Realtime classic: "Dungeon Keeper" ports for MorphOS, AmigaOS, and AROS
The open-source KeeperFX engine is a reimplementation of the real-time classic Dungeon Keeper. A few days ago, Yannick 'Papiosaur' Buchy released a MorphOS port that requires at least MorphOS 3.19.
Separately, Steffen Häuser is also working on a port: He's targetting AmigaOS 4, AmigaOS 3, and AROS.

Catch of the Day: The Spirit of the Amiga Lives On! 🦋💾
Hey Retro Fans!
Anyone who thinks the era of Commodore and the legendary AmigaOS is long gone hasn't reckoned with our FrogFind radar. Today we caught an exotic guest in the frog pond that proves: Legends never die, they just recompile!Our bouncer welcomed this fantastic entry:
Mozilla/5.0 (AROS x86_64; Odyssey Web Browser; rv:2.1) ...What we are looking at here is AROS (AROS Research Operating System). This is not an emulator, but a completely independent, open-source operating system that has recreated the APIs of the classic AmigaOS 3.1 from scratch—designed to run natively and lightning-fast on modern x86_64 PC processors! Booting AROS brings that unmistakable, lightweight Amiga feeling straight to a modern machine.
And what do you use to browse the web? The Odyssey Web Browser (OWB), of course, the absolute undisputed champion of "next-gen" Amiga-like systems (such as MorphOS, AmigaOS 4, and AROS). The fact that someone boots up their alternative, enthusiast operating system and deliberately navigates to FrogFind shows just how deeply rooted our search engine has become in the scene.
Cheers to the alternative operating system community! May your Guru Meditation always stay away.
Your FrogFind Team 🐸

As I'm primarily interested only about #amiga #nextgen news (AROS, Amibench, MorphOS, OS4.1) and not much about classic content and a lot of digging was necessary to find what I cared about, I built a small website where everyone can keep up with #amigang news.
So https://aminext.cc/ was born.
The website is still in early stage, and it will surely improve over time.
