BOH, original retro-flavoured game released

[saimo]

Hi all,

Kim has kindly allowed me to present BOH, a commercial, 100% indie game I released for AmigaOS, AROS, Linux, MacOS and Windows.



BOH is a unique retro-flavoured puzzle-riddled maze game spiced up with thrilling action.
You move in claustrophobic, mysterious, dangerous battlefields searching for the Evil Masters, who throw countless enemies at you until you discover and face them in the final battle. Although your quests are made slightly less hard by the power-ups scattered all around, carrying out the missions demands lots of concentration and quick reflexes.
With BOH the fun never ends: new missions can be added anytime and you can even create your own! And, as if that was not enough, you can also customize entirely its audio-visual aspect!
BOH has been created with lots of passion and care to offer, with its oldschool style, a fascinatingly different videogaming experience.

The game features:
* immersive & thrilling gameplay;
* 44 missions + 11 secret missions to unlock;
* missions divided in 5 levels of difficulty;
* multi-phase missions;
* multi-floor battlefields of any size/shape;
* mind-blowing puzzles and deadly traps;
* many and varied power-ups;
* several different kinds of enemies;
* hand-pixelled 2D graphics;
* real-time field of vision and lighting;
* atmospheric audio and rich soundtrack;
* 7 themes;
* online world standings;
* possibility of creating missions and themes;
* Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Spanish and Swedish translations.

BOH comes on a CD-ROM in a plastic DVD box along with a 24 pages, full-color printed manual or as a downloadable ISO image.

A top-down 2D game in 2009.

There are 14 year olds who can create better looking 3D graphics. And this shit is being sold? Anybody can make his own "BOH" using GameMaker.

Hi all,

I would like to point you to this nice review motorollin has written on Amiga.org.
Moreover, you may want to have a look at the first comments given by customers - you can find them on the COMMENTS page of BOH's website.

Happy reading!

Dear saimo,

I congratulate you for responding Kodoichi's prejudiced opinions with maturity. You haven't been carried away by his provocative attitude. Just for these reasons alone your product deserves to be well received. I respect you. If a game is created with attention to detail and care then it doesn't matter if it's 2d or 3d or turn-based or real time or on C64 or PS3. It's the enjoyment you get from it, the entertainment value it represents and if it's created with joy then it shows. It doesn't guarantee a commercial success but it makes it more valuable. And also you know life is unfair and there will always be negative responses. Ignore them if you believe in your work.

Regards.

minimoni, I can find no words to express how thankful I am to you, so please excuse me if a send your way a simple: THANK YOU.

Hi all,

I'd like to inform you that, as promised, BOH just got better and now it even runs natively on MacOS X!

Specifically, this update:
* makes the game run natively on MacOS X Tiger/Leopard machines;
* adds zooming to full screen modes;
* allows the choice of the screen mode among those notified by the system;
* replaces zooming routines with more optimized ones (especially 3x and 4x);
* adds the possibility of disabling interpolation (for slow computers);
* adds the possibility of disabling the rendering of barriers;
* improves a bit the original themes;
* enriches slightly the Evil Masters AI;
* adds timer ticking during time-limited missions;
* adds map zooming;
* adds the option of sorting missions by difficulty;
* allows the use of joypads/joysticks with just 1 button;
* fixes the following bugs: bad joypad handling (detection was inhibited by a '2' in place of a '1'; sometimes up/down movement could stick); [PAGE UP/DOWN] handling (repeat delay handling was missing); a bad optimization of ray-tracing routine (which had no practical effects thanks to the way maps and themes were made);
* improves and extends the user's manual;
* links the AmigaOS 4 version to libSDL 1.2.13;
* applies some other minor changes.

BOH owners can enjoy the update by downloading it for free from the DOWNLOADS page of the official website at www.bohthegame.com.
