SkillGrid - new AGA game in the works

@328gts

I've been refining the inlay further, so I haven't started that yet :p


@all

One more little gift: this medley will let you enjoy the music that will rock your Amigas!

The first draft of the manual is done! Now it's only a matter of fixing the errors (if any) and changing a name...

The manual will consist in a 16 pages jewel case booklet, as the game CD will come in a jewel case inside a gorgeous clamshell box.

For the joy of all the AmigaCD³² consoles out there, here's the initial design of the CD:

Actually, the CD contains also the ADF images of the floppies and a pre-installed copy of the game for A1200s and A4000s ;)

The design of the floppy labels has been kept intentionally simple. It might still change, but probably won't be much different from what shown in this mockup.

@saimo

simple looks great!

@nubechecorre @328gts

Thanks :)


@all

The CD jewel case tray inlay is now done, too.

@saimo

looks awesome and think I'm gonna print that out for my mancave wall

@328gts

Wait, the resolution of that picture way too low for a decent print. Also, being just the back of a jewel case, it isn't actually suitable.


@all

Just a quick note to let you know that I've started posting the pages from the manual so that you can learn the game details even before it hits the shelves. Every day I'll post a new page on the Facebook, Twitter, Patreon, and itch.io pages of RETREAM - if you're curious, just head over there (they're all publicly accessible, even without account) ;)

Here's a massive gameplay video that will let you see what you have read in the manual - and it shouldn't be too long until you can also experience it ;)

Don't think the game is crazy: you haven't played it yet to fully appreciate its madness ;)

Yesterday RGCD received the CDs, so now all that's missing to complete the deluxe package is the floppies - and that's already being taken care of ;)

My pleasure :)

No, sorry, one of the things that drives me is precisely the fun of programming the original chipset. The rest is boring :p

@saimo

It's sad what you write.
A native version for AmigaOne / AmigaOS4.1 is needed and I will be happy to pay for it.

@amig_os

I make games first and foremost for fun, and porting is boring. Not to mention that coding for "modern" systems is boring. In the past, I made other games for AmigaOS 4 (BOH, Huenison, and KOG), but that's nowhere as fun as making games for classic machines. Also, it was way too long since I had done something for classic Amigas, so now I'm focused only on that (and on the C64, for which I have also published some games and I'm making a new one).
That said, you should be able to run SkillGrid on your AmigaOS 4 system using UAE - I haven't tried myself, but I'm pretty sure that my A1 XE G4 would handle it decently ;)
