17.04.2022 - WIP Amiga game 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night' - Demo 1.1 released
'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night' is going to be an action platformer in the vein of Turrican & Castlevania, made in Scorpion Engine. this freshly released Demo 1.1 is a more polished version of the demo released a year ago. This is a short demo, with 20ish minutes of play time, more if you look for secrets. It has a few levels, a couple of bosses, some bonus stage content, really just a taster for the final game. This demo is again, of the "high spec" build so has slightly odd requirements for an Amiga game. (2MBChip, 1MBFast, probably an 020+) - watch this space for information about lower spec builds in future.
