OMG, I'm so excited! This vid may not look like much, but for the 1st time ever I've achieved a genuine multi-load on the Speccy! This unlocks so many new possibilities- larger games, animated intro\endgame sequences, etc WOOHOO! 😁😁😁 #zxspectrum #indiedev #retrogaming

Throwing this out for fun: Anyone fancy getting a credit on a published #ZXSpectrum game? I need enemy sprites for my game but I don't enjoy creating them. Each 2 frames of animation, 16x16 and 32x16. Example below. No money, just for fun! #pixelart #indiedev #8bit

People being rude about the scrolling in SCION. "Jerky", "Slow", "Jarring". Ok wiseguys, let's see you do better. I made this in a couple hours this evening. Yes that's 6 layers of parallax on #MPAGD on a goddam #ZXSpectrum. Beat that if you can! 😝 #retrogaming #indiedev #8bit

🚨🚨QUESTION for #AmstradCPC folks: I released #Knightmare for the #ZXSpectrum last year & people asked for a CPC port. I know nout about the CPC, but I've done this quick-n-dirty version of the 1st 3 screens. Should I persevere? Is there enough interest to make it worthwhile? 😁
