I've spent the last few evenings working in SpriteNext, my sprite editor and metadata management tool for the ZX Spectrum Next. It is a MacOS application based on Sprite64, the #commodore64 sprite editor I wrote for Freaky Fish DX. I now have created most of the sprites, palettes and other metadata required for Invasion Anarchy so I can proceed with the level waves and game progression. #gamedev #zxspectrumnext
Here's a preview of Invasion Anarchy for the ZX Spectrum Next. There is a lot of work to do to get this over the line, but it is mainly game-stuff now, the engine is working nicely. #zxspectrumnext #gamedev #indiegame
I have made the decision to move our games from Itch.io over to Patreon as @itchio have had our payouts "in review" since last August with no response to the issues raised. I am not thrilled with Patreon either but at least they are not developer hostile. Our games are now at https://www.patreon.com/cw/DESIGNchaos #gamedev
We’re about to release our 81st issue of #FREEZE64.
The other 80 issues plus 3 specials are still available to buy from: https://freeze64.com/issues
So — if you would like to learn about historical #Commodore64 game development, then look no further.

Current Status: researching if Snapchat Restores can be considered a business expense
I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have an original cartridge or an original rom of the game "Harald Hardtand" aka "Harald Hardtooth" for the #Commodore #C64?
(Not looking for the csdb Easyflash version).
Please boost/share.

More progress on Invasion Anarchy for the #amiga - I drew an alien to test with, wrote the alien sequencer, score and text code. No collisions, defined levels or sound yet; In this video I pulse the background where the sequencer should be playing a sound.
Finished writing the weapon systems for Invasion Anarchy on the #amiga. The new system is only limited by the number of hardware sprites I want to use and should give me a bit of flexibility in adding extra weapons to the game, something missing from the #c64 version.

The first version of Retrospecs was released in the App Store eleven years ago today.

To celebrate the anniversary, you can unlock the full version for $0.99 / £0.99 / €0.99 for the next week. 🥳

Feel free to spread the word.
