...from time to time, some thoughts need to get out...Farewell Patrick!
Author: Zeldin - written on 31.12.2014
Axis/Cascade is no more. We are all still shaken by the unexpected death of our friend and group mate Patrick aka Axis/Cascade. We wanted to express our sorrow, so I coded a little intro, which you can find in the C64 demo section of this page. The following text is a rough excerpt taken from the scroller:
Dear Patrick, may this be the condolence from the the group that was co-founded by you long time ago. We want to give you our last salute. I (Zeldin) know how much you were breathing the spirit of the scene. That's why I thought a goodbye demo would have made you happy. You and me exchanged lots of mails about how much we both enjoyed the good ol' days and of course: how much we miss them... It was this tie that emotionally connected us for over 15 years. Thanks for all your help in supporting the group and your indefatigable endeavour in spreading our name. Your tattoos were legendary! Thanks for your work on fb and youtube. Your channels were appreciated by a lot of people. Thanks for being such a good chap. You'll be sorely missed!!!
Mach's gut, Patrick... den Adler im Herzen, sge4ever!

17.05.2025 - Video: Echo Fighter WIP v0.006 - Amiga Game Development - A500 - Early test footage #6
More early test footage of a Shoot'em'up game that is in the making for Amiga OCS/ECS. New in this release: - A500 optimisations. - Added scaling "Wave" and "Get Ready" text to the start of the level. - Added some inertia to the ship movement. - Enemy patterns can now repeat until all enemies in the wave are destroyed before the next wave is started. - Levels can now be defined through data. - Synchronised palette changes so there shouldn't be any nasty screen tearing anymore when the background colours flash.

Get ready for an exciting platformer starring a brave mailman – El Cartero – on a mission to deliver letters to all corners of the world.

The game is available on floppy disk, packaged in a stylish custom envelope (our first attempt at custom floppy packaging!), as well as on cassette tape. You can also get a discounted bundle that includes both formats.
