New Chris Huelsbeck Kickstarter - The Piano Collection
Just launched on crowdfunding web site Kickstarter is Chris Huelsbeck's latest project - The Piano Collection and Limited Edition Scorebook Kickstarter.
The campaign's goal is to raise $10,000, and if reached by the deadline of January 11th a piano compilation and sheet music book of Chris' most popular compositions will go into production.
The project's already at a whopping $24,000 - racing past that $10,000 goal, and with 42 days left for the campaign to run, things are looking very promising indeed!
Remainder Software's "Maxwell House"
I last reported on Remainder Software's follow-up to Downfall in August of last year, where I blogged that control, jumping and collision detection had been implemented, but very little else.
Things went very quiet on the development front until late October this year when the following update appeared on their Facebook page;
Installing a Gotek Drive in my A500
Over the past few months I've been reading much about Gotek drives, and that if flashed with a specific firmware, they can be used on classic Amiga systems.
My main Amiga's an A1200 tower, and while that's packed with games that can be run via WHDLOAD I have two issues - the first being that not all games will run on my current set-up, and the second ia that my A1200 tower is a desktop machine, meaning that if I fancy some gaming I've got to do it sat at my desk.
Pixelated Platformer "Boxx" Released
If you're a visitor to the English Amiga Board you'll have no doubt stumbled upon Cammy's excellent tutorial for the games creation system "Backbone". While the games created using the utility regularly receive stick for being resource hungry (running most Backbone authored titles on anything less than an 030 machine is pretty painful) it gives those with little or no programming ability a chance to create their own Amiga games.

ST to Amiga Conversion of Slap Fight in the Works
Originally released into the arcades by Taito way back in 1986, and subsequently across numerous home computer formats by Imagine Software in 1987, Slap Fight failed to receive an Amiga conversion.
A cracking shoot-em-up with some really neat power-ups, it's a real shame that Commodore's machine was denied a conversion of the game.
Tales of Gorluth - First Batch Sold Out
If you were planning to order a copy of the Zelda-like RPG, Tales of Gorluth, directly from the author, well, you're too late. Such was the demand for the CDROM only title that the author has sold all of his initial batch.
The good news is that Amiga Kit will be stocking the title, and it's now available to pre-order at the following link: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1200.
