I doodled a little single screen platformer engine to scratch an itch. It's not a game, just some jumping about to see if I could get it working :)

TONIGHT 8pm BST at twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - #AMIGAugust is here and I'm marking the occasion with more games that only came out on the #Amiga (as far as I can tell anyway), at least up to 1993. Join us for a mix of well-known and frankly obscure and sometimes bizarre titles...

The C64 Mini Black Edition THEC64 Mini - Black Edition features 25 modern neo classic games, the very best produced in recent years.

The C64 Mini Black Edition has been announced. All four of my bigger games are on it (not my 4k competition ones). It's an honour to be included alongside some of the very best modern #C64 games out there. Sam's Journey and A Pig's Quest to name just two.

I’ve been working on The Machine’s undersuit. The shirt is now finished and I’ll finish the pants today.

I still need to make the cloak and paint the armour. I’m behind schedule, so I won’t finish the project by Gamescom.

The debut of The Machine is now officially at Amiga40.

Released on this day in 1993, Apogee launched BioMenace!

Wings of Fear - demo V3.01 by Roartj Retro - Shoot em up

My friend Roar released a new version of his Wings of Fear demo for the Amiga. It's now an AGA game, and has come a long way since the first demo. Lots of great pixel graphics. Find it here:

I played VIC-20 games on a manually tuned black and white TV until the (external) RF modulator overheated and the picture started rolling. I could cool it down to play longer by wrapping it in a damp towel. And I was suprised by the colours when I occasionally got to play it on the family Big TV :)

The first three levels are working, it's a little janky but the mechanics are all there now. Now I just have to design the rest of the levels and, somehow, fit them in memory. #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroGaming #Speccy

Aye. We don’t even have access to the tools yet. It’s fine. It’ll be fine. I’m definitely not looking at other jobs.

Because of the efficiency and productivity gains they’ve been sold on. DAYJOB is mandating AI use now and linked to performance reviews. I’ll explore where it can be useful but so far … meh. Depends on the task of course, but a complex code base in a less popular framework doesn’t have my hopes up.

This minor update's most important improvement is that 'metatiles' auto-repair themselves when you swap tiles around, saving a lot of time and hassle.

Plus a good handful fixes and polish
