Update: not really a rogue-like because the plan is to save character progression, but it will be all procedurally generated dungeons/caves. Collect the crystal ore for crafting weapons, spells etc between levels. Find the enemy with the key to unlock the exit. #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #pixelart

Here's what I am working on but I'm not sure where to take it next. I am keen to hear ideas. I would like to make it rogue-ish (no saving, start from zero every game), and use procedurally generated levels. But aside from that I am open to thoughts. #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #pixelart

I’m waiting for my print copy to wing its way to Australia, but if you don’t already subscribe to FREEZE64 then I highly recommend checking out this free issue PDF.

I haven't posted much but I've continued to work on infe2tation. I've got all the levels finished now except for polish. Working on music and front end stuff, menus etc. #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit #retrogame #indiedev #indiegame

I've been watching Alien: Earth. It's been nice to see this guy from Turrican II get a supporting role.

I realised after I made this that it’s like a role reversal of Impossible Mission. I wasn’t thinking of it when I came up with the concept, but it was probably in my subconscious. 😅

I don't really enjoy making boss fights, so I thought what if instead of boss fights infe2tation has a mini game where you get to play as D3P-UT, your robot sidekick! There'll still be an end boss to finish the game. What do you think? #c64 #pixelart #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame #gamedev

I've been rewatching The Mandalorian with my son and realised my Infe2tation code could very easily be repurposed for a Mandalorian C64 game. So did a quick mock up. #starwars #mandalorian #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit #grogu #razorcrest
