Wolfling (Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga & PC/Linux/MacOS)

fvUNAz6.png


Earlier this year, shortly after the launch of the Amiga versions of Powerglove and Tigerclaw, Matthias 'Lazycow' Bock released Wolfling for the Commodore 64, a conversion of his 2017 NesDev competition entry and possibly his most accomplished platform adventure to date. Featuring a shape-shifting werewolf protagonist, Wolfling is most notable for it's interesting mechanics; you can use rays of moonlight to transform from girl to wolf, with both characters controlling differently and having unique abilities and attacks. The game improves on the already high standard set by Lazycow's previous C64 games, with greater environmental variation and more developed story-telling, the only downside being it's relatively short length.

The more observant of you may have noticed that shortly after launch, the Wolfling itch.io page was updated with a new cover illustration. We've been keeping this pretty quiet, but that was actually commissioned by us after we reached an agreement with Matthias to team up together for a cartridge release of the game. Why the secrecy? Well, before making any announcement public, we needed to be in a position to actually confirm exactly *what* we were announcing...

Now at last, several months later, we're super proud to disclose that not only will Wolfling be getting a physical release, but it will be further expanded with two new levels, save-points, a mini-map, new graphics, parallax scrolling, new items (including a sword) and a power-dash for the Wolf! Oh, and the big news is that as with Matthias' other releases, this enhanced version of Wolfling will be available for the Commodore 64 *and* 1MB Commodore Amiga!

e3Is1mt.gif


We've still got quite a long road ahead of us before release; currently the two new levels are built but most of the rooms are placeholder graphics only, and of course for the Amiga version all the artwork will need to be redrawn. There's also the question of how it will be packaged; at the moment I'm considering using the same boxes as used for our Amiga releases, and having the same print material for all versions (like in the old days).

This not only simplifies things for the customer, with one product page with the option of which version you wish to buy (C64 cartridge, Amiga CD and floppy disk, or both, all in the same box), but also saves on production costs - meaning we can sell the game at an affordable price. In fact, with there being Windows, Linux and MacOS ports too, it makes more sense to include a glass-mastered, CD32 compatible CD containing *all versions* of the game even with the C64 cartridge, and have the manual in the format of a CD booklet inside the jewel case.

We'll be back with an update when further progress is made on the Amiga version, but in the meantime, check out the latest public release of the game (currently available for Commodore 64, NES, Windows, MacOS and Linux) over at Lazycow's itch.io page.

Make sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook or sign up to our mailing list so you don't miss out when the game is released!

Some nice gritty SID chip music in that game.

Just to add to this thread. There has been a trend of "new" games being included with aftermarket consoles, and Mini consoles with the SNES Classic and Genesis/ Mega Drive Mini.

Star Fox 2 (SNES Classic) :


Super Turrican: Directors Cut (Analogue Super NT) :


Ultracore (cancelled game that was originally developed by DICE) (Analogue Mega SG):



Darius (New port developed by M2. Not to be confused with an existing homebrew port on the Genesis/ MD) (Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis Mini):

JoshProd, PixelHeart, and RushOnGames were kind enough to reach out to me about some of the games they sell for the Sega Dreamcast, as well as a few new projects they have in development. I take a few DC games for a spin, and talk a little about their Kickstarter Arcade Racing Legends.

The Shadow Over Hawksmill is a Cthulhu based C64 horror, which will be using the Legend of Atlantis engine but with far more action.

This new beat'em up for the Amiga 500 is looking pretty good:




While the system got a decent port of Final Fight back in the day, I don't remember many other good beat'em ups.

Just the tiniest Streets of Rage vibe there...

Bro, this made me soo happy right now, seeing people going back to the old school game-style is wonderful.

And this make that more games can come by Indie Devs and new GameMakers.

And there're so many manuals and hintsto make your game on a "retro" style.

IIRC, the Megadrive and Amiga both shared the same processor, making ports fairly straightforward. I'd like to see how SoR could run on an Amiga.

Most of the systems had the Motorola 68000, the Atari ST, Amiga and Mega Drive I'm 90% sure of and I reckon the SNES did too. What differentiated them was the custom chips. That's what gave the Amiga superior 2D graphics for instance, despite the ST 68000 being clocked at 8mhz Vs the Amiga at 7mhz. It's the custom chips that make the porting harder, so the difficulty is less trivial than for porting between two pure 68000 machines.

Oh no, the SNES definitely had an entirely different (and slower) CPU. From wiki:

The CPU is a Ricoh 5A22, which is a modification of the WDC 65C816. It is a derivative of the 16-bit 65C816.
Click to expand...

There's no denying the 68000 was a ;egend of a CPU though (even the Neo Geo had one, albeit clocked much faster). Maybe they'll even do a Megadrive port of this game in the future.

I had an Amiga 500 and was often disappointed by the fact that my games didn't look as good as in the magazines (which used Amiga 600/1200 shots I guess). I remember Theme Park being a particularly egregious example.

I had an Atari ST so my games looked as bad in the flesh as in the mags. I thought the 500 and 600 were only different in RAM and the 600 being a later revision that was cheaper to manufacture, though I do recall there might have been some upgrade to the custom chips to add new graphics modes so what do I know...

I can't remember exactly the differences between each Amiga versions, only that I had the cheap one! I was flicking through an old C&VG mag a few days ago and noticed that they would often lump the different home computer versions together in one review (giving separate scores, but using only the screenshots from one versions - usually the best version). I had an ST too (or, I should say my older brother had one and I always snuck on to play it, as annoying younger brothers are wont to do). I have vague memories of playing on the Spectrum before that - talk about games looking bad!

I never had the pleasure of the spectrum but my first computer was pretty bad, the Amstrad CPC464. It was terrible and you had to wait 10 minutes for the game to load off tape, the loading screen appearing line by line. Still, it was shit but it put me on the path to being the nerd I am now and I have no regrets about that.

Here's another new Amiga game, Formula Fun, a Super Sprint/Super Off-Road style game that is being made with AMOS.







A port of Kung Fu Master to the Amiga, which should have come out in 1987.




And here are some screenshots of a nice looking new NES game called Malasombra.
