Indie Retro News: I-Gunnar - Paulthetall is working on a Dune 2 inspiration for Apollo V2/V4 Amiga's

Yes, AI, don’t blame me!

I-Gunnar, a newly announced game by paulthetall, is a real-time strategy demo built exclusively for advanced Commodore Amiga hardware. This Dune 2 inspiration serves as a direct tribute to Gunnar von Boehn and his team at Apollo Computer for their dedicated efforts in revitalizing the classic Amiga ecosystem through cutting-edge hardware upgrades and the architectural design of the high-performance 68080 CPU. Originally conceived as a hobby project, I-Gunnar is programmed using the open-source code from Arrakis, a well-known fan clone of the iconic real-time strategy classic Dune 2. Rather than simply porting the code however, paulthetall adapted the framework to center the game’s primary character around Gunnar himself, acknowledging his monumental contributions to modern 68k Amiga development.

I-Gunnar has been built from the ground up to push the boundaries of next-generation Amiga-compatible systems. The game fully leverages the enhanced multimedia capabilities of the Apollo Core, making extensive use of proprietary system components, most notably the high-fidelity Arne DMA Sound engine for its audio design. Because of these specialized technical requirements, the title is tailored exclusively for the Apollo and Vampire systems. Players will need compatible next-gen setups to run the title, including:A6000 desktop systems, V4 Standalone setups, Apollo Vampire accelerator cards and V4 expansion boards!

Story:

The war has ended, the world has been under the yoke of the Shadow Government (Faction).  The the people are divided in 3  factions: The Rebellion, the Ignorant and the Shadow Government. The Rebellion Faction who doesn’t want to be slaves and the Ignorant, who just want to live in peace in exchange of some of their liberties. And last, but not least, we have the Shadow government themselves, who only desire obedience and nothing less. Choose one, choose wisely.

  • – In-game Speech
  • – Awesome music
  • – Great features and sound.
