My son (8 years old) created 90% of the game graphics. We designed the pictures together with iron-on beads and he painted them with the Shoot-Em-Up construction set. He also added 90% of the backgrounds and opponents himself.
He plays ice hockey himself (https://salzgitter-young-icefighters.de) and wanted to combine his hobbies of computer games and ice hockey.

Game's page says "The Young Icefighter Demo" rather than "the-young-salzgitter-icefighter" so maybe a remnant of a different name.
hi, yes the name was changed during the development phase. Because we received permission from the real ice hockey club to use their logo and name during the development

Thank you :-)
Nice game and fun idea to combine shooting and hockey. Hope your son continues making games. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New Amiga Games from December 2024" video along with other recently released Amiga games.
Thank you :-)
Does your game require AGA chipset?
Hello,
No, the shoot em up construction kit does not support Aga. Unfortunately it is a very limited but also very simple program
Greeting from the Amiga-News.de team! :)
We reported on your first demo:
https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2024-12-00127-EN.html
Now I noticed your updated and was about writing a new news item. Before, I tried to get it running, but neither with WinUAE, nor with vAmigaWeb I succeeded. On which hardware did you test it...?
Hello Primax,
thanks for asking. Does it not start for you at all? I tested it with Winuae (Kickstart 3.1 with Amiga 1200 configuration). It ist Autobooting (I have not tested if it also works from hard drive).
First comes the "Icefighters Logo with Tiger". Then the "Thorin Art" Image.
When the "Thorin Art" image appears, you have to press fire button, then you start in level 3. Please write to me if it works for you. Best regards
I use the same system configuration (A1200) and yes, I can see both images. But after clicking the Thorin Image, it vanishes and I get a black screen. Nothing happens then. Music plays.
OK. Then unfortunately I can't say what the problem is. Maybe another user can test it. please try the version uploaded today. This has been tested under 1.3 under Winuae and on the original amiga 500 (also 1.3) and now works perfectly for me. It also works under 3.1 (winuae), but without the initial images. I replaced libraries so that it works perfectly under 1.3 and will have to use them again for 3.1 later.
I have found the reason! :)
It is important to use a Kickstart ROM of an Amiga 500! And to use the A500 configuration in WinUAE!
If you use newer Kickstart ROMs such as 40.063 (what I did) or 40.068 the game fails.
Thanks for the test Primax. I will add your information to the description next year and check which Kickstart version I used for the emulated Amiga 1200.
Have a happy new year
