I'm an 8- & 16-bit coder, graphician and musician, mainly on the Commodore64 and Amiga. I'm also a PureBasic coder, programming any development applications I need and maybe the odd PC game. https://andyvaisey.itch.io/ | https://csdb.dk/scener/?id=6404

After my recent video of the latest test build of #OutRun #PETSCII, someone suggested a dedication to the OutRun arcade team, who eventually became AM2. I've therefore added a new screen to the intro!

I've rescued yet more of my old #c64 bitmaps I pixelled in the 80's while trying to learn the art of C64 graphics!! You can download the collection called 'Rescued Pixels 3' from CSDb here:

A lazy Sunday morning! Drinking coffee, about to get coding on #Outrun #PETSCII on #C64 and of course reading the latest issue of @freeze64.bsky.social while wearing my new #Commodore baseball cap!

Update! #OutRun #PETSCII on #c64 is only a couple of weeks away from beta testing! After the final release of the game, it'll be back to work on #CHILL3R! See the early version of the map layout for Stage 2 (Creepy Castle - 4 screens wide, 3 high). @everythingc64.itch.io

I resurrected my old A1200 a few years back and have been having great fun further upgrading it and getting back into coding (Blitz2), graphics (various) and music (OctaMed v5).

Two Grandsons staying over tonight. Room with an N64, Dreamcast, Playstation's and XBox's. What did they choose? My game 'Spheroid' on #Amiga and the latest build of #Outrun #PETSCII on #C64! Good choices! @everythingc64.itch.io

This was the first proper test of #OutRun #PETSCII on real hardware (C64c, 8580 SID, SD2IEC and Konix Speedking) primarily testing the disk loading system and #SID detection code. @everythingc64.bsky.social #commodore64 #C64 #8bit #chiptune

Since I'm new on this platform, I should just say I'm currently (foolishly?) developing a #PETSCII version of SEGA classic #Outrun on the #Commodore64!

Work progresses on #Outrun #PETSCII! I'm meticulously recreating the level data from the arcade version for the #C64 using the excellent 'Layout' application and a spreadsheet! Tough going but will hopefully be worth it!
