Recommended as a clear overview of Another World's graphics and programming and what the Amiga could do.
Modern Vintage Gamer explains how Eric Chahi built Another World on the Amiga 500, using 2D polygons, rotoscoping and clever techniques to run well on a stock 7MHz machine.
“A great video about Another World's graphics and the capabilities of the Amiga” (HN, 2023)
Modern Vintage Gamer just did a video on the programming of Another World on the Amiga with heavy reference to Fabien's work. The Amiga's architecture really shaped the look of the game that was subsequently ported to many platforms (as Fabien documents as well). [this video]
