Zyphatron's teleport sequence is now complete. On this project I'm looking to complete features as I do them, rather than improve the features with subsequent iterations. Might work, might not. #zyphatron #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate bitglint.co.uk
Today I gave my little browser based Space Invaders clone a new lick of paint, just because! It looks a bit more authentic now. Free to play at bitglint.itch.io/retro-invaders #IndieGameDev #spaceinvaders #unity
Today I am mostly being once again crap at Underwurlde...wait...no...this isn't Underwurlde this is Undrium!? youtube.com/watch?v=c-1eQI… @BitGlint #ZXSpectrum #Retrogaming
Today marked the official start date continuing the conversion of Melkhior's Mansion to the ZX Spectrum Next. I will keep you updated on the progress over the coming months...👻9bitcolor.itch.io/melkhiors-mans…
Playing with some of the new tile graphics from @hot_piping. Still far from the finished look, but coming along nicely. #zyphatron #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate bitglint.co.uk
Back on this PlayDate project. Graphics are starting to appear from pixel supremo @hot_piping and I've started work on the robot interface sub game. The game is called Zyphatron. #zyphatron #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate bitglint.co.uk
I've been on a game dev sabbatical in recent weeks to work on something a little different. It's a website for creating event countdown timers for, well, anything really. Just for fun. It's almost finished, give a go at: countingthedaze.com #countdown #event
This never really got finished, but it's still quite usable. It's a modern browser based version of my old Spectrum Graphics Editor utility, for browsing and editing graphics in Speccy snapshot files. Available at bitglint.co.uk/sge #zxspectrum #spectrumgraphicseditor
Added more movement intelligence to the NPC robots in my new Playdate project, and also made the whole play area visible, just for testing, but it actually looks quite good. Might keep it like that. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate bitglint.co.uk
More work on the new Playdate project. Better player movement, rotation and animation. Also got the NPC robots moving around, all be it in a very basic way. All graphics are just placeholders. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate bitglint.co.uk
My new Playdate project is progressing well. Maps are created using the excellent Tiled. Rooms can be either small static areas, or larger scrolling areas. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate bitglint.co.uk
Lost track of how many YouTube videos I've uploaded in recent years that chart my game dev progress, so I've had a sort out and started using play lists. Subscribe if you like seeing this sort of shizzle... youtube.com/@bitglintgames…
OMGOMGOMG...! Up to 256 sprites *per layer*, from 8x8 to 32x32, 16 palettes, flip, mirror, window clipping, scrolling, sprite groups... ON A ZX Spectrum! (or MicroBeast, or RC2014 or any 8-bit CPU with a bit of addressable memory). @BitGlint 's Undrium running on VideoBeast
I've just released my first Playdate project, a little experimental Space Invaders clone called Retro Invaders. If you have a Playdate, and want some simple shooty fun then download it for free from bitglint.itch.io 😎 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate
A demo of my recent project, Blackford PI, is now available for Windows, Linux and Mac. It's a retro styled isometric solve 'em up type thing! Download from bitglint.itch.io/blackford-pi #blackfordpi #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric
A demo of my current project, Blackford PI, is now available for Windows, Linux and Mac. Not sure what the future of the project is yet, just wanted to get to this milestone. Download from bitglint.itch.io/blackford-pi #blackfordpi #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric
Crazy lights demonstrating a reworked lighting system. Rooms are lit by static lights and entities can have many light sources for slightly more interesting shapes. It's 2D sprites, so it'll never be ultra realistic. #blackfordpi #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric
My new game project now has a name and new home. Now I just need to add a large dose of effort to actually get the thing done. 😋 #blackfordpi #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric bitglint.itch.io/blackford-pi
The reception area at Midtown Design Bureau, the company being investigated by super sleuth Clarence Blackford in my current project "Blackford PI", inspired by the likes of MOVIE, Contact Sam Cruise and Spellbound. #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric #blackfordpi
