Something different for today on Indie Retro News, as looking through the EAB forums for something interesting to write up, and we were contacted by Lifeschool22, about the latest game that they created for the Commodore Amiga called ‘Holiday’. A game in which the creator says your task is to survive the next 11 days in a climate of heat, humidity and the air smelling sweet like ripe bananas at a Spanish resort. To coincide with this news, Saberman had done a video of the game some time back but will be used for this news heads up.

While a more in-depth description can be found via the website below, this is what the creator says about Holiday for the Amiga OCS/ECS. “Recently I posted two threads, one on Lemon and the other on EAB, asking for help with making a game. And the reply was Cando, Can Do it!  At first the interface put me off, but after a lot of head scratching to get through the initial brick wall, I found it came to me eventually. It was strange to have to remind myself of If Then Else, and Loops and Variables from my College days. I even have a While loop in there!, to delay the rooms. The whole thing took just over a month to create. One issue was I didn’t send the code from the side bar buttons to a sub-routine, and instead did the code routines per page. Big mistake! I had to go through each page to make small changes!”
