ClickBoom

It seems that they are still in bussiness.. they remake their website including all amiga,mac,pc games.. maybe they could come back to amiga one day?

http://clickboom.com/

I have asked them several times and they said no.

Btw: here is another link:

http://clickboom.com/download.shtml

They have abandoned the Amiga platform a couple of years now.

@Dirk-B

Most of the links on that page are broken.

Capital Punishment and Myst patches are on Aminet, but the rest?

@Thematic

Hmm, yes they are broken now.

You can find demo's on "Amiga Future" here:

And upgrades on "Amiga Future" are here:

Now that alfkil has made a patch for Napalm it might be an idea for Amigakit to try and get a distribution deal worked out. They could give a cut of the profit to alfkil as a little reward the work he put in.

Bah, I wrote them several emails asking for permission to release my patch, no answer. This one is a dead fish...

do we know if the patch will enable you to play through the whole game?

i can have a chat with the owner of the IP/rights but first we need to know that the game is not introducing a new issues or whatever.

while we are talking about this, would it be possible to patch OnEscapee as well? , the developer is still active (Iphone/PC) and he is a poster on AW from time to time.

IMHO, talking to ClickBoom is premature, since Alfkill's Napalm patch is not finished (even if it is already a big achievement).

oki, so whats wrong and what is it missing?


@all

so is there any market for a NG amiga re-release of Napalm?
(as in, bundled with a new installer and the patches etc)

I also tried sooo many times over the years with little to no response sadly

Maybe someone can call/visit the guy:

if Alfkil thinks it's the right moment of course.

@Elwood

The problem is, that the game is (with regards to difficulty) uplayable because of some timing issue. And I might not be able to fix it (fixing system interface stuff is "easy" enough, because you have system calls to relate to in the disassembly, whereas the internals of the game are obscured and therefore hard to change).

On the other hand, if we could get our hands on the real source code, then it would be easier to fix the remaining issues. Who wants to make the call??

Exactly.

@Elwood

Well, I guess if noone else will volunteer, I might try and give him a call tomorrow. Please get back to me if you don't hear any news.

@retro
PXL Computers?

No, PXL Computers, was the parent company of ClickBoom.

I also believe that the game was developed by some other group, here in Europe, but I think they were polish. Still can't remember the name.

Cypron Studios?
