Imagine Worms but set in Spectrum-themed levels with Spectrum-themed weapons, like Eric's bomb or a giant issue of Crash landing. stephensmith.itch.io/jetsetboom

I'm in the process of recreating Lode Runner, but with randomly generated levels. Can you complete them all?

Thanks to Steve Day's graphics, I'm currently working on a C64 -themed version of Atic Atac 3D.

I particularly hate AI when it's used as an auto-moderator on forums to remove posts.

Very earlier test of Sabre Wulf 3D. And I'm lost already!

A new update of Atic Atac 3D, now with a direction indicator showing where the nearest part of the ACG key is. stephensmith.itch.io/atic-atac-3d

Stephen Smith @stevecsmith.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

I'm adding a "direction indicator" to the closest piece of the ACG key in Atic Atac 3D, but I don't know if it will make the game too easy?

Stephen Smith @stevecsmith.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

I have it on good authority that the latest version of Atic Atac 3D works on a Mac! And also the new update has an ending arguably better than the original! stephensmith.itch.io/atic-atac-3d

Seeing if darkness and shadows in Atic Atac 3D makes it look even spookier.

Atic Atac's non-euclidean map layout is giving me headaches. And there's trapdoors too.

Stephen Smith @stevecsmith.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

That looks great. I did something similar myself a few years ago, though PC not BBC.

Space Invaders! Again! However, in this version you control the invaders! I'm having trouble thinking how to give it better gameplay though. #godot #indiegamedev #gamedev

Currently working on a Bugaboo type of game - can you get to the end of the level in time? Lots of scope for showing some classic Spectrum levels. #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum

I've had to use two websites today that only worked with Chrome and not Firefox. Is it 1999 again?

Time Squad update! Someone went and actually sent me some cash for this game, so I've been morally obliged to add new features: Grenades, 3 difficulty levels, a level selector, and an extra level! stephensmith.itch.io/timesquad

Stephen Smith @stevecsmith.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

This is not an Asteroids remake, honest.

Stephen Smith @stevecsmith.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

WIP of some kind of modern Asteroids remake I'm working on, including black holes. As with most software projects, there is no spec.

In Stellar Forces (a Laser Squad remake) you can watch the playback of all your missions. Here's a playback of the classic The Assassins mission. Sterner is the big yellow circle! www.stellarforces.com

Sometimes the internet is great. I was reminiscing about an old very basic dungeon crawler I played from the early 90's, so I googled "msdos freeware dungeon", and it was among the first images. Dungeons of Drakklor!

One of the less straightforward missions in Stellar Forces involves fending off Weeping Angels (yes, shamelessly ripped off of Doctor Who). It makes for an exciting game though.
