New game from Entwickler-X?

@thread

years ago, one of my passions was playing maelstrom on my macintosh, and it looks like a very similar game is coming to the amiga courtesy of our friends at entwickler-x! they just posted a sneak-peek on youtube:

Look like a modern version of the Amiga game Awesome by Reflections.

Nice !

... it is more like this:

Nice to see a new game in the works.

I have one small suggestion for the camera: it might look better if you simulate a human trying to track the space ship. What I mean is, have a slight delay between the space ship turning, accelerating or decelerating and the camera moving to catch up, like what you'd see if a human was filming. I can't find the demo video I saw this in, but here's a tutorial that explains the basic idea (amongst others). It really did make that example animation look more realistic.

Of course, if you want to recreate the look of older games, then you'd stick with the "space-ship always centred" style.

It looks like it'll be a fun game, either way.

Cool! I hope the gameplay is a little better than in M.A.C.E., where the difficulty is set too high to actually achieve results and enjoy the game.

I think I still have an AUI coverdisk somewhere with Transplant. I didn't didn't usually buy AUI so it was by complete chance that I got to play this little gem of a game.

Another nice game that uses the rotational effect is Seek and Destoy by Vision.
