You don't have to pay a licence fee if you just watch Netflix etc...

Tbf I fundamentally disagree. The BBC is one of the best things we have in the UK.

I assume we all remember the classic Speccy game Alien Fiend, which is well overdue a modern remake: youtu.be/Gz_41UwrCNM

I've just tried Cursor for the very first time. Entered my first prompt and got: "Too many free trial accounts. Please upgrade to Pro." Maybe I chose the "Hard Upsell AI model"?

Undrium seems to be getting a bit of love at the moment, according to the download figures. Not sure why, but seems like an excuse for a shameless plug. #undrium #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #zxspectrum www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJgG...

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've tested all possible variations of the random map generator, so this can now be shipped! stephensmith.itch.io/load-runner

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

Yeah, they look more like Amiga sprites!

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

Dear YouTube, I'm not remotely interested in any video with the word 'Reacts' in the title.

The one on the right looks like a remaster of a Dire Straits video.

...and the worst thing is that even the human mods usually can't tell you why it has deleted a post.

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

The only options are "YOUR NAME" or "SOMETHING ELSE". Nothing else (and I don't mean "NOTHING ELSE").

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

In my quest to find the nichest of the niche, I've created an online multiplayer version of Atari's Combat. stephensmith.itch.io/multiplayer-...

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

I haven't seen it, but is she sure she isn't speaking to an AI?

Stephen Smith @stevecsmith.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I'm thinking of starting Sabre Wulf 3D, but won't that just be lots of wandering around a large maze avoiding enemies? I'm not convinced it will make a good game.

That's what the sword is at the bottom-right (although that's not particularly obvious!)

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
