That has a few links for different sites, not sure which one you want.

@Arcane5150

Wow, this game is pure magic, if someone ported it could be the greatest game available for Amiga. Maybe someone competent and representative could contact them about the Amiga version - admin@bit-blot.com ?

@SIID

do you really want it?

@kas1e

did you work on something? otherwise i can try to compile it. But avoid to waste time..

@Arcane5150

"Penumbra: Overture" is a pretty nice game and so are it's sequels too ("Black Plague" and "Requiem") although "Requiem" was somewhat disappointing story wise when compared to the first two. I got all three Penumbra games for just under 5 euro when they had some kind of promotion a while back and have already placed a pre-order for their next game ("Amnesia: The Dark Descent") which looks like it will be interesting too.

In case anyone is interested in porting it:
Penumbra: Overture source code

I'd try to port it myself if I wasn't having problems with my SAM440EP.

@afxgroup

Yes please port it!

@afxgroup
Yes, try it plz (i right now trying to fix some nastly bug with Gish, which imho related to minigl).

@afxgroup

Yes please try it, this game looks awesome !

@afxgroup

If I had X1000 I'd really want it. And I think sooner or later I'll buy the computer and having such a great game would be beautiful since this game has a typical Amiga feeling.

well, i've ported it. Or better.. i have an exe. But the data files in the open source version point to a data/ folder while in the demo version available on web site the game has a data.000 file.
So.. in which way i can try it?

@afxgroup

I think better make a first try with the demo version avail on the web page, then, if everything will be ok, make version for the full game (i can help with tests, provides the links on archives and alt).

But if there any problems, then of course better just make one exe which works with the full game. We all know where we got the close-data games :)

@kas1e

found the solution... stay tuned..

@afxgroup
Cool ! Pretty interesting to try this out :)

@kas1e
Would be nice to have a gamepack ready on os4dpot when x1000 arrives Please port more good games! I really appreciate it!

I would like to recommend porting DROD. It's one of the best turn-based logical games. Similiar to Gish and Aquaria, this one too is a comercial title with a free sources...

There's also DROD RPG also availbe for porting...

This game would be cool on os4 but we need java first. The guy is willing to port it himself or let smby else do it.

Remember sensibe soccer and kick off2? We need a soccergame.

What's nice about that is it uses a 3Dengine, so if you can port the HPL1 engine, tons of 3d games would be possible.

@Joeled

Maybe this can be ported first, while we wait for Java: Yoda Soccer, a new swos like soccer game.

@emeck

Yes really nice We also need a good footballmanager game!

@Kas1e
Is it possible?

Next one will probably be Lugaru. I've got it 99% working... except for the fact it crashes on exit, and the developers know about it (it's commented in the source as FIXME!!).

@MickJT
Looking good Thank you! I hope you can get the last problem fixed.
