Dear Backers,
in "theory" everyone who backed us on Kickstarter by pledging for a console bundle should have got an email from Backerkit today. It is a bit cryptic but if you follow the link, you will find an ".ADF"-file to be played in your favorite Amiga Emulator.
It will allow you to play the indieGO!-Edition of the Amiga Game "Tanks Furry".
This edition contains extra maps, which are not available in other versions of the game.
It will come preinstalled on your indieGO! as well (Kickstarter consoles only).
In case you miss this email and you would like to play it, please contact us via kickstarter.
Tanks Furry indieGO! Edition comes pre-installed on the Kickstarter Edition consoles - but you can play it right now : )
If you still miss AmiCloud, don't fear it will reach you in the next days. A bit more than 50% of our Backers have got it already but we had to focus on development and fixing pi3 related bugs the last days.
The following is a shaky cam video (playing with one hand on a joypad) running on a Pi3.
As you can see it runs a bit too fast in the video. This is because I have emulated a 030@28MHZ CPU while the game runs on much slower Amigas perfectly fine.

Hi,
i have to say sorry to the guy behind Amiga Racer : ) "Sorry Michael!"
I have shared an video about an outdated version.. the game is still under development but has already reached a very enjoyable state. Updated can be applied in-game with a click on "live update".
Projekt Lila is progressing day by day as well.. we will post a video every then and now to keep you updated... the demo is running on a real A1200 btw.
We still owe a majority of you the AmiCloud client.. stay tuned it could hit you tomorrow via email. Maybe Wednesday depending on the normal daily chaos : )
A friend of mine is working on a Pi3 Amiga case and will do a video about AEROS running on this.. could be interesting for you as well.
Work in progress
He did a video about it a long time ago running on a Raspberry Pi 3.. so stay tuned for the new version:
You can grab AEROS 4.0 for Pi1 /Pi2 /Pi3 and Odroid XU3/XU4* from the backer page on www.indiego-gaming.com .
*AEROS 3.0 for now.. 4.0 for Odroid systems should be available Wednesday.. Need to add the update tool, Exagear update, AmiCloud and the indieGO!-Appstore.
AEROS 4.0 features now live-updates, so you don't need to download "whole" new images.
A first indieGO!-OS image will be available in ~1week (it will not include all licensed parts yet)
I will drop now whenever a software-component of the console has been updated a small update.
For everyone who missed AmiCloud (or info about it) here is a review of an older version:
While it is written from the view of an Amiga user it should at least answer you what it is at all : D
A sort of Dropbox, iCloud alternative.
On the Hardware-side of things we have found a good power-supply which is universally usable around the globe and features also USB ports. So you can charge usb-devices or Smartphones while playing on the indieGO! : )
This week a Blu-ray drive will arrive here and I am sure to get it to work with a combination of exagear and Kodi. Cross your fingers.
While I am not into Blu-ray's I know a lot of you are.
One note about activating AmiCloud for (Windows, OSX and so on):
If you take a look at the review (URL posted above) you will see that AmiCloud normally needs to be purchased in the indieGO!-Appstore.
In your case we will create and send you a voucher-code for AmiCloud. Just enter it into the indieGO!-Appstore (there is a "huge" icon saying voucher code) and you are done..
Username and Password for the Appstore and AmiCloud are identical. You can create your own password and username at first start of the Appstore client.
NOTE: We are working on a new client /rewritten and much more stable. This one should be ready end of this week or next if something comes in-between. It is not needed that you post bugs about the AppStore client because it is dead meat already ; )
If you like to change your password or username at any point you can do this here:
This username and password has nothing to with the Backer-section on www.indigo-gaming.com (sorry to say but those can't be changed)
The next indieGO!-Appstore client will have a very long change-log..
Important improvements are joypad-control, no dead icons (some functions are blocked in the current version), shows only Games and Apps working on the host OS... right now it shows all stuff from other platforms as well.
Well and it will be stable and much faster.
Stay tuned!

81% answered the Backerkit survey - smaller updates

Hi,
some of you should find an email about AmiCloud and access to the Backer section on www.indiego-gaming.com.
Some will get access at a later point because they don't have been charged yet.
Lockdown- date is 28th of march.
Just answer to the email regarding which version of AmiCloud you would like to get.
It will be installed on your indieGO!, but console backers will get it also for one desktop OS of their choice.
I've got already a lot responses... please be patient. I plan to send the binaries out starting on monday. It is more effectively to wait for the majority of feedback.
Today I have added a new tool called up2date for AEROS and it will be used in indieGO!-OS as well.
This one allows me to apply fixes, additions and updates based on your requests.. When I 've done the changes, all you need to do is to start up2date to get the latest and greatest.
The next images will contain it by default. (should be online on tuesday).
Fabio is working on a rewritten App Store client which is planned to be ready end of next week.
Projekt Lila is progressing nicely.. Amiworx has take then programming over and we have defined the level design and layout. The video below demoes two items and a song of the soundtrack..
About AmiCloud:
Until you get access to the indieGO! console in june, you will have only 5GB free storage. In june it will be raised to 25GB. End of this week we will have finished the server side work regarding the chat-functionality.
Free for console backers
Bottom right in the smaller window (next to the 15% usage information) you can find the share button.. Their you can create public URL's for your files, so that other can download them from a web-browser.
So next week we will have AEROS 4.0 including self-updating function (no rewrite of images and manually activation of 3rd-party licenses is need) for Pi 1/2/3 and Odroid XU3 and XU4.
Have a nice weekend!
PS:
I would like to remind you to the AmigaRacer USB-Stick.. : )
Backerkit options
about 8 years ago

Hi,
meanwhile we have added a few options like a 1TB hard-drive and the option to choose if you want us to put the decals on your console or just inside the box.
If you missed this option, remember that you can easily go back and change it until the lock-down date.
AZERTY Keyboard for our french backers
We couldn't find a supplier which offer those keyboards with AZERTY Layout in small quantities. At least not with a discount.. so we can only offer it as an upgrade option. (you can find it in the add-on section).
There you will be able to download OS images and more. Stay tuned.
If you missed the news: The Pi2 has been replaced by the Pi3 ... here too ;-)
AEROS for Pi
Meanwhile we have released AEROS for Pi1 and 2 for public users. You will get access to a newer version (4.0) also compatible to the Pi3 on www.indiego-gaming.com (saturday via email).
As soon you get our email regarding your log-in data, you can answer to the email and choose the AmiCloud desktop license you would like to get. Every console backer can request AmiCloud also for one extra OS of his choice (Windows, OSX, Linux, AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS). This way you can easily sync files with your computer and your console : )
AmiCloud running on OSX
AEROS for Odroid will be updated to version 4.0 in 2 weeks... up to this point you can download the older version also on www.indiego-gaming.com . (as soon you got your log-in data from us)
You've got mail! Survey-time!
