Amiga Memories

Amiga Memories is a project (started & released in 2013) that aims to make video programmes that can be published on the internet. The images and sound produced by Amiga Memories are 100% automatically generated. The generator itself is implemented in Squirrel, the 3D rendering is done on GameStart 3D. An Amiga Memories video is mostly based on a narrative. The purpose of the script is to define the spoken and written content. The spoken text will be read by a voice synthesizer (Text To Speech or TTS), the written text is simply drawn on the image as subtitles. Here, in addition to the spoken & written narration, the script controls the camera movements as well as the LED activity of the computer. Amiga Memories' video images are computed by the GameStart 3D engine (pre-HARFANG 3D). Although the 3D assets are designed to be played back in real-time with a variable framerate, the engine is capable of breaking down the video sequence into the 30th or 60th of a second, as TGA files.
