In recent months there has been a concerted attempt to find help for current and new projects that seek to benefit the community. But with the legal battle over AmigaOS 4 still ongoing, attention has been diverted away from the positive efforts dedicated Amiga users have embarked on. Amiga Flame would like to briefly outline some of the community-based projects in the hope that more users will play an active role.
Publications
The Downloads section on the Amiga Future website provides Amiga gamers with dozens of hit games like Behind the Iron Gate and Beneath a Steel Sky. They are looking for someone who wants to take care of the Downloads section - writing system requirements and a brief description for each software package in German and English.

Gunnar von Boehn has been working for a number of years on an Arcade Games Construction Kit that will “allow non-programmers to easily create shoot-em ups in virtually no time”. To finish the kit and a 2D shoot-em up named 1944 they need the help of a skilled GFX artist willing to devote sufficient time and energy.
