Bad Janitor looks cool, I can see similarities just from the screenshots. It's what I imagine a more modern Skool Daze game would look like. Good look with the game release, hope it's doing well.

I was 26 when I wrote Klass of 99. The game itself is now 26 years old. Blimey! 🤪 bitglint.itch.io/klassof99 #klassof99 #skooldaze #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gaming

Lucky sod. That's about 10 times more frequent than me. 😎

Never thought of that! 😉👍

Been tinkering with a prototype for a quick little Playdate game. Zap the balls to fill the three batteries to a certain level (not shown), but don't over charge. See how many level you can do in 99 seconds. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

Pipsqueak!

Still playing with this, but going in no particular direction. It's just fun seeing the Melkhior's Mansion characters come to life on the PlayDate.

What I have working on Spectrum Next. 🤔Hmm... I think this might just be running a bit too slow, but at least I gave it a try.

Here's the BBC Micro version of Ultimate Play The Game's 'Nightshade' assembling from source code. This was recovered from Paul Proctor's original development disks. It uses BBC BASIC's built-in assembler to generate the executable. From a time when games were all written in machine code. #6502

Cool morning walks just before sunrise. I love the start of Autumn. September is the most melancholic of months, but also one of the most beautiful.

I'm using the C SDK. It's very well supported and has an active community forum on the PlayDate website.

Beautiful job. Those machines are amazing. Kinda took them for granted when we were kids.

Another project I'm tinkering with is a possible PlayDate exclusive Melkhior's Mansion spin off. Very early days, but it looks really neat on the actual device.

Haha! I've got one eye on semi retirement in the next few years, and that'll mean proper time to do games. Me 'n you are gonna have to have a serious chat soon. 😉

Probably not, but never say never.

Zyphatron's teleport sequence is now complete. On this project I'm looking to complete features as I do them, rather than improve the features with subsequent iterations. Might work, might not.

No brainer! 👍

Today I gave my little browser based Space Invaders clone a new lick of paint, just because! It looks a bit more authentic now. Free to play at bitglint.itch.io/retro-invaders #IndieGameDev #spaceinvaders #unity

Yep, verlet! ☺️

I don't normally play my own games that much, but I've found myself enjoying Undrium over the last few days. Download for free and have a go yourself if you haven't already. 🙂

Rosewater, my Wild West adventure game, has been out nearly 4 months and has been very well-received!

But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience.

If you can spare a repost and help spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated!

Lave in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

The Constrictor mission in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

A Dodo station in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

A Thargoid in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron.

This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.

Links in thread.

It is the one with all the cool sound effects, yes? I seem to remember the kid up the road having one and I was a tad envious.

Yeh see you in Lerwick, it's where the sensible temperatures are...

Playing with some of the new tile graphics from @craigstevenson.bsky.social. Still far from the finished look, but coming along nicely. #zyphatron #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

Similar, and of course it's inspired by it, 'cos it was one of my fave Speccy games. It'll be a different game though.
