Programmer by day, thinks about old games a bit too much by night by making videos on them.

Existentially tired and here for interesting games talk, and not quick dunks or s*itposting.

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines ! With Ninjas and Golf! Together at last!

Ninja Golf might be seen as a joke by some, but it's blend of golfing and punching action makes for a fun time…

…even if I might have wanted a touch more sophistication in the golfing (as a treat)…

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines!

Revisiting Heart of Neon (amongst other things) recently gave me a itch to revisit the modern Llamasoft library, which felt like the time to explore it and get re-acquainted with some modern mayhem!

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines - with Heart of Neon available for digital/streaming, I thought it'd be a great idea to do a quick bit on it, and hopefully convince y'all to check it out!

YOU SHOULD GO WATCH Heart of Neon! Seriously!

Don't think I've shared anything about my racing game thingy here in a while.

Made improvements with the computer AI (though I'm still constantly poking at it) and replaced the HUD with something less coder art (and is readable on smaller screens).

Plus a little slipstreaming as a bonus.

Been lucky to made progress the last few weeks before I lose a bunch of spare time.

Thankfully the codebase isn't in midst of a refactor.

DUNGEONS OF FREEPORT IS OUT!

An Extraction Roguelike Dungeon-Crawler for Linux, macOS and Windows - you and every other player get the same procedurally generated dungeons to delve into each day!

Have you gone delving yet today?

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines

Crystals of Zong is one of those early #C64 games which takes a concept from the arcades and offers a new neat twists for those playing at home - in its own unique way compared to others of the time.

NEW VIDEO!

May be a little Late to the Party in covering it, but Musketeer for #C64 is a charming swashbuckling adventure which harkens back to those early Datasoft efforts.

Its only downside is that it's a little too brief…

Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines !

#Roguecraft DX not only expands upon the Amiga update to Rogue64, but it brings it over to the #GBColor and more excitedly, the #mega65

So time to get back to the dungeons and see how a 16-bit upgrade is squeezed onto some 8-bits.
