@VirtualJames I love this minimalism.

Amstrad CPC BASIC 10 Liner game finished, I now just need to figure out if I can get a HTML5 wrapper for itch.io, and to do the instructions etc. It's been more challenging than I thought, fitting this game, as it says on the tin, into 10 lines of BASIC #Amstrad

Another piece of #PETSCII art for my #C64 game, Souls Savior. Creating the art has been one of the coolest parts of the game's development. Game's page here: tooizzi.itch.io/souls-savior #commodore #retrogaming

A short clip of gameplay from Souls Savior for the #C64 running on #THEC64 mini console. I'm currently at the stage of adding some game juice, and I believe the game will be finished within a week or two. #commodore #retrogaming

@VirtualJames Amazing! Congratulations 👏🏻☺️

Finally finished creating my #textadventuregame on the Sinclair ZX81. I won't win any design awards, or speed awards, but it's all mine and based on my friends awesome book. Now that's done I'll focus on more graphical systems, or maybe assembly #ZX81 amzn.eu/d/04riQm68 The map was really hard to code, as were the simple graphics. You'll need a wobbly (or not) 16k RAM expansion but this will work on the ZX81, ZX Next or emulators, I like Eighty One

The #C64 game Souls Savior will be filled with #PETSCII art and will be a treat for those who enjoy this art style. With each level passed, a new piece of art is presented to the player. Check the game's page here: tooizzi.itch.io/souls-savior #commodore64 #retrogaming

Souls Savior for the #C64 now features a new splash screen, and this one is here to stay. All the artwork was created completely in PETSCII.​ tooizzi.itch.io/souls-savior #commodore #petscii #retrogaming

Handmade artwork for the game Souls Savior for #C64. Created with graphite pencil on paper and colored with colored pencils. No AI involved, in the most authentic homebrew style. See this artwork on the game’s itch io page at: tooizzi.itch.io/souls-savior #commodore #retrogaming

@VirtualJames It's great to know you are getting better with basic for Atari. I hope to see your game ready 😊

@rvertulo It's been great watching this game develop. Thanks for sharing. In other news, I now think I've got to grips with basic on the 2600 woo hoo! I get hardly any errors compiling now, it's just a matter of making my game any good! 😅

Update on Souls Savior for #C64… I’ve changed some sprites and created an opening screen, which is still just a draft. The game is almost finished, but I still need to make a few small adjustments to gameplay balance and overall presentation. #commodore #retrogaming

This is an initial “draft” of the opening screen for the #C64 game Souls Savier made using PETSCII. I’m still not satisfied with the result, and it will certainly change a lot. #commodore #retrogaming

@VirtualJames Thank you... The Atari is one of the most difficult platforms to program for, even using Batari BASIC. The hardware limitations demand a lot of knowledge and creativity. That's why I consider games for this platform to be true works of art.

@rvertulo This is brililant Rodrigo. I'm wondering why I chose the Atari 2600 for this basic 10 line challenge! Even with Visual Studio Code and Atari Dev Studio, I'm struggling!

Souls Savier for #C64 update… now we have Stage Bosses, and I can guarantee it’s not easy to defeat them! The game will feature six stage bosses, and overcoming all of them will lead the player to the end of the game. #commodore #C64Reposts #retrogaming

More updates on Souls Savier (#C64)! Backgrounds look better and gameplay feels balanced, but I'm still tweaking it. Planning to add dropping power-ups and maybe a boss fight soon. #commodore #retrogaming #C64Reposts

@brewotakumag Thank you ☺️

@rvertulo Gameplay and graphics both look good 👏

I’m developing the game SoulsSavier for the #C64, and this is the project’s current state. All graphical elements are temporary and are being used only so I can test the gameplay and mechanics. #C64Reposts #commodore #retrogaming

@VirtualJames Thank you ☺️

@rvertulo It’s looking really good mate. Keep it up

@VirtualJames I like it. Keep going. ☺️

I needed a break from debugging my text adventure games for ZX81 and C64, so I thought I'd try the Atari Dev Studio in Visual Studio Code. I take the crown from ET for the worst Atari 2600 game ever, but it's a start! Not bad for an hours work #Atari

FishLane is an #Atari 2600 game. Inspired by the classic Tapper with the core mechanics adapted to a sport fishing theme. Would you like a real cartridge of FishLane? I’d really appreciate your feedback. #indiegame #retrogaming #atari2600 #gamedevlife

@VirtualJames Thank you! :)

@rvertulo Very well done Rodrigo

FishLane version 1.2 for the Commodore 64 released. It has interface refinements and gameplay rebalancing. The pacing can get quite intense at times, pushing player harder than before. tooizzi.itch.io/fishlane-for-c… #commodore #c64 #C64Reposts #gamedev
