I’m a dad, I love retro (especially Atari ST), I build stuff, AI helps me get shit done, and I believe in a thing called love.

This is what I'm building right now and I'm super-proud of how it's coming together. Not sure how well it comes over in the video but I've really put effort into making everything feel just right.

So I thought I'd show off the level editor I've been working on for Bomb Bloke, my puzzle game running in an Amstrad CPC464 mode 0 style on modern hardware. Let me know what you think in the comments. I can't wait to see the levels people build.

@ButtonsNSticks I will be happy to take people’s money once business bank account bullshit is sorted and Steam is up and running. Game is currently fairly complete in mechanics and level editor, just need to get graphics and sound right and make a bunch more levels.

Anyone else think Eurovision was a bit crap tonight? Yeah I know it’s always a bit crap but usually you’ll get 3 or 4 bangers. Not tonight. And the UK entry was clearly the BBC deciding they really didn’t want the expense of hosting.

Good stuff. Once I navigate the fucking omnishambles that is business banking in the UK I’ll crack on with Steam and spend some time wrapping my head around achievements, workshop, etc - will save only the interesting strategic questions for you rather than lazily using you as a human google.

As a solo indie dev, in recent hard times I've been in the darkest places. Now well out of them, but if anyone needs an ear reach out. Gamers be kind, devs- together we are stronger 🫶

@games_rozz Yeah I’m not daft. Got a mortgage and kids. My business MO is low risk low investment of cash where I know my skills can make up the difference. Mind if I hit you up for tips at some point on Steam etc?

@brockpierson Nobody Brock. Nobody has ever played this game. Sad to say you’ll get very few replies because nobody will even know anything about this game.

I'm not against fundamentally accounts that do the "are you this old?" etc. (everyone has to make a living). I just find it incredibly boring. The scene has always thrived on creativity, not repetition 🫶

@games_rozz I remember seeing the screenshots in ST Format and thinking it looked cool as fuck. Unfortunately I was poor and hadn’t discovered piracy.

Rock band Weezer releases its third, self-titled album. One track, “Island in the Sun,” is a hit.

@TheMekon_Venus I only played the ST Format cover disk demo as I was poor and hadn’t discovered piracy. It was very pretty, I won’t deny that, but it was a terrible game. Admittedly maybe the other mini games were better? The demo was just the hoverboard bit.

This Amiga game was a bit of a disappointment. Ever since I was a kid.. I loved the movies. So on Christmas morning as a kid.. this came as part of the Screen Gems Amiga pack. The digitised shots of the Deloreon flying off were cool. But the gameplay was frustrating. Did anyone like it?

Decent week of progress on BombBloke. Got mechanics working and a decent level editor and some levels. This weekend will be quieter as I feel rough as hell with a nasty cough and only had 4 hours of sleep last night. What remains: - sprites - music from a real Amstrad - more levels - probably some extensions to the trigger tile - Steam integration I look forward to seeing what you make with the tools once it’s out there.
