I'm not easily offended but I just got asked if I was using a slop bot to write my latest game and now I feel the need to go punch an old lady in the face.

Currently working on combat in the 128K game, got bored of tweaking numbers and ended up making a funky little explosion animation.

1988 is going to be a bit trickier on the Spectrum than it was the Master System, I guess I'll bring out the random pickler again

A new tactical combat game for #msdos has been released! #StarCadre Team Command puts you in charge of a squad of elite operatives in the far future, conducting special missions on behalf of an interstellar civilisation. Get it from cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-t... #ibmpc #cga

A collage of screenshots of Star Cadre: Team Command against a background image. The background images shows the K-53 modified fighter craft in the foreground, that takes the away team on their missions, on a landing pad beside its hangar, with planting around, a city scape behind, mountains in the far distance. The screenshots are all in 4-colour CGA. They include: the title screen which is a 4-colour version of the background image, a mission taking place in an industrial complex, and the personnel screen where a new recruit is being added to the team.

Getting in a little time to tinker with the 128K space game, ship fabricator is now up and running (mostly).

RT if you love farming engagement. Like if you’re not fussed. Comment if you have something to say. Ignore if you like smearing marmite up your arse.

Continuing with dipping my toe into 128K, this was a crashy mess that's taken me 2 days to sort out... Gonna be a long process this I reckon 😆

I'd rather I had released the game with an obvious bug that crashes the game. Instead, it had a bug which just ensures you start the game with particularly unpromising (and un-fun) starting prices. The worst kind really, coz now the 50 people who kindly downloaded it might just think...bleh. 😒

Well, this is awkward. I was sat with my completed game for 5 days before releasing it. And a couple of hours before releasing, I decided to delete an essential RANDOMIZE command. Which ruins it. So this is the REAL file! Sorry!! saucerbrain.itch.io/silk-road-tr...
