While I was having a nice two day break, I came back to some super duper news for the Amiga! As looking through all the different homebrew forums, and I have found out that at some point in the near future, Juande3050 will be releasing his Alien Breed style Commodore Amiga AGA game of ‘Xenomorph’. A redpill developed game that came second during the Posadas 2025 competition. While the game isn’t out yet, AmigaFrance(link) was happy to provide the latest details and footage.
And here’s the latest. “XENOMORPH is heavily inspired by ALIEN BREED, although a darker, more tense setting was sought. The goal was to slow down the gameplay by being more careful when confronting the Aliens. The idea is that the ability to die easily will generate tension for the player, forcing them to slowly discover the map. Because the graphics are dark and low-contrast, it’s difficult to distinguish the Alien, so you have to be very careful not to get too close to one without realizing it. The music and ambient sound, with samples taken from the films, contribute to this tense atmosphere”.
“The goal of this development was to participate in the REDPILL game competition sponsored by AMIGAWAVE. Due to the limited time available for development, the game is quite short, has some bugs, and lacks optimization. Future optimizations and expansions of the levels are expected, thus offering a more complete and well-rounded game”.
