The preview and excerpts of the Amiga Future issue 87 (November/December 2010) are online now.

Now that we are a mere week away from travel day to Amiwest, I thought it would be a good idea to post the most recent information we have to date, concerning the show.
The information comes from multiple webpages and from AW thread postings.

Beats of Rage is a freeware open source video game and moddable game engine made by Senile Team and inspired by Sega's classic Streets of Rage series. The term "moddable" means that the program allows users to create their own content, and thus their own beat-'em-up game, which is then called a "mod".

We are pleased to announce that the AmigaOne keyboard is now available in further language layouts.

We have added AmigaOne Keyboard (Belgium layout) today to compliment the range:

The magazine Obligement published today an interview with Olaf Barthel, the programmer, among others, of the terminal emulator Term and the TCP/IP stack Roadshow. He participated to the development of AmigaOS since the late 1990s.

For the month of October 2010 we will be supporting charity: water

It's a great cause and helps poor people get a vital resource to keep them alive and healthy.

Purchase any lower cost product from our Amiga Shop like a Competition Pro joystick for example and we donate $5 to charity: water.

Wehrheim, Germany September 26th 2010

After a long time of reorganization and reorientation, we are glad to introduce to you some innovations from Alinea Computer. In addition to some software updates we have some improvements in our online-shop.

I've just released a new version of ListDynDep which lists all the dynamic dependencies (shared objects) for a given binary. This is an extremely useful tool for diagnosing issues with Amiga shared objects.

Carl Sassenrath, Amiga guru and REBOL designer, will be in attendance at AmiWest 2010. In the works is a version of REBOL 3 running on the Sam440 that Carl has in his possession. Carl is always a welcome visitor to AmiWest and we find it very fitting that he will be there to help us celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Amiga Era.

Hugues "HunoPPC" Nouvel has just released Project Secret Maryo Chronicles, a remake of the already known Secret Maryo Chronicles.

This version only exists for AmigaOS 4.x since Huno has made many improvements to the original games, creating new sounds, musics and graphics.
