This from the developer Simone:

Ferrazzano, Italy - November 21, 2016


BOH GETS THE 17TH UPDATE AND FINDS A NEW HOME

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 new home now: it's available on itch.io at https://retream.itch.io/boh.

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.
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. 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.

I moved back to Italy, and from here I can't sell the game directly, so I had to use itch.io. It was/is a pain for me as well.

thanks for another update to a terrific game!

@amigakit

thanks for getting the update available tonight. i actually bought both BOH and huenison twice -- once via saimo's online options at the time, and again once they were available on amistore -- so i could ensure i have access to updates to his games. they're among the best in terms of gameplay and originality on any platform, and one of the reasons i love my amiga NG so much.

I never bought BOH from AMIStore, so I don't see how that will help

Maybe I've found the problem. It looks like a change got accidentally lost (technical details: the installer prepares the file T:BOH-UpdatePhase, but then it uses the file AmigaOS/UpdatePhase in the archive/ISO, failing if the unpacker/mounter did not preserve the e bit - which doesn't happen on my machine).
I'm waiting for 328gts to report the results of the new test.

If that's the problem, in the meanwhile, users can use this workaround:
1. copy the contents of the archive/ISO to RAM:;
2. Protect RAM:BOH/AmigaOS/UpdatePhase rwed;
3. run the installer.

What's that personal code ? I tried the one in the CD cover but that wasn't accepted.

yup that's the only code you need. For me it didn't work the first time because I mistook an O for a zero

@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.

Indeed, that's still to be updated. I will do that ASAP. In the meanwhile, you can update the game by means of the AmigaOS package (the change is relavant only to AmigaOS).

The ISO is updated now. I'm re-uploading also the .lha archive, as the previous one had a old icon left over (as an added bonus, this new package includes new icons, and the possibility of choosing the size).
