Greetings enthused Amosites.
Geez! I didn't expect the response I recieved from the call I put out
about my Team project. Well, to answer a number of questions I have
recieved I thought I would put out answers to these questions to the
list so everyone can see them at once. Here we go..
First, to all those that wish to beta-test, I'm very greatful.
However, when my site's new look if finished and the new pages are
up, I'll probably put up a mail posting form on one of my pages where
you can sign up to be a beta-tester. I'll review all the requests I
recieve and post everyones name on another page regarding who is on
the beta-testing list. I'll also post the specifics on what your job
will be as far as the testing goes (what you have to do).
Okay, now for some answers to these questions:

Well, I do not own a CD32 pad, and I will tell you that the game for
now WILL not be CPC. I may make this change later. If someone (that
will be in the coding department) owns a CD32 pad and has a routine
that reads it in Amos, then I will incorporate it into the game.

Again, you'll have to wait for my pages for any detailed specifics on
my game, however, since not all of them will be up on them and you
probably can't wait, here's some:
Type of engine:
Undecided, although it will be texture mapping and probably some
enhanced raycasting (custom design) at the moment.
Minimum requirements:
512k Graphics and 512k Extra
Recommended setup:
1M Graphics and 1M Extra
with joystick and mouse
I have three Amigas, one is for programming and the other testing.
A2000 with 1M Graphics, 16M Extra, and an '040 25. ECS.
A3000 with 1M Graphics, 8M Extra and an '030 25. ECS.
A500 with 512K Graphics, 3M Extra, and a 68000. ECS.
I'm seriously considering investing in some AGA hardware (graphics
cards) and soon a new A4000 or A1200 (new or used). If someone would
care to give me a rattle on any information where I could find one of
the two (the card is fine for now, I need it worse, well, REALLY bad
for this type of programming) I hear the PicassoII or Cybergfx is
good, whatever you might recommend. I'll take a new or used in good
condition with any manuals. Thanks for any replys. It would help.
Someone told me that this project was amazing, and, yes it is. I
believe we can do it though. I got responses to this call on teaming
up from people on the list I had never heard of! Cool, eh? Well,
everyone keep in touch and keep the e-mail coming. I still have on
file the list of everyone that mailed me on what position they would
be interested in filling. Continue mailing until I get my pages up
