Amber

Note: This is still in early development. Many things will change and be added.

This repository contains libraries to implement games of the Amber trilogy for modern platforms like Windows, Linux, Mac and Android.

Many parts are designed in a way that they can be used or extended for different environments, game data providers, renderers, sound backends and so on.

Projects

Provides basic utilities which all other projects might use.

Amber.Assets.Common

Amber.Renderer.Common

Amberstar

Currently Amberstar is ported to modern platforms based on this new project so the Amberstar related parts are kept here as well for easier development. At some point they will move to their own repository though.

Amberstar.GameData.Legacy

Concrete loaders and implementations for Amberstar game data which are related to the original legacy games for Atari ST, Amiga or DOS.
