Hey, thanks Mark!  And thanks for leaving a comment on my video. You did a great job and nothing to feel ashamed about. If you can imagine a modern game, with park benches and hotel furniture to eat, the game could so easily be on modern platforms, just by dragging a finger over the screen. People love collect and multiply games, like Katarami, so with that in mind I'd say it is a timeless classic and a masterpiece.  Probably just needed better scenery, like Hovver Bovver mixed with Command and Conquer, and you have a perfect battle/skirmish game.  Or virus vs anti-virus game. etc. etc.

I can't believe I found this page!

I also reviewed this game for the Lemon Amiga channel, and thought it was a great game.

Struggling to get this running without a guide. I tried to install a voodoo 3 card but it just goes to black screen after renaming CVision3D to Voodoo and rebooting.

That's Brilliant work, thanks!  70 people followed your link to my page from Amiga-news.de. ! :)

It seems that as this is an unofficial rally game, it may have ruffled a few feathers. Not that this channel likes to avoid being controversial, with topics like Cancer and soft drugs! So get this game while you can, I guess.

Yeah. Sadly it has been blocked by Red Bull on copyright grounds. I thought that if I used footage from 2016, and a Hyundai, that Red Bull would not have any copyright on this footage, but I guess Red Bull now owns WRC according to this block? I used low res youtube footage, which is available for everyone to see, so I can't see their issue with it. Let's hope they don't send a take down notice for my game!!!

Thanks a lot!, especially for not showing the ending. ;)

So happy there are fans out there.

I just love that music! :)

Thanks!!!
It is difficult to share the info. I made a post on LemonAmiga, and a small note on EAB.  A great write-up!  I wonder how many will finish it?

Thanks once again Sabreman. I'll drop you some more cash before X-mas. It would be great if you could also present my game Beat Cancer on your show too?  

Hey there. I just played your game, and it reminds me of my own game, Beat Cancer, on the Amiga. I hope you wont think I was ripping off your idea. My game is very basic compared to yours.

I've now released Beat Cancer V1.02. Please let me know all your comments. Maybe there are things I need to change?  Is the game too easy??

So the final size is 2.6MB on disk, but I havent put back all the libraries yet, so lets say 3MB. I would be struggling to fit this on to a disk even with packers. So I'm going with the .LHA and .HDF route for now. Launch will be this week at some point.

Ah, thats a shame. It was an incredible squeeze to put everything on the disk, and I had to delete almost all the unessential libraries. If you can install this somehow, and copy the libraries from my Holiday game, it should work.
In the meantime, I'm up to V0.9, so not long now. I'll release the game as a .HDF so I can fit everything on.

Hi everyone. Here is another game I am making - yes, I really caught the bug! I know CanDo is very basic, but it fits with my very limited programming skills.
The latest version is now here for you to test.  The game is 95% complete, but there are maybe a few fixes to make (if you guys spot any bugs, let me know) and of course maybe music and sound effects.
The V0.73 test is available as a HD ADF, so make sure to switch your emulator options to HD Floppy, and not DD floppy. The game itself could be compressed onto one floppy I guess. There is a HDD launcher on the disk. Just copy the contents over to your HDD and run it. You will find the game loads much faster!

-btw, you can't quit the Hitler (map?) scenario due to a bug.

Eye popping!

That's great. I've just uploaded V1.05b1 for you to try. This closes down the music if the game is quit from the titles, the game over screens or your room. It would take too long to add this to every room in the game manually. But hope this is a solution. I also changed my HDD script to run as you suggested.  The trailing '/' on the first line works, trust me.

Ok, I uploaded a launcher. Just copy the files to the MY folder where ever you installed this to the HDD. It should work with your setup. Can you test it for me?

I just added a HDD Launcher and 8 Colour icon. Just copy the contents of the HDDStart.lha to where ever you install the .LHA package, in the MY folder. This is the same folder as the executable is in. Then run the icon from there. See Dev Log for more info.

Hi there.  Thanks for showing those images. I guess I could make a HDD installer for it, but for now, look inside My folder for the Fonts folder. Copy all the fonts to your hard drive (e.g. CLI: Copy Fonts DH0:/Fonts ALL).  Or you could add the path of the new fonts (e.g. CLI: Path Dh0:Cando/My/Fonts Add). Then it should find the condensed60 font and also smallfont, and the game should look like my screenshots.  Glad it is working! :)

Guess it didn't work then??

Hi there.  Ok I copied all the files on my HDF to an LHA file, which you can now download. It's the 8MB V1.05b version, which should be fine with 10MB.  You will need to assign the directory for it to run. Go into CLI, and type:

Assign CanDo:  <destination> (e.g. Dh0:Games/Cando)

Or run AssignX to select this at run time.

**Don't forget - this needs Kickstart 3.0 or better**

Hi there. I dont know what happened to your Patreon, it seemed to just disappear?
Great to see you. Look out for V1.05b as soon as the Game Jam ends tomorrow.

Added a trailer

Hi there. I made 1.3C but the system wont let me upload it until after the Jam ends in 11 days. It contains a new title track, a working radio with two stations, and some text when players click on things. So it should be the final version.

Thanks for trying it out. :)

This game has been called Monkey Island in Benidorm.  ;)

Ok, I submitted my game Holiday to the jam.  It was made Using CanDo 3.0

It has a priate ship in it, and a bar selling pirate themed drinks. My game has been described as Monkey Island in Benidorm, so I hope it is suitable for judging.

Hi. Yeah I get that, just strange to see that combo. Is this game finished now? Let me know, and I'll put it on the LemonAmiga database.

Great Work. How come the castle contains all the graveyard ghouls, but the graveyard only contains bats? I would swap those over.

Hi from Lemon Amiga. :) Great to see this game in development. :)

Yes I tried Snoopdos on the game but couldn't seem to find an issue. It was working when I first installed it. The background menu image is loaded., and appears for just a traction of a second, and then the screen goes blank. Removing my saves didn't seem to make a difference.  It works fine with the EXE for the normal game, but as you say, with that version of the EXE, the menu items are in the wrong place. 

Yeah, discovered the Fun Park mode by accident last week when looking at some Wiki's for the game. Apparently these Jurassic Park levels are included in the normal game, but only the expansion version enabled players to access them.

Before I forget. When I load up the Covert Ops game (which is separate from the normal game install), my screen goes to black after the intro animation. The menu appears and then goes blank. I can still play the game by pressing Enter a few times, and this means the first level loads and I can then return to the menu. Its a strange bug.

Second, just wondering how I can activate 'funpark' mode. This is built in to the expansion game, and just needs to be activated.

Not sure if the final NOD expansion mission is possible without being able to force them to fire on target, with a key press, instead of moving closer to fire.

Just to say the game has now gone live on the Lemon Database. So it is now viewable by the public.  I'm now on the final NOD mission of the expansion, so almost done with it now.

Im on the final GDI mission now on the Expansion, and found a bug. The harvester still gets stuck in the refinery if you load up a save game during play (not from the menu), and randomly stops harvesting. But also the air strike button is also broken if you save the game with a 'ready' air strike. Here are my saves. The air strike is supposed to be working on both of these. If I load up the game from before I got the air strike, it works as normal, until the next time I save and then reload later.  Lastly, not sure of stealth tanks are actually invisible, as I went into a base and got blown up while invisible?

Thats ok, the PPC tag is just for these types of games which need a fast CPU. I cant change that, its not something I can toggle, and comes with these types of games. If there is never a PPC version, dont worry.

The new version works great. Almost finished the GDI missions.
Would it be possible to get the keys short-cuts working?  I can confirm X, H, G, and S work.

Not working keys:
CTRL+(1-9) Save group
1-9 - Select Group
ALT + (1-9) - Select Group and Centre on map
CTRL + left click - force attack on target
ALT + left click - force move
CTRL + F7-F9 - Save area
F7-F9 - go to saved area

Maybe this link works?  This page is not public as yet.

Ok, last message for today.

V1.0 works perfectly as long as I remember to switch on the frame limiter with F4. Perhaps it is better to have this open switched on as standard, and simply press F4 to unlock the frame limiter? Sorry for all the confusion.

Hi. I completed my tests and found it is the (V1.0) EXE from 15th May which makes the game run too quickly. I thought it was the conquer.ini, as game speed was set to 1 in the new ini, but zero in the old one, but it made no difference. So I went back to the V0.99. So will have a play with it this afternoon using 0.99.  :)

The database entry on Lemon will go online soon, we are just waiting for a few more games to add them, and then we can release a batch of 20 games together. Will be a few more weeks probably, but will let you know. ;)

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I only just noticed your message about the expansion.
Gave it a go today. I could get into the game but not select any difficulty. Maybe there is no difficulty for the expansions?
As you say, the FMVs come up with an error, but the missions seems to load fine.
For some reason today, I noticed my PPC setup is running twice as fast as it did before. I havent changed WinUAE or the setup in any way, so I dont know how this happened.   Apart from the title menus, everything else seems ok.
