The new homepage of Dreamworlds Development is online. Some parts are still missing but the old page is still accessible. The update of Crossfire II is released which offers some new features and fixes all known problems. Furthermore a demo version of Crossfire II is available at the download page or soon on Aminet. The demo version (11.7MB) contains:

- the tutorial and 2 missions from the campaign mode
- a restricted multiplayer mode
- no animations and music to keep the archive small

Just give it a try. :)

The update is available (4.7MB) here and contains:

- Alternative graphics functions that do not use ChunkyPPC. Solves problems when playing on Pegasos systems.
- Campaign mode texts available in German.
- Can be played in a Workbench window.
- When beginning a new pilot the tutorial can be skipped.
- The present weapon is marked with some light effect.
- New music score especially for mission 11.
- Many mission details changed.
- Solved weird colours when playing in 8Bit without screen fading.
- Crash in mission 26 solved.
- "File is not executable" solved.

Runs quiet nicely on the Peg.

If now only one would write a driver for my joypad ......

After realizing that control with a keyboard alone is a fast way to fail the
mission, I actually cheered when I managed to blow something other than my
own puny little ship up. This elated feeling was quickly overcast by the
sorrow of seeing my own ship spew forth sparks and smoke before making a
grisly fade to black...

Good game! Might be a tough level for a demo, but looks like it could be
loads of fun!

Well, you need dedicated support or a driver to use a real joypad on
classic amiga as well. Same goes for analog joysticks etc, you might
even need to build your own adapters, like for some of the old flight
sims.

Analog joystick support is built into AmigaOS. Look in the ROM Kernel
Manuals.

Well, that would have to be limited support, considering all the "hacks" that exists.

I just got some mails asking for how to switch weapons. Sorry, I forgot to mention that in the ReadMe.

The preconfigured way to switch weapons is by tipping back shortly at joysticks. You can change about anything in "options -> player options" menu. I for example play it solely at keyboard and having a seperate weapon switch key.

There will be a small update online at our website in about a hour. It solves the memory hits on Pegasos (querying the 4player adapter, no harmful problem) and it contains an extended ReadMe to explain the various ways of control and the rest of the options. Stay tuned.

Oh, and please pay attention to choose "ChunkyPPC fullscreen" in the Graphics system choices the first time you run the prefs program. The prechosen "AmigaOS fullscreen" option is somewhat slow and should be used only if nothing else helps.

Bye, Thomas

I see Amiga is back to destroy the competition with its games. LOL

@14: Yes, I'd like an englisch flag more, too. We'll change that later, I think.

@15: Piccasso 96 works, too.

My A1260ppc/mediator ran this game from the very first moment, the demo runs aswell!Good work, i love the game....now if only i had os4 for the a1... .)u dont need to send money (cash), u can use PAYPAL from the apc-tcp website (the publisher) .for all who dont know what this is , then check paypal.com .There is only 1 niggle with this game, and thats "thougness" later in the game, but then again that makes u try harder :)

very cool game. I ordered it.

GFX are great, but sadly only 320*200... Some filtering would help a
lot on hi-res monitors...

Keep up the great work ;)

You mean 320*240. ;) Yes, it does look pretty blocky on a 19" monitor, and
yes I suppose they could do a 640x480 mode with bilinear interpolation blah
blah blah, but honestly it doesn't really matter as much as all that when
you're flying around blowing stuff up....

In reply to Comment 18 (mahen):
320*240, sorry !

I use the amigaOS routines on pegasos, so no window mode right now.
However, playing in a tiny window is not that pleasant, and
fullscreen, even on a 17" monitor is hardly bearable ;)

I exaggerate, but a little optional filtering would be easy to do, for
higher end machines (peg/a1).

Anyways, that's a really good game.
