.

Dungeonette: The New Adventure is in name only, mostly a brand new version of a smaller game I did on Speccy Next (and in fact Apple Watch when Apple Watch was originally launched). I plan to redesign all of that and the other games from scratch tho, so none would later appear like they may already exist on Google search now however

I think that covers it anyway

When I last checked the poll it was pretty close between this and the Dungeon game.

I will probably check the poll when it's over in June. I'm having DIY break to do some more house renovations between then and early September, and then I'll return to do some more stuff on Amiga based on what the poll results are

CyberPunks 2 was a loooong project so I need a rest once it's all shipped, done and dusted this month.

I think they could all happen, but would take some years to bring them all to Amiga

As my wife would say, Keeps me busy and off the streets

[acidbottle]

Pocky and Rocky is a neat game, think someone started a thread on here recently about a port of kiki kaikai to, so there is some demand for that kinda style. Isometric views are pretty tricky to, so would applaud a bash at that.

Think I know here my vote goes!

Answered !
Any of the 3 new games would be awesome and IMHO you should choose the title you will have more pleasure developing !
May I just state that there are already 2 (at least ?) nice rogue-like being developed for the Amiga
- Roguevania
- Rogue : Declan Zero


Take care & thanks so much for sharing your passion with us !

[Adrian Cummings]

Yes totally and I'll probably end up writing them all in the years ahead.

Currently tho, have some great ideas for all of them but will follow the order of the poll results.

All of them have something to offer tho.

Thanks,

Adrian

In truth, that's not what you reveal at the end of CyberPunks 2...

[Adrian Cummings]

This is true but the poll wasn't live then

I know this is just wishful thinking, but...a proper port of Tempest 2000 to Amiga lol

I'm not actually a port sorta guy personally. I prefer writing new games myself as I like the act of creation and design most.

Then a quick and dirty reskin would work wonders...you just have to be careful of Jeff Minter's wrath

Hahaha yes, I'd rather not. Jeff is a legend

[Adrian Cummings]

I ended the poll a few days early. Dungeonette - The New Adventure (Rogue/Dungeon Crawler) was the clear winner and very now most likely the next thing I will work on into 2024 onwards for Amiga.

I'll probably attack the other 2 after that in the years beyond perhaps.

Cheers

Looking forward to it
