Haha, I'm in it too now!

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

Making progress in "Dungeon Decks" for #ZXSpectrum. Minimap working, with wondering monsters appearing and roaming freely, triggering combat when they meet the player.

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

I'm seeing posts from people who bought the physical edition of SCION saying they haven't been given access to the digital download. If that's the case for you, please either DM me or contact @bitmapsoft to get your digital copy! #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming #8bit #speccy

Just look at this stunning box art by KEEZEES! So proud of this collaboration 😁😁😁 #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming #8bit #indiedev

Finished writing my 2nd and 3rd pieces for @crashmicro.bsky.social this month. One left to go, but for now I'm settling down to have a little play of Arlo by the excellent Packobilly! #zxspectrum #retrogaming

Thanks @merman1974.bsky.social for a very nice preview of SCION in Retro Gamer this month 😁 #ZXSpectrum #indiedev #retrogaming
February 8, 2025 at 12:06 PM
Yes yes yes!!! SCION master tape has arrived and it's working perfectly! @bitmapsoft.bsky.social we are GO for production! 😁😁😁 #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming #indiedev #8bit

Haha, exactly! If you're gonna complain about jerky scrolling in your 8-bit games, boy do I have the solution for you! 😂
February 4, 2025 at 5:42 PM
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

🚨Woohoo!!! The first review of S.C.I.O.N. is in and it's a doozie! Thanks so much to Planeta Sinclair for this amazing 9 out of 10 score!!! 🙏😁💪 #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming #indiedev #8bit
February 1, 2025 at 2:45 PM
🚨🚨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? 😁
January 26, 2025 at 2:17 PM
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
January 24, 2025 at 12:43 PM
WOOHOO!!! S.C.I.O.N development is FINISHED!!! Now to send it to Bitmapsoft to be published. 6 months of hard work comes to an end. What a relief! 😁🥂 #zxspectrum #retrogaming #indiedev #pixelart #retro #mpagd
January 16, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Thanks to the mighty Joe Olney, SCION for the #zxspectrum now has a main theme! The game is extremely close to completion - just a bit more music and playtesting to go! Coming VERY soon! #retro #indiedev #pixelart #retrogaming
January 3, 2025 at 3:30 PM
The fantastic Joe Olney will once again be providing the music for my latest game on the #zxspectrum. Here's a sneek peak at one of the tunes he's been working on for S.C.I.O.N! #retro #indiedev #retrogaming 😄

Man, I just love being part of the Speccy community right now! Eight - EIGHT! - brand new games reviewed in Crash this month! Happy days! #zxspectrum #retrogaming
December 13, 2024 at 9:29 PM
Just for fun, here's a speedrun of the 6-month development of my #zxspectrum multi-directional scrolling algorithm from initial concept (created in an Excel spreadsheet!) to the current version! 😎😎😎 #retro #indiedev #pixelart #retrogaming #mpagd
December 5, 2024 at 1:02 PM
Good morning #retrogaming people! I'm making progress creating the later levels of my new #zxspectrum game, "SCION". Here's some footage from the swamp environment. What do you think? 😄 #indiedev #pixelart #retro
