Respawned 80's game developer. Dodgy Rocks, Turbo Tomato, Rogue Declan. Working on porting Lumo to Amiga.
Got Lumo (Amiga) ported over to building on Linux without too much trouble now too.

Finally selling my #Mega65 dev unit. These are rarer numbered units, different cases but identical motherboard.

Looking for £600 minus postage, if anyone is interested.

Not sure if these are related (yet), but my work laptop disk has suddenly filled up with 850Gb of undeletable "System Data" after being upgraded to macOS 26 last week 🤦🏻

So, I spent a lot of today writing a unified build script to build the game for multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac and Steamdeck), but I did get to do some fun stuff too.

Aaaaand it's finished!
Here are all 10 levels in its full glory.

It may not seem like much but trust me I've been through so many issues and crashes that I was *very* close to giving up.

But now it's in a state where I am happy with the results.

Got my current Amiga project cross compiling from Linux (previously on macOS) on the cheap ThinkPad X1 I picked up for traveling. I need to port my customised FSUAE next so I can actually run it though.

Now that's what I'm talking about. VSCode can suck it. NeoVIM is dead to me. This is a TUI text editor for this century.
