... What is it ...

 This is the port of "Eldritch" to AmigaOS4 which works directly via ogles2 &
warp3dnova.

 To have good performance and no visuall glitches, you should have as a minimum:
 
 ogles2.library : >= 3.1
 Warp3DNova.library : >= 1.85
 RadeonHD : >= 3.7 or RadeonRX : >= 2.4 with Prefs:PowerManagment set to HIGH

 Game developed by David Pittman and published by Minor Key Games. A few years
ago it was open-sourced, and with big help of ptitSeb in terms of big-endian and
amigaos4 changes it's now possible
 to play on AmigaOS4 as well.

 The latest-current source code can be found on my GitHub account there: 
 
 https://github.com/kas1e/Eldritch 
 
 You also can report your bugs on the same page.
 

... How to run and how to play ...

 By default game running in 1280x800 window mode. 
 Just unpack the game and double-click. Everything else will be self-explained,
and intuitive.


... Performance note ...

 On x5000/020 with Radeon RX, in 1920x1080x32 you have from 20 till 60 FPS
across all the game.
 
 You can see the video in action to know what to expect:

... Warnings ...

1). There is a known issue with the colors in the game. They not everywhere of
the expected look. Hope to be fixed in the next bug-fix release.
2). Speed in some places with a lot of the enemies on screen can drop pretty
bad, that hope to be fixed once DMA in graphics drivers will be added and by
further code optimization in the game itself.
