I haven't added them to the caverns yet, but they're in the upper rooms.

Venturing into the caverns in Atic Atac 3D.
More work on Atic Atac 3D, with the emphasis on "stairs".
Messing about with #Godot VehicleBody. It might turn into a Stunt Car Racer type game. #gamedev #indiegamdev #amiga
Just a reminder that if you DON'T want GitHub to use your code used to train AI, you need to manually opt-out!
Space Invaders! Again! However, in this version you control the invaders! I'm having trouble thinking how to give it better gameplay though. #godot #indiegamedev #gamedev
More work on my eventual Tomahawk remake. #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum #indiegamedev
Itch already has an "AI Disclosure" field when publishing a game, although it's all down to honesty. I assume users can then search for only non-AI games.
I remember Bruce Willis being in an episode.
Is it Maze-Ogs or Maz-Ogs? Is it Maze-I-ackS or Maz-icks?
I only ask because I'm unsure of what I should be screaming. Now they're running at me in 3D!?

It's amazing how many service companies like insurers or holidays ask you to leave a review after you've paid them, but before you receive the service. "Yes, they were great at taking my money".
Working on a helicopter game, planned to be a remake of Tomahawk but I know it will probably change into Krakatoa. #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum #retrogaming
I've just released Super Bugaboo Race Time Challenge!

I found this with the Harry Potter films. I'm not a massive fan but I thought I might as well, but the continuation is ridiculous. One second he's a hero, then he's back to breng disliked by almost all adults.
How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far:

I've now created 3 levels for Super Bugaboo Race Time Challenge. #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum
Currently working on a Bugaboo type of game - can you get to the end of the level in time? Lots of scope for showing some classic Spectrum levels. #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum
If you haven't read The Wind in the Willows and you think you know what it's about, let me tell you โ you are wrong as HELL. It's the weirdest kids' book I've ever read, but @eleanormorton.bsky.social loves it.
New episode of Eleanor & Alasdair Read that out today! linktr.ee/readthat
Thanks a lot. Using Godot probably makes it easier than it seems (not saying it was that easy though :) )

Been tinkering with the title screen and screen transitions in Melkhior's Tower. More info about the game in the devlog: itch.io/dashboard/ga...

Or Cuba?
Yeah, that does seem to be the bets choice! Lots of nice colourful backgrounds to destroy!
I think I may have to replace my R-Type gfx with a more obscure retro game, what with Irem and Activision both still being around and feeling litigious. Suggestions welcome!
Working on a shoot'em-up with destructible scenery and enemies. Got some "placeholder" gfx in it at the moment. :) #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum
Age verification? I've almost finished a gamedev project I started.
The deadline for responding to this consultation (about whether we should shovel even greater heaps of bureaucratic misery onto immigrants in the hope of pacifying racists) is midnight on Thursday 12th:
Somehow they've done it. The new #Overwatch update has made the pre-and-post game UI even more convoluted and difficult to use.
Probably my most popular game to date: Manic Destruction. stephensmith.itch.io/manic-destru... #zxspectrum #retrogaming #retrogames #indiedev #madewithgodot #gamedev
