@klx300r

Thank you, thank you, for such great support!


@all

The ISP seems to have problems or be doing some maintenance, so at the moment the site isn't reachable - sorry for the inconvenience.

@all

I just wanted to inform you that the site can be accessed now.

Hi everybody,

this time I'm disturbing you for a little request - I hope I'm not doing any harm.

I'd like to invite who deems BOH worthy of such request to vote for it in the first phase of the Indie of the Year Awards (only the first 50 games pass the phase).
To vote it's enough to go to BOH's page on Indie DB and click on the big VOTE FOR THIS INDIE button. Important note: who is registered on Indie/Mod DB should vote after logging in, as his/her vote will count more.
After all, this is another little way of letting the world know that the Amiga is still alive

Thanks for your time and, obviously, for voting!

Just tried the Windows version, nice work - voted.

Hello Amigans,

it's also thanks to your support that I can happily report that BOH passed the first round of the Indie of the Year Awards!

Now, if you wish to help BOH make it to the finals, just:
1. go here;
2. click on the "Adventure" category in the "TOP 100 RELEASED INDIES OF 2010" list;
3. locate BOH's line (it should be the third);
4. click on "VOTE".
(And, if you can, spread the word!)
It's easy and, like before, no registration is required!

Thanks once again!

EDIT: I'm seizing the chance to inform you that I've recently released a 20-minute game session video - if you'd like to give it a look, go here.

Hello Amigans,

of course, you wouldn't expect me to let the year end without giving BOH players one freebie, would you? The 14th update is now out! It ups the total number of missions to a whopping 50 (for many tens of hours of play), brings a few enhancements and makes life easier to who enjoys creating his own missions!



More specifically, this update:
* reworks the advanced automapper (the realistic mode has been replaced with the fullscreen view, which allows to see more; the controls have been made more comfortable);
* improves the video modes suggestions;
* allows terminating map lines with CR+LF;
* improves error logging;
* improves the graphics of blocks in theme "C64";
* adds 5 new missions;
* retouches slightly a few missions;
* retouches slightly the Spanish translation;
* updates the manuals;
* applies various other changes.

The update can be downloaded for free from the DOWNLOADS page of the official website.
The demos have been updated to reflect the changes.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

I'd like to let you know that the update released a few days ago was not the only surprise in store for Christmas

Starting today, BOH comes at ridiculously low price!
In fact, who fancies the idea of receiving a nice boxed copy of BOH comfortably at home, only needs EUR 8.99, for Italy, or EUR 14.99, for any other place in the world! - and that's including taxes and shipping!
And, of course, there's a surprise also for who is perfectly happy with a digital copy: downloading the full game costs only EUR 4.99!
You'll never ever get so much for so little, so, if you're looking forward to lots of gaming fun during the upcoming holidays, don't let this extraordinary opportunity pass you by!

(Please note that this offer supercedes any previous offer and pricing scheme.)

Cheers!

Hi all,

I'm extremely happy to celebrate BOH's 3rd birthday by informing you that I have just released the 15th and final update, which brings even more contents and improvements!



More specifically, this update:
* adds 5 missions;
* adds the Dutch translation;
* optimizes even further the rendering engine;
* replaces the transition effect with a cooler one;
* centers the graphics vertically when playing in a screen bigger than the game area;
* allows providing just alphamask files for all the graphics of themes;
* replaces icons with bigger and crisper ones;
* allows to configure the URL for the submissions of records to the online world standings (so that, in future, standings will remain accessible also if the URL changes);
* updates the manuals;
* applies various other minor optimizations/fixes.

The update can be downloaded for free from the DOWNLOADS page of the official website at www.bohthegame.com.
The demos have been updated to reflect the changes.

Hi all,

I'd like to let you know that, thanks to the warm and positive feedback received, today I have released the BOH soundtrack, in a deluxe package prepared with the same meticulous care that characterizes BOH throughout.



The package contains:
* 18 tracks (6 menu tunes, 6 failure jingles and 6 success jingles, for a total of over 11 minutes) in CD quality;
* a print-quality, jewel case-format, 8-page booklet which accompanies the reader on an aural journey through the mazes of BOH;
* a print-quality, jewel case-format, double-sided inlay;
* a color serigraphy for high-quality CD stickers and pressed CD labels;
* a black-and-white serigraphy for LightScribe labels.

Everybody can download the soundtrack for free from http://www.bohthegame.com/downloads.html.

(Note: the picture is only a mockup of how a real CD would look like.)
