We begin this year's #MODtober uploads with a proper little roller. Taken from the game Eugatron, it earned its name when Korruptor (the original developer) requested the player's collision box be shrunk by 1 pixel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae0e...

Bit of a cheat, but I'm re-using a load of the stalactite code from the ice levels to do an alien tentacle drop on the, umm, alien levels. Same thing, different look. I know it's cheaty, but I like it😅(And an obstacle for almost free!) #ZXSpectrumNext #RetroGaming #pixelart

After trading as iSyntax for many, many years, I've finally got round to doing something radical. Having a website. Apparently this internet thing is sticking around, so over the last few days I've decided to get involved. Have a nose: isyntax.co.uk

How about some slightly more positive Neo Geo AES+ vibes for your timeline today? My 2 hour chat with @Project_COE about how Zero Wing came to be and why the floor in Street Fighter is problematic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ddz...

I lied. Finished it up. Nicked the logos from STomps website because I’m slack like that. That passed some time whilst I was stuck on the sofa getting mildly annoyed at the IGF.

Quick video of the new Alien theme in game, I'm pleased with it! 8 more levels to build for spacepizza.co.uk then loads more play testing! Still feeling positive about it all 😊 #ZXSpectrumNext #RetroGaming #pixelart

Actually, really liking the new alien theme for spacepizza.co.uk so far! Started a 2nd alien level this evening too. I just hope people play through enough of the game when released to see them 😅 #ZXSpectrumNext #RetroGaming

Gary Pinkett @garypinkett.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Chatting with another dev today inspired me to add a new theme to spacepizza.co.uk to keep things looking fresh. I've been pixelling away at an "Alien" theme, and it'll fit perfectly between the labs and the boss level! Work to do, but so far I am quite pleased with it! #ZXSpectrumNext #RetroGaming

I came across a video by TJ Ferreira in a Speccy Next FB group and instantly loved his happy-go-lucky personality. I asked if he'd give a preview build of Space Pizza a go, and he said yes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyv9... #ZXSpectrumNext #RetroGaming

Needed a little break from Space Pizza this weekend, and I've been itching to try coding a pinball engine for the #ZXSpectrumNext. It’s still far, far from perfect, but I think it's a pretty good start! As much fun as this little detour has been, it's back to business as usual now :) #RetroGaming

While building a laboratory level I realised I could have some fun with mechanics that push the player around by adding 2 parameters to the object (push speed + distance) which I can then easily tweak in the tilemap editor :) spacepizza.co.uk #ZXSpectrumNext #RetroGaming

Just finished a new ice-themed level for spacepizza.co.uk It's a bit evil, but with concentration, good timing and remembering you have a shield to use, it’s beatable😅 Will this level be a "fun challenge" or "this has ruined my day, piss off Gary"😂 #ZXSpectrumNext #RetroGaming

A little context on Atomic Windmill: it’s a small publishing company I’m setting up with friends, initially to release my own games for retro and niche machines. First up is Space Pizza, my own game, coming Q4 2026. 🍕🚀

Spent some of this afternoon creating a nicer HUD for Space Pizza, this was one aspect I have been itching to change for ages! Before and after screen shots included… It’s not radically different but more polished, I feel.

Gary Pinkett @garypinkett.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

New obstacle in progress for “The Laboratories” levels in Space Pizza, a lift mechanic that should add some fun timing and movement challenges. Still tuning it, but it’s already feeling pretty good!

021

Gary Pinkett @garypinkett.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I added a repulsor to a new level I have been working on and one on its own isn’t too evil, either take it slow, use your shield or stay out of its range. I like it and think it’s an interesting addition to the game.

Gary Pinkett @garypinkett.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Currently working on a new annoyance / obstacle for Space Pizza. Needs tweaking but happy with it otherwise!

Gary Pinkett @garypinkett.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

For Space Pizza, I built a mid-game level today inspired by something from the real world, a hedge maze! I have a slight feeling this one might annoy players until they complete it and know the route, but I really like it! 😂 So, what do you think - keep it in or bin it? 🤔

VERY happy this morning! This is what the print run of Space Pizza SDs look like… I am so pleased with how my pixels have turned out on physical media ❤️ Thank you to @sanxion.bsky.social for handling the business side of Space Pizza for me! Coming soon for the ZX Spectrum Next
