James Rhodes of SeaScape Software, a North American software house that produced and sold commercial Amiga hard- and software as well as shareware and freeware titles until the early 90s and switched to the Mac platform when Commodore closed down, has announced to concentrate software development efforts on the Pegasos/MorphOS platform.
Below you will find the official information taken from their homepage which currently is being updated/reworked:
'As of today, SeaScape Software is going to be concentrating its development efforts on the new Pegasos computing platform running the MorphOS from Genesi. The MorphOS and Pegasos combination will allow us to develop quality software, and also help the MorphOS community grow larger with time.
"After doing a lot of research on this new platform, we decided that it would be in our best interest to develop software for this new computing platform that offers many advantages over other platforms. While the MorphOS is still relatively young, the software engineers at Genesi are making sure it is getting better with every release. On the hardware side, the Pegasos motherboard is improving in performance, thanks to the hard work of the hardware engineers. In the near future, Genesi will be releasing a motherboard with the PPC970 processor (G5), and we are looking forward to this very much. It is an exciting time indeed!" - James Rhodes
SeaScape Software sends Genesi our best wishes for the continued success of the exciting Pegasos platform and its beautiful MorphOS operating system. Get the alternative computer, the Pegasos platform!'

SeaScape Software to concentrate software development efforts on the Pegasos/MorphOS platform : Comment 39 of 45 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gary_c on 28-Sep-2004 23:31 GMT | In reply to Comment 34 (James Rhodes): Hello everyone!
I stopped programming for Mac OS X because frankly I am quite sick and tired of many Mac users and their constant whining about everything.
I hope that has hardened you for this market. ;-)
My main focus on programming anything in the future is going to be for MorphOS. No one is paying me to do this and I am not receiving anything for doing this, as this is of my own desire to help build the MorphOS community. Anything wrong with that? I didn't think so...
In contrast to the interfaction arguing here, the MorphOS community is pretty well-mannered, especially where incoming developers are concerned. :-)
I have a lot of great ideas for programs, including an educational line of software (mostly Mathematics) featuring two cartoon ferrets, Cubby and Pepper. I posted a picture on MorphOSZone... I certainly don't call that nothing... :-/ Some people just can never grow up... <sigh>
You have to realize that there have been so many companies and individuals showing up and making announcements and promises, that people have become cynical when things didn't materialize. It's good to announce your intentions, but keep in mind the history, and be prepared for some degree of skepticism until you actually have a shipping product.
I am kind of glad I decided against purchasing an AmigaOne motherboard, and deciding on a Pegasos II motherboard. Why? For one simple reason... The people there are much more respectful of one's efforts to help their community. Danke schön und gute Nacht!
That's a little surprising to me in view of how eager (desperate? ;-) ) AmigaOne users are for new developers and applications, but I guess you have your reasons. (I understand Amiga, Inc. made things difficult in the past and had an arrogant attitude, but don't know what the official support environment is like now.) But looking at the bright side, welcome to the Pegasos/MorphOS community, and good luck.
