Amiga is getting it's first Danmaku game: Hyperborea

Amiga DreamTeam is working on HyperBorea, a new Danmaku game for the Amiga.

Or as they put it:
World's first real Amiga 1200 Danmaku bullet hell classic vertically scrolling shmup Game! Requirements: stock A1200 or compatible! In this video: the bullet code has been further optimized - which allowed us to throw even more bullets around. And we added those typical small rotating oval Danmaku bullets too (those are aimed upwards in this video so that the two player-ships have a chance to survive ;) ). Up to around 250 bullets in this video... Okay, this will be it regarding the bullet-engine :) *This* is *real* bullet hell...

R-Type Final 2 adds additional crowdfunding round

Seeing as Kickstarter has come out as union-busting assholes, I much prefer this crowdfunding round on the projects own website.
