Software News

After more than two months of hard work, BOH gets yet another free update!
More specifically, this update:.....


* adds 17 new missions (5 very easy, 8 easy, 4 average);
* improves 43 missions by means of new/revised hints, little changes to the layouts, and other changes;
* marks training missions with a dedicated icon;
* adds the remote control icon to the HUD;
* adds graphics interpolation to enemy sprites;
* improves some graphics and shooting sound effects;
* adds specific sound effects to the theme "C64";
* renames some missions and most themes;
* reworks the manuals entirely;
* reworks the soundtrack artwork entirely;
* allows to run the game on Windows 10 as a normal user (due to changes in the Windows files handling policy, it had become necessary to run the game as administrator);
* fixes the resetting of the timer due to the focus loss auto-pause when the game was already paused;
* applies various other changes/optimizations.

Moreover, BOH has a <A href="https://retream.itch.io/boh" target="_blank">home on itch.io</A>.

IndieGameStand and AmiStore customers can download the updated version from the respective store (please note that it might take a while before the new version appears). All the other customers can download it from itch.io after getting their key from http://www.retream.com/BOH/get_key.php?code=<code> (where <code> is the personal copy code).

The update is performed by installing the new version over the old one using the supplied installer.


About BOH

BOH is a dungeon crawler where you need to solve puzzles, collect items, open passages, avoid traps, kill the Evil Masters and the creatures they generate endlessly, and eventually come out of the mazes in one piece. Keep cool, avoid the enemies as much as possible, focus on the labyrinths, and eventually you'll make it to the end. BOH, thanks to its unique aspect and gameplay, is an immersive experience that makes you feel as if you were actually lost in those treacherous dungeons.
You can play any (unlocked) mission any time, and you can also decide how they look and sound by choosing freely one of the several themes available...not to mention that, if you're the creative type, you can even create your own missions and themes!
The game looks and feels unlike anything else thanks to the combination of a strong 8/16 bit spirit with a few newer techniques. The end result is a fascinatingly different video gaming experience.

 Re: BOH update17 released
Thank you for the update and the long time support, Saimo!

It is been a long time since last I played BOH so I want to install it again (my A1-SE and my Debian system died some time ago).

But I don't know were to start. I have the original printed CD and the 5 Anniversary Edition iso, and all updates from 6 to 15 (seems I missed update 16).

If I start with 5AE, which update should follow? And is update 16 available still?

 Re: BOH update17 released
emeck, no worries: you can simply install this new version (it will update any previous version). If you want to preserve your previous records, just install this version over the previous installation ;) *** 5AE = update16 *** EDIT: for some reason the newlines in this comment don't work.

Thanks. I don't have an old installation so new install from 5AE then. But I do have a ".BOH-records.csv.autosave" file. Can I use it and where should I put it?

No need to do that, then: just install this new version.

That is not a file generated by BOH - it looks like you had stored them in a file of your own. If you want, I can send you the records you have submitted to the online standings.

Check your mailbox (I have used the email address you had written to me from in the past (and that you used for registering in order to submit your records).
It's been a bit of a pain as I don't have any automated tool to do this sort of retrieval.

@all

Due to a file overwrite, the installer that ended up in the AmigaOS package was not the latest version, and contained a bug that caused the update of the missions fail on some systems. The problem has been fixed and the package on itch.io has been updated.
You will also be informed when the AmiStore package is updated as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
