Throwing this out for fun: Anyone fancy getting a credit on a published #ZXSpectrum game? I need enemy sprites for my game but I don't enjoy creating them. Each 2 frames of animation, 16x16 and 32x16. Example below. No money, just for fun! #pixelart #indiedev #8bit

Dungeon Decks is the work-in-progress 3rd game from Sausageware Games for the #ZXSpectrum! It's a dungeon-crawler/deck-builder. What do you reckon so far? #retrogames #8bit #mpagd #80s #90s #homebrew

Haha, exactly! If you're gonna complain about jerky scrolling in your 8-bit games, boy do I have the solution for you! 😂

People being rude about the scrolling in SCION. "Jerky", "Slow", "Jarring". Ok wiseguys, let's see you do better. I made this in a couple hours this evening. Yes that's 6 layers of parallax on #MPAGD on a goddam #ZXSpectrum. Beat that if you can! 😝 #retrogaming #indiedev #8bit

🚨🚨QUESTION for #AmstradCPC folks: I released #Knightmare for the #ZXSpectrum last year & people asked for a CPC port. I know nout about the CPC, but I've done this quick-n-dirty version of the 1st 3 screens. Should I persevere? Is there enough interest to make it worthwhile? 😁

We're getting very close to the release of S.C.I.O.N. now! The game code has gone off for tape reproduction. They'll send us a master which we'll check on real hardware before giving the go-ahead for the production run. Not long to wait! #zxspectrum #retrogaming #indiedev #pixelart #retro #80s
