When you've been remaking a version of Xenon and you'd made a new version of the old music, it seemed a shame not to have a go at a remake of Megablast

I don't think I've shown just... gameplay. Like, without a reason. So here. 50 seconds of gameplay of my game.

Latest update Xenon video. Game balance needs a lot of work, level design, power ups etc. Still need to update the enemy attack wave code, and loads of other bits! And I thought I was close!

Thought I'd share some music I've written, styled to be in-game music

I like Driving beats, orchestral strings, epic sounds and general electronica, most of my music has a soundtrack vibe to it because I like that sort of thing, That more or less covers the kind of thin

this is @robfarley74.bsky.social rather cool homage to Jet Pac for the #zxspectrum 👨‍🚀🌌🚀 #indiedev #indiegame turbowarp.org/759670752/fu...

Time for a 3rd rewrite of enemy attack waves... When stuff just doesn't work quite right I can't let it slide!

Whilst playing with random stuff on my desk during a teams meeting (tiny plastic hand and a drill bit) I inadvertently recreated an iconic image from blade runner. #bladerunner #tearsinrain

Just to let you know I'm still alive, real life is getting in the way of progress, but here's a screenshot to show you I'm not dead!

We have electro-zap things now!

Well, to say "that's a bit annoying" would be a marginal understatement, my "level load" code works flawlessly, however the "save level"code writes the first row of the level in all rows of the level, therefore I have now lost my test level! Bums! #indiedev #retrogames #xenon #remake #gamedev #retro

I've just had an idea of using the background tiles to draw explosion shockwaves by adjusting their brightness up and down... Not sure if it will work but if it does it might look quite cool... Or utter crap!

Writing the end of level boss code... it's pretty much an entirely separate mini game! But it needs to seamlessly flow from the main game and back. I didn't expect this to be as challenging as it is!

So put the Boss into the project and it moves about and the turrets move... Still need to make it shoot, animate the "brain", and get shot, but pretty happy with this so far.

Finished drawing the boss, manually upscaled the level 4 boss from the original Xenon, recoloured, reshaded, added extra detail, 4 directional mounted turrets as well as huge forward facing lasers to inflict maximum damage... Now time to make it work!

I don't know if this interests anyone... But here's a short video where I talk a bit about the editor I've written to create the levels in my Xenon remake
