Infe2tation is out now! monteboyd.itch.io/infe2tation The galactic sheriff is back to unravel the Mystery of the Crystal Moon. Run ’n’ gun action with massive levels, varied enemies, 4 distinct areas, fun power ups, and a mini-game featuring robo-sidekick, D3P-UT! #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit

--=#> AVAILABLE TO BUY <#=-- FREEZE64 issue 89 featuring the great Shaun Southern is now available to buy from freeze64.com/freeze64-iss... Also includes CCRAP games, SID-tunes, hidden messages, POKES, dev diary, Front Line map, John Rowland, Julian Rignall + MORE! #Commodore64 #C64

Looks like it’s shaping up to be a great issue! 😁

Update: not really a rogue-like because the plan is to save character progression, but it will be all procedurally generated dungeons/caves. Collect the crystal ore for crafting weapons, spells etc between levels. Find the enemy with the key to unlock the exit. #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #pixelart

Thanks for playing Bry!

Here's what I am working on but I'm not sure where to take it next. I am keen to hear ideas. I would like to make it rogue-ish (no saving, start from zero every game), and use procedurally generated levels. But aside from that I am open to thoughts. #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #pixelart

I’m waiting for my print copy to wing its way to Australia, but if you don’t already subscribe to FREEZE64 then I highly recommend checking out this free issue PDF.

“Paint me like one of your French girls.” I was drawing this card from a photo reference and looked up to find this kookaburra watching me.

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? #c64 #pixelart #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame #gamedev

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. #starwars #mandalorian #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit #grogu #razorcrest

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! publicservicebroadcasting.bandcamp.com/album/the-ra...

Awesome set up!
