![]() Congratulations on the release. While I'm not sure it's really my sort of game, it's superb to see some original software being produced for the Amiga at last.
I hope it sells well for you, and that you will continue to create original and innovative games. Simon |

Thanks ![]() Quote: I hope it sells well for you, and that you will continue to create original and innovative games. I have plenty of ideas in store, both as regards other game and a possible sequel of BOH. But everything will depend on the success of this project: I tried to make it as good, professional and, at the same time, inexpensive as possible, now let us see if this gamble of mine turns out. saimo |

Quote: 576x240 - its higher resolution mode ?:( Yes and no. The game is 320x240. The other resolutions are there to allow playing on screen with ratios other than 4:3 without deformation due to stretching. The low resolution has been chosen on purpose because the game is meant to have a partially "retro" feeling: graphics are entirely hand-pixelled and their beauty can be appreciated only when pixels *are* visible (not to mention that it is not feasible to create hand-pixelled graphics at high resolutions). At the same time, the game utilizes "modern" techniques like real-time interpolated rotations and lighting (all at 24-bit). It is a mix a old and new under every aspect. Finally, as regards resolutions: the version on sale also allows to play in a window at 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x zoom; moreover, there will be an update that will allow zooming also for full-screen modes (and offer better overall fullscreen support). Before releasing the update, I will wait for feedback in order to make it even better for users. I hope this answers your concerns. saimo |

Indeed, yes: a few months ago I made a little survey to which most of the resellers kindly partecipated. It turned out that handling orders directly was the better solution to keep the cost down for the end-user. saimo |

![]() Hi all,
I just wanted to inform you that now the DOWNLOADS page of the website allows you to get hold of the PDF version of the user's manual (including the updated version relative to the upcoming update). Having a look at it is highly recommended to get a good idea of what the game offers ![]() edit: I have also added a screenshots page, which includes 3 new grabs (more will come later). saimo |

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is: version does not matter since both the AmigaOS 4 and the Windows versions are on the CD; that said, yes, some copies have already been sold ![]() saimo |

![]() Hi all,
I'd like to inform you that I have added a FAQ page to BOH's website where I collected all the questions, observations and answers scattered in the various threads here and elsewhere. The page turned out to contain plenty of interesting information about the present and also the future. Thanks to all those who contributed! saimo |
