I have to admit, this is kind of what I wanted my apartment to look like back in the late 80s.

Nice setup! Good luck with your development efforts. Maybe you should consider hosting an annual Amiga show in there too.

It looks really nice. Best of luck with the development work!

I look forward to your games developments. I hope you find inspiration for some good games.

Color me impressed enough to come back from the great Amiga beyond and say I'm impressed.

That is a very cool setup you have there, something like what I would like to have, but more for digital art and animation than games and programming. I have been taking programming classes in college though; C, C++, and X86 assembly. I've wanted to do some app programming for Aros.

This is great work, excellent setup, wish you the best of luck.

I keep meaning to get back into game development on the Amiga, but it always finding the time to do it and then not wast my time on my PS3 or the Net, too many distraction!

Fixed that for you.

Sorry, couldn't resist since you snuck the the 'OT' flags in there. Both machines are great since they're Amiga's of course ;-)

Congratulation of what you've done here.
Really nice place to work!

I think you should ALSO target a more mainstream platform like iOS, Android or the upcoming WinMo 7.5 Mango. Revenue generated by those ports could easily keep up the hobby business up and running. There are several SDKs, like Cocos2D which you can use to develop.
One of the guys who founded TouchArcade is an ex-Amiga user that's still around here (forum). I'm pretty sure he would help you to promote some of the apps. Specially if you launch 2 separate versions: Classic Amiga and iOS at the same time...

Looks good Cammy! I am planning on putting an upgraded A600 in place at work for sysadmin etc just "cos I can" lol

[motrucker]

I too am impressed. Extremely nice looking workspace, and I like your goals.

Maybe it's just my hatred toward both Apple and Microsoft, but blech. I have separate qualms against Google, but they're fast approaching being on my "yeah screw you too." list, though you just can't really beat their search engine... sigh.

Problem with doing that would be sacrificing because of different control methods, generally speaking most types of games do not translate well to touch screens. My advice (and sounds like it might be like this anyhow) is to do it for Linux, Aros, AmigaOS. Then, perhaps down the line when there is a 4th Humble Indie Bundle, put the game in there! Not sure how much the total tally of all of them have been, but some serious money has been donated through that and the buyers get to choose which developers get the percentage of money.

The real question I guess is; are the games / software going to be commercial or 'for the love of the craft' and released for free (open or closed source)?

Also, that's an awesome office. I try to think of things that I should decorate my house with, and I think that Hellboy Poster is now on the list!

If you guys need some sort of Hosting, I might be able to arrange something with you. I have a decently fast connection, depending on how much you plan on using it (something like a Forum would be nothing). Though currently I need to work some things out with power issues, but that shouldn't be too much of a big deal. Let me know.

I've got App Game Kit on my Mac so once PortablE is ported to that, I could probably handle several ports. The catch is: Is Cammy willing that I port it?

Hosting may be an issue but I'll let Cammy talk to you about that.

I bet that's what Cammy's living room/study looks like anyway

I'm guessing that's also available for Linux and Windows? Looking forward to new games for the Amiga.

OKay, I currently have a 20mbps upload, so it should be okay for some forums, and lightweight web hosting.
