Started modelling a Cessna style plane (around 600 tris atm). Been a while since I did any 3D modelling and I had fun with it. #lowpoly #gamedev #flightsim

Old gaming sales charts are fascinating. I wonder what the rights to Horace and the Spiders costs now.

Here are the computer hardware and software charts from November 1983 - PCN Magazine, UK. There were so many computers to choose from back then. Many disappeared without a trace, but the Spectrum, Commodore and BBC Micro sold really well. Great games available from Ultimate, Imagine, Bug Byte etc.

On Sundays we muck about and make Doom levels.

A screenshot of a custom map for Doom II (1994) with two imps approaching the player with obvious aggression that is surely unwarranted.

I'm glad Ade finally got to do some slapstick even if Alien Earth did turn out to be pretty turd.

My "Holy shit that's Ade Edmondson lol" moment was a little distracting and maaaybe one guy has a little too much plot armour, but he did get fucked up pretty bad even if he lived.

In 1992, after weeks of trial and error, I got Hyperterminal to connect my computer to a friend's so we could type messages and when I called the babysitter to come see, he wrote "hi bitch" and they took away my computer

Was in the mood for more CGA conversion work today. Hoping to get the whole front-end converted to support it by this evening. This screen is complete, so that's one down. Feels achievable! #gamedev #pixelart #lowpoly #flightsim
