    Still working on this project and now I can query the enemy states from my terminal & dialogue scripts!

    Right now I can query if the enemy is DEAD, HEALTHY, LOWLIFE or FROZEN.

    I'll write a detailed report about an hard limit I encountered adding new commands to my parser that causes the interpreter to throw false errors.

    I've been thinking for a while about how to implement a kind of simulated DOS, I'd like to let players mess around with crashed terminals, read hidden documents and do hacker stuff, maybe today I got a good idea on how to simulate all of this without blowing up AMOS Pro 😃
    For now it's all on paper, I'll do some tests but I really think it's feasible. :amiga: 😍

    There are many things in there, with a piece of the story unfolding 😀 :amiga:

    This short video shows the corridor that gives access to floor -4 areas.
    The two little enemies are part of the Institute's defense system, they are good at frying intruders 😁

  6. I'm evaluating to replace some time-critic AMOS routines with assembler, I've made a very simple test to check if it really works.
    Ok, it's just an RTS but I wanted to test it😃
    One part I'd like to replace is the calculation to check whether the player is within the enemy's detection range or not.

    I may gain some cycles to allow expanded A500 to run the game smoothly.

    ❌ Bad idea?
    ✅ Good idea?

    What's obvious to me isn't necessarily obvious to everyone, so I added a little helper to the menus. :amiga:

    Room 24
    Almost completed, I only need to create the dialogues and for the first time I will test the ability to show options that are only visible after the player has done something 😃
    When this is room will be completed I'll write the monthly round-up.
    In this room there is only a little mechanical enemy on a rail in the wall, but, well... you have to move... always!

    I'm currently working on room 23 dialogues but here is a short video of room 20.
    There are some baddies around trying to kill Kal.
    After some adjustments it worked fine also on the emulated A1200 (with cycle exact flags set).

    1. Worked on room 22 (the one in the image)
    2. Expanded the wait cmd in enemy brains to generate random wait time.
    3. In the image you can see 2 energy barriers, these things move up and down, if they detect the player they move down and stay down until you move away and let them go up, or they will stay down forever.
    Very hard to destroy if want to waste your precious bullets.
    Very lethal if you touch them unless you are equipped with 😛
