Xenon 2 Mega blast Reworked A remake of Mega last by bomb the bass... went on a bit of a voyage finding some of the original samples!

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.

Xenon Remake Progress (4th August 2025) YouTube video by Rob Farley

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!

I made a retro homage to Jetpac a while back...

Cyclone 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

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

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

Rush Rally Origins 🚗 - You Need This! 🛣️🏁 YouTube video by RealGenericDemon

i played Superspec Rallycross last week, this week it is another top down old school racer, that we all need from a single #indiedev 🚗🌲🏔️ #indiegame youtu.be/scCxRmnvG0k

You're more than welcome to take this up with someone who's prepared to have an argument about it!

This looks awesome! Although I'd prefer it if the camera always tended towards a chase cam. I did this for my badly drawn racers game

Regardless, I'm referring to sprites as a bunch of pixels that move about on the screen, regardless of software, hardware, or interrupt software sprites!

This isn't being written for an Amiga, it's on PC, just a retro Amiga style with extra whiz bangs!

Lots of colours and the res kinda depends, but it's designed in 480x360, mostly 16x16 tiles, most sprites, side cannons. turrets etc are 32x32

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

Pleased you liked it! Did you spot exolon, starquake and lunar Jetman in there too?!

This was my little tribute to JetPac... turbowarp.org/759670752/fu...

Looks awesome, reminds me of Super Skidmarks on the Amiga

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

I'm getting there, should have a fresh video soon. Then there's just the nightmare of level design and game balance!

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!

#indiedev #retrogames #xenon #remake #gamedev #retro #atarist #amiga

Got to get Xenon to a mostly finished state first!

I'm definitely going to write a big ass horizontal shooter at some point, wide screens suit horizontal shooters so well!

Look what I'm working on!

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!

#indiedev #retrogames #xenon #remake #gamedev #retro #scopecreep

Should have a fresh video out in the next couple of days, very exciting I know!

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!
