Light Gate, is our new title that we be releasing at the Wakefield show. It features retro style mini games, cut scenes, RPG features and different modes of play including 3D. The game previously had the working title Escape to the Light and you can see a development vlog on YouTube via our channel @AmcogG . Inspiration comes from Tron, Undertale, Little Nightmares and a 1960s reel of tape bought at a charity shop that sounds like it is haunted. A new episode is coming soon covering design and code for the RISC OS release of Light Gate. We hope you can come and see us there!

“Project N.Ex.T” NVMe technology for Pi and Pinebook Pro - come and see
our super fast, NVMe-powered computers which come in all shapes and sizes
to fit your budget and pocket - finally we have true successors to the our
popular iMX6 computers. Alongside NVMe, we'll also be showing the

RISC OS Open will be coming along to show the community all of the latest progress on areas like Wi-Fi, filing systems, software development, and ROOL merchandise.

RISCOSbits will be bringing along a range of RISC OS systems to try and buy, including the FAST machines - probably still the fastest RISC OS computers ever.

There will be a selection of compact and bijou NVMe systems available to buy on the day, including the premium-specced but budget-priced VENOM, the miniscule powerhouse that is the PiRO Qube, and the multi-headed mythical monster that is Chimera - running RISC OS and Linux simultaneously on one behemoth. All of our NVMe machines contain eMMC devices for robustness and speed. SD cards are banished to history in all these beasts.

Talking of robustness, the rugged ROBUST will be present, using traditional SSD storage to bolster it's fast eMMC drive.

In addition to systems to buy on the day, there will be a range of cases and accessories for all RISC OS users to take advantage of, including docks, HATs and enhancements. And some bargain stock at prices to clear.

Soft Rock Software will be demonstrating the latest work in progress on a new game; a sequel to Drop Rock, originally released three decades ago, and - provided the wind is blowing in the right direction - perhaps even the very early beginnings of a sequel to Escape from Exeria.

Escape from Exeria, an update to another old game from Soft Rock Software, will itself be available to purchase on CD at the show, as will the Soft Rock Software Collection (on CD or USB flash drive).

The last remaining RiscPiC-mini cases for the Raspberry Pi will also be available - at a price well below cost - and are likely to be withdrawn from sale at the end of this year, so the Wakefield Show may be one of your last chances to get one!
