Hey all! I'm back! And I've got really some great news about Bosca Ceoil to share.
Bosca Ceoil Blue is a new, modern remake of Bosca Ceoil, created in Godot by @YuriSizov, and just like the original version, it's completely free and open source. With its first release, it already has feature parity with the original Bosca, and has new features too like undo support and save confirmation when quitting.
This repo has been inactive for a very long time - the original version of Bosca Ceoil was made in Actionscript 3, at a certain point it just became unfeasible to keep it running. I'd personally made the move from Flash to Haxe in 2016, but Bosca Ceoil's particular sound depends on a complex AS3 library that never got a haxe port, and it seemed like it would be stuck in place until that changed.
And then Yuri came along! The big reason I'm so excited about this port is that not only does it port Bosca Ceoil itself, it also ports the underlying synth, SiON!
SiON is an amazing project in its own right, and I'm look forward to seeing it get discovered by game devs in upcoming jams, and playing around with it myself (I use Godot a lot these days) - there were some really cool flash experiments with it back in the day!
Having played about with Bosca Ceoil Blue, I can see that it's the clear successor to this project. So, I will be archiving this github page and redirecting people to Yuri's page in future. Thanks all <3
