I haven't posted much but I've continued to work on infe2tation. I've got all the levels finished now except for polish. Working on music and front end stuff, menus etc. #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit #retrogame #indiedev #indiegame

Thanks for sharing Mike! So cool to see this since I haven’t had a computer that can run the MacOS version in a very long time.

I've been watching Alien: Earth. It's been nice to see this guy from Turrican II get a supporting role.

I realised after I made this that it’s like a role reversal of Impossible Mission. I wasn’t thinking of it when I came up with the concept, but it was probably in my subconscious. 😅
I don't really enjoy making boss fights, so I thought what if instead of boss fights infe2tation has a mini game where you get to play as D3P-UT, your robot sidekick! There'll still be an end boss to finish the game. What do you think?

I've been rewatching The Mandalorian with my son and realised my Infe2tation code could very easily be repurposed for a Mandalorian C64 game. So did a quick mock up.

Somehow I am only just discovering Public Service Broadcasting (@psbhq.bsky.social) via their album, The Race for Space. Quickly becoming a new favourite band. Hope they tour Australia some time in the future!

I started work on the GFX for the 2nd area of Infe2tation: the crystal caves. You can also see the plasma gun power up in this. Enemies are still from earlier levels, they will change. #c64 #pixelart #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame #gamedev

Buy a PETSCII tshirt from Cal, because they’re awesome and he’s awesome. Just look at them!
You may know me as a #PETSCII artist, but what you might not know is that I also slap a bunch of designs (PETSCII or otherwise) onto shirts and stuff over at www.teepublic.com/user/petscii

It's been a minute between updates on infeZtation 2 (aka infe2tation). I've designed the first 10 levels, added lots of info to the HUD (graphically it's WIP), power ups, scoring, some more enemy types, lots of bug fixes. Development is going well, lots more to do! #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame
