Making a decent looking fire animation cycle with the Spectrum's 2-colours per 8x8 block restriction was certainly tough! 🤖🔥 #zxspectrum

More pixel art without AI ✨

I figured out how to emulate the #zxspectrum colour clash effect using HTML/CSS, which means I can make more Speccy style games using my own React-based game engine! 💪 #webdevelopment #javascript

I'm working on a series of concrete based textures, which interchange nicely. So far I have 16. #pixelart

I'm trying out some rough concrete textures. How's it looking so far?

🎉 I'm drawing texture again! The latest version adds 18 new textures, taking the total to 388!

It adds some gruesome, bloodied, wooden door variants, broken fences, some dirty steel beams, and more pebbles and cobblestones.

Almost 2 years ago I launched my first game on Steam! It's an adventure game that recreates the #zxspectrum aesthetic that I loved as a kid! 🤖⚡️

In BEEP'S ESCAPE you help a little robot escape captivity, by solving challenging puzzles!

I find that a long walk up in the hills is always the best way to get the creative juices flowing! I have so many fresh ideas when I'm out amongst nature.

I've not drawn any new textures for my retro texture pack in a while. Maybe I should do something about that. Any requests? #pixelart #gamedev #doom

Overreact, my first mobile app launched for iOS today, featuring a collection of (somewhat frustrating 😆) button-based mini games!

And a huge thank you to everyone who helped with testing and providing feedback!

(Android coming soon, I'm just waiting on the review process) #ios #gamedev

Over the festive break I've been tinkering with a new project: I'm building a mobile app (iOS and Android) jam packed with lots of button-based mini-games, using my own web-based game engine!

If you're interested in testing it out, drop me a message! Thanks!

This afternoon, with a couple of hours of spare time after prepping for Christmas dinner, I fired up my laptop and started my festive side-project!

Merry Christmas folks! 🎄🎉

Cover art for Beep Boop. Logo by me, artwork by John Henderson! It's so beautiful, really capturing the 80s/90s cover art style. 🤖😍 #retrogaming #pixelart #indiegame

I think I'm enjoying social media again, for the first time in well over a year. ☺️

And I have an excuse to repost stuff! Like these, from my retro texture pack (link below) #pixelart #gzdoom #gamedev

The 40-level demo of my latest game "Beep Boop" is out on Steam. 🤖🎉

It's a Bubble Bobble clone with a few twists of its own. Go check it out!
