BOH creator Simone Bevilacqua has announced the release of a milestone update for his retro survival shooter, now available for download.
Carl Williams writes, "Okay, for me, BOH is a choice title. I was there discussing the game with the author, Simone Bevilacqua, early on (I believe this was round update number two). Mr. Bevilacqua has been working hard to keep BOH interesting and fun for both hardcore and new fans of the game. The list of additions and fixes in update number 17 is long and varied. BOH has also found a new home to rest on the Internet, one that should give more potential fans a chance to play. If you are a fan of overhead scrolling action adventures, then you should have already made the jump."
Being a giant, beloved video game site has its downsides. For example, Joystiq sometimes neglect to give independent developers their coverage love (or loverage, if you will) as they get caught up in AAA, AAAA or the rare quintuple-A titles. To remedy that, they're giving indies the chance to create their own loverage and sell you, the fans, on their studios and products. This week they talk with Simone Bevilacqua, creator of BOH, about his game and why he'll always love his Amiga.
NZ Gamer: Indie games are a little bit like toddlers; every once and a while they do something really amazing, that makes you pine for the days when you, too, were mesmerised by the simplest things. But for most of the time they just frustrate you, take up far too much of your day, and crap everywhere.
