Well we are on HN. Odd to me for being downvoted for a question rooted in curiosity.

I’m just trying to understand the motivation. If it’s free then I can understand it’s a hobby. When it’s being charged for, and there are some “studios” pumping out commercial games, then to me it warrants trying to understand more about the game creators. Especially when they’re amiga games.

Not a studio, this is development like it's the 90s. Though development is easier now with modern tools, but just like the 1990s it's something one person can write.

Is there really enough of a market to warrant all this development, particularly for the commercial releases? How much could they really make?
neffo · a year ago
A few hundred, maybe a thousand sales.

Was there anything remotely like that back in the days ? The replayability of this genre?

Cadaver had the isometric and style but wasn’t a rogue like.

Looks very like Cybernoid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernoid) which was a great game, love the style

It's named in homage after the creator of Cybernoid even: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raffaele_Cecco

It was commercial, wasn't it? And only worked on Windows? IRC was the open alternative.

This was the 90s, so I guess reverse engineering the protocols was simple. There were even Amiga clients of it, like stricq.

TFA: stop acting like you're famous

TFA (later): well, we made it to the front page of HN

Wouldn’t the time to have killed him be before he testified?
neffo · 2 years ago
This still has a chilling effect. If it happened...

...actually it has a chilling effect even if it didn't happen to be honest.
