Arlasoft Unfinished Commodore 64 Game Funfair Inc. Released

Arlasoft recently announced on Twitter their unfinished Commodore 64 Game Funfair Inc. has been released to the public with source code.

Here's a few words from Arlasoft on their website. "This downloadable version is where development stopped a couple of years ago, I just hit a brick wall and the motivation to tackle even the smallest feature or bug disappeared. Unfortunately unless I get into a position where I can do my own thing all day every day I don't see me having the time or energy to finish it, but I will make the code available to anyone who wants to have a go."

The Last Dungeon (AmiGameJam 2022)

The Last Dungeon is another promising game that was entered into the AmiGameJam 2022. Here's a few words from the creator.

"This is an Amiga Disk File (.ADF) and requires a real Amiga computer to run or through an Amiga emulator! (Amiga 500 ECS 1MB, OCS might be buggy!)

This is my submission to the AmiGameJam 2022.
(I might upload a newer version in a few hours but probably not!)

Development was started in May 2023 after the deadline was extended.

This is not a finished game! For various reasons I ran out of time. There will be bugs!

If people like the game I will continue to work on it after the Jam in the hope of finishing it properly."
