Searching for retro jotter on Amazon Australia brings up the Spectrum version but it is way down the list behind a wall of sponsored notebooks, tat and pens

Nope, made it about 30 minutes

More progress on Invasion Anarchy for the #amiga - I drew a single frame of an alien to test with, wrote the alien sequencer, score and text code. No collisions defined levels or sound yet; In this video I pulse the background where the sequencer should be playing a sound.

Finished writing the weapon systems for Invasion Anarchy on the #amiga. The new system is only limited by the number of hardware sprites I want to use and should give me a bit of flexibility in adding extra weapons to the game, something missing from the #c64 version.

An update to Invasion Anarchy for the #commodore64 - https://designchaos.itch.io/invasion-anarchy/devlog/926179/invasion-anarchy-update #c64 #xp

Here's a recent look at my WIP game for the #c64; it doesn't look like much yet, but it plays pretty well. I have some vague plans for the game once the control method is done. #commodore64 #gamedev #indiedev

Added some cheat codes to Invasion Anarchy and fixed a bug where the proficiency bonus was only being awarded if you were inefficient. #c64 #commodore64 #gamedev

I'm done with work for the year, so I am working out what needs to be done to get Invasion Anarchy releasable; my list so far includes fixing the 2nd ship fire sound, cheat modes, testing easy mode, music tweaks and finishing or redoing the bitmap for the loader #gamedev #c64 #commodore64

Elite in anaglyph 3D is now feature-complete! I squashed the last bug this morning, and the game is now fast enough to play.

The next task is to write some instructions and document how it all works, but I will be releasing this very soon.

It's fun!
