The original skies of chaos was very/relatively kid friendly, but this is too fun to not add into the widescreen version! #gamedev #shmup #pixelart

Picked up a second hand Surface Go 4, absolutely love the 10inch format / size. Not sure how useful it'll be alongside my macbook pro and other tech. But probably performance for me to get back to learning my C# Players Guide book! #indiedev

I picked up Banjo Pilot for the GBA only recently - never played it when younger - it's a great kart racer, the controls are a great twist on the genre and it looks gorgeous on the gba. Definitely one of the better additions to my collection!

Not technically accurate - and I know there should be 8! - but does the job! #pixelart #shmup πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚

The is the plan at the moment yep. But will be a little while before it’s all finished and ready to go.

Just been playing Earthion on switch. It's good fun! I'm not usually a fan of horizontal shmups, but this is a fun time with a load of great design touches. Easy mode is very nicely balanced too. Perfect arcade vibe!! #shmups

Completed Death Stranding 2 yesterday... I really enjoyed pottering around with the deliveries, but I don't think I've ever played something with such bad writing, structure and direction. Such as shame as it could of been an classic.

I think it was a firmware issue with the Analogue Pocket. I updated it from 2.0 to 2.5 and now the cart is working perfectly!!

This version is one that is open (so you can grab carts easier) but they also sell a version that closes completely! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Desi...

And now an entirely new game through the letter box! A brand new gb/gbc game from @asobitech.com ! Time to get the shrink wrap off! #gameboy #retrogaming

Both the premier manager games I have are pretty bad! Shame there doesn’t seem to be any good footy management games on gba

Just experienced my first cartidge that doesn't work properly with the #AnaloguePocket, but works perfectly fine on original devices (Gameboy SP and Micro) "Invader". Glad I double checked before faffing around with doing a return! [crashes towards the end of level 1] #retrogaming #gameboy

A few more decorative bits to add and some lighting, and then this homage to Stardew, created with my new asset pack, is all done! Then on to the next game type/mockup! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Some new additions. Never played Denki Blocks before, but heard good things. Plus two #shmups, Phalanx + Invader. Phalanx feels pretty standard but decent. Invader is gorgeous and more my vibe, but keeps crashing half way through the first mission! Will clean pins and hope to fix it! 🀞 #retrogaming

I'm sorry to hear that!! that sounds horrible! πŸ˜“πŸ˜“
Such amazing technology, spent half the evening googling how it actually works!

Yeah, I totally understand why some people / kids can get worried/scared inside them! So so loud! Gotta wait till next week for results. Rather bad rolled ankle so might have some torn tendons πŸ˜…πŸ˜¬

Had an MRI for the first time today (for a running injury). Those machines are quite ominous to be inside! Sounded like being in a giant dot-matrix printer. Trying like crazy to stay perfectly still!πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… Also quite funy that this futuristic machine was housed inside a random portacabin!
