Demos from Encore was very nice (By Night & Sulaco for example). Glad to see that they alive, and make some prods :) Hope to try that game soon.

I hope I will be able to show it and play it on AmiParty #9, 22 May.

Looks quite good, overall. I especially like the subtle 3D camera rotations that add a certain depth to the game world.

Well done.

Very nice indeed.

That is indeed impressive. I want to play it

Very nice

I like it!

That's an odd mix of platforms it's targeted at - how did MorphOS get a look in? And what was involved in bringing it to MorphOS?

how did MorphOS get a look in?

The main Fortis coder, Mariusz "MDW" Włodarczyk, is a MorphOS user and known Amiga scene coder. See demos he programmed a few years ago: Sulaco and By Night. Both run on MorphOS. What is interesting, Fortis engine (as the programmer says) has been written on MorphOS mainly, and then ported to iPhoneOS and Windows.

What a nice looking surprise! Pity their home page rejects me now, but the videp is impressive. Such as seeing a MorphOS Team member saying he wants to play it!

Great job guys!

The game looks pretty nice, but based on the trailer the gameplay itself doesn't seem very exciting. But then again, it's just a preview, so I assume a lot of things will still change :)

Great looking game. I am looking forward to get my hands on it.

Hopefully the keyboard controls can be adjusted, so I can put it in here using the Efika:

very wonderfull!!! i enjoy the encore demos on my A1200 PPC and now on my efika :) encore is one of my favorite groups and this game is fantastic :) +10 points

looking absolutely great! cant wait to play it.

but will it support dual-analog gamepads (ps2/xbox style)? it a must have option for a game of this kind. its playable with keys+mouse but no fun at all (unless you reienvented the method of controls:)

(i dont know if morphos itself supports dual-analog pads, i hope it does)

Uhm, Asteroid on steroids... looks like it might be funny. Count me in for the final release!

Kind regards,
Andrea

Reminds me a bit of Crossfire II... love that game... I think I'll love this one too!! Great Job guys!!!

The game looks really nice!

How about making backgrounds more "part of the game", like you having to shoot certain parts, or even having huge end-of-level boss, where boss is the background?

Anyways, looks great this far!

Quite impressive and polished. Only thing I'd like to see after having seen the demo is more "interaction" between the ship and powerups, they seemed rather oblivious to the fact that the ship collided with them.

I like it!

Great! But the Fortis isn't big game. It is just simple casual game.


That's an odd mix of platforms it's targeted at - how did MorphOS get a look in? And what was involved in bringing it to MorphOS?

I created engine and code of the Fortis. The MorphOS version has been created for fun and satisfaction. I use Pegasos with MorphOS every day. Initially I planned another game and the engine was made only for MorphOS. However plans has been changed and we decided to make main version for iPhoneOS. But I wanted to finish MorphOS. The version helped me to discover several bugs in Fortis. :) In future I am going to make all our games for MorphOS too. Of course if it will be possible. Unfortunately next game won't work on desktop computers (so MorphOS too) because the game requirements touch screen with multitouch. However third game will be works well on desktop computers. :)

In last days we have finished keyboard controlling in Fortis. So... maybe the strange game-machine will be able to steering the Fortis.

Unfortunately we didn't make interaction with background. I would be able to make it because backgrounds are 3D graphics rendered in realtime. However we wanted to make simple casual game. We don't plan develop the Frotis. Now we are very busy because our next project requires a lot of work/time. It is better way than developing of the Fortis. :)

Looks cool to me!
When will it be released for morphos?

When will it be released for morphos?

The Fortis for MorphOS has been already finished. We are preparing the game for test on: Efika, MacMini, MrophOS 1.4.5. I use only Pegasos 2 with MorphOS 2.4 so I should make these tests. We are planning release Fortis for MorphOS in the May 2010.

great work! nice to see old demoboys pop up again!

loooking excellent !!! I will buy this at once i can !!!

Ahh rock on guys you rule !!

Just wanted to point out that it's not a small amount of work to make the game run on both (old) desktop OpenGL (tinygl) and OpenGL ES, especially if using ES2.

Slightly offtopic, but what about N900 version aswell?

FORTIS for iPhone and iPod touch has been approved for sale on the AppStore. The game is available on AppStore
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fortis/id373158239?mt=8
We can't decrease THE LOWEST PRICE ($0.99 or 0.79eur).
FORTIS for MorphOS probably will be released in the May of 2010. :)

It isn't very hard because MorphOS GL (TinyGL) is really quite good. I used OpenGL ES 1.x because I wanted to make version for older iPhone/iPod too.

N900 has no multitouch but has keyboard so it would be possible. Unfortunately we have no time for other platforms. :( Our micro-engine is ported only for MorphOS, Windows and iPhoneOS. First of all we make versions for MorphOS, iPhoneOS and Windows (the last version has low priority).

@MDW

bought for Iphone 3G, thanks It's a very good game ! :)

[ Edited by Divinity On 2010/5/27 0:24 ]

Thank you very much! Buying the version for iPhone you support the version for MorphOS. Many elements of the Fortis code was created on MorphOS. :)

After releasing MorphOS version each owner iPhone/iPod/iPad version will get micro-bonus.

Could you write a comment on your AppStore if you liked the Fortis game? :) Of course positive or negative - depends on your opinion.

Just one day left till end of may ...

Just one day left till end of may ...

...and we're removing the last bug. I hope the last. :)

Unfortunately the first version of the Fortis won't be tested on MorphOS 1.4.5. Only MorphOS 2.4 (Efika, MiniMac and Pegasos2/G4).

[ Edited by MDW On 2010/5/30 22:26 ]

@MDW

go, go, go!

;)

Today is 1st of June 2010. I know. Unfortunately MorphOS version has a small delay. I think several days. The MorphOS version will contain first bugfixes.

Thanks for the update - could it be that software really is art and it's never really finished?

MDW has added some nice features compared to first version i've betatested so "two more weeks" should give better playabity

@MDW

thanks to you, the game is fantastic in IPhone, yes I'll send a very positive comment in AppStore
Thanks also for micro-bonus in MorphOS version.

regards

Can't wait to buy the MorphOS version.

Status update.
Unfortunately MorphOS version has one hard bug (problem during changing language). :( I am working but it isn't easy...

Hope you find the bug soooon !!! ;)

Hope you find the bug soooon !!! ;)

The bug (and next one bug) has already found and fixed. We are testing the game still.

I am sorry for the delay. I've wanted to publish Fortis without known bugs and new features. :)

Thats great, better to wait some time to get it perfect... ;)

Or you could just leap into the unknown like Eskil Steenberg did with Love.
