I don't like games that never end – so my endless runner actually has an ending.

GameTank: a true 8-bit homebrew console shaped like a bright blue tank – and without HDMI. That’s pure punk! The developer’s promo video is absolutely worth watching and genuinely entertaining. Made me laugh!

A bit off-topic, but I only recently stumbled across the syfy TV series “Dark Matter” (2015–2017). It completely flew under my radar. Great story, gritty vibe, shady characters - love it!

Finally tackled the upgrade system this weekend! Once you’ve collected enough coins, an overlay pops up with three random upgrades to choose from. The gameplay loop is pretty much done now! :)

After 10+ years, I finally updated my Itch.io page with my first (and only) game from 2014. If you’re into old-school platformers - and don’t mind 4:3 and a Flash Projector - you can now download Baby Mummy’s Curse for PC. It’s free!

Cleared Hot just launched in Early Access on Steam!

If you loved games like „Desert Strike“ back in the day, you should definitely check this one out. The demo left a fantastic impression.

Sawblades are always a good idea! Just lying in the middle of the path, moving back and forth like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

Maybe I’ll add one more obstacle, but I think I’m ready to start working on perks and upgrades.

Completely revamped the title font today. Went for something blockier and more readable - the old ornate version looked nice but had an awkward word layout. To be honest, the ridiculously long game title is to blame!

Worked on the title screen typography today. Pretty happy with the gothic base type - still not sure about the colors and the small text though.

New enemy type! I actually wanted to make a simple up-and-down moving sawblade, but what came out instead is a bunny with supernatural jump power. It’s got sharp teeth, too - two of them.

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

Spikes. Dangerous! Wrong shoes = instant death! Next step: figure out a reliable way to coordinate all the obstacles …

My game has snails now. What you do with them is entirely up to you.
I also upgraded the HUD - speed is now shown in horsepower (hp).
The knight got a bit sportier … he can duck now, too.

My game’s got gnomes now - the nasty kind. The ones that hover around and shoot at you for no reason … with giant Q-tips.

Making good progress! Added the first HUD elements and two new enemy types: an arrow (still missing its archer) and one (way too) fat budgie. The place’s starting to feel alive!

I’m working on new enemies for my minigame. Here’s the flight animation of a falcon - or maybe a brown budgie? At a certain resolution, it’s hard to tell.
