Uuuh, #gridrunner von #llamasoft. Cool! I love that game.
I had it on my 32-bit #apple #ipad back then in a special version that was so much fun, and after Apple switched to 64-bit, it was gone forever. I have a PC-version which again is completely different, and one for PS4 ...
First video clip of my #picotron #gridrunner game. Demoing the massively overpowered double ghost-ships.
Some zones have an invisible grid and instead show a star field which seems to work pretty well, especially when used in conjunction with the phoenix-type bird enemies.
#gamedev #retrogaming
QOL feature for my #picotron #gridrunner; you can now see where the patrollers will fire next (which you could in Llamasoft's iOS version)!
Also some power-up text effects which make things even more arcadey!

"Slow-down" power-ups in my #picotron #gridrunner game.

Okay, I think that's all the enemy types done for my #picotron #gridrunner game. Now seems chaotic enough!
Re-used my #phoenix birds & added saucers, both of which poison pods so when a centipede hits it, it turns into a trailer which move erratically down the screen.

New power-up type for my #picotron #gridrunner game.
Extends the play area the player ship can move.

My #picotron #gridrunner game now has a title screen and a highly original name: grid rider 🙄
Starting to come together. Want to work on the "mystery" mode level generation next but have a few more enemy types I want to get into place first.
Oh, and sfx, can't wait to get those it!
#gamedev #c64
For no reason whatsoever, I decided to name the modes in my #picotron #gridrunner after ice creams!
A bit incongruous with the space-shooter theme but... video games 🤷♂️
"popsicle" is a bit of an outlier being an American term but it conveyed exactly what I wanted: beginner mode!
#gamedev #c64
Level selection (data based on my #pico8 levels) in place for my #picotron #gridrunner game.
This is "vanilla" mode (the power-ups are just tests in this mode at the moment).
Can't wait to get some meaty sfx in place!
#gamedev #retrogaming #c64 #arcade
Trying a few effects for my #picotron game. Simple stuff. Nobody compares to Jeff Minter for this stuff so I'm not even gonna try 😃. Thinking of having 2 game modes. One, a kinda classic #gridrunner, the other an enhanced version (power-ups, effects etc).
#gamedev #arcade #retrogaming #c64
Stackable powerups (e.g., ghost ship + rapid fire) in my #picotron #gridrunner game.
#gamedev #retrogaming #arcade
Poison pods make the centipede segments bounce around the screen in my #picotron #gridrunner game. A bit like Matrix I think. Certainly gets the heart racing! Just need to figure out how the pods turn into "poison pods" now.
#gamedev #c64 #arcade #retrogaming
Testing out "ghost ships" as a type of power-up. Massive increase in fire-power but pretty fragile!
Next, some non-grid enemies. Maybe bouncing segments like Matrix and also some #centipede inspired enemies.
#picotron #gamedev #gridrunner
That's the main grid portion of my #picotron #gridrunner game in place, including full-size sprites that look suitably early 80s (to my eyes).
Have added some of the nicer touches of the iOS version like flashing pods and flashing/pausing trackers at the sides. Can't wait to add some sfx!
#gamedev
#picotron #gridrunner session before work. Firing and variable top-limit line (power-ups or different levels will vary this?).
My #pico8 version was limited to the grid but this one will have both grid and non-grid (free roaming?) enemies hence had to re-do bullet logic.
#gamedev #retrogaming #c64
Gradually scaling up my #picotron #gridrunner to look more like an early 1980s arcade game. Still many place holders and tiny sprites in there at the but I like the aspect ratio.
#gamedev #retrogaming #arcade
In a bit of a dev slump at the mo so have started porting my #pico8 #gridrunner to #picotron. See if I can build on it. Got the basics over in a single session. Uses cellular automata. No idea if the original did but seems likely since it was so fast!
#gamedev
Flawless symmetry in neo-gothic abstractional hypermodernism. Stippling, glitch effect, filigree AI rendered electronics concept art.

Taking a looking back to last year, we reviewed #Gridrunner by @stinkyox.bsky.social and wanted to know how well the #Mastertronic re-release of the #Llamasoft classic for the #Atari stacked up against the other versions of the game... mastertronic.co.uk/game-review-...

#picotron Jetpac Defenders now has centipedes on a few special levels. Loved both #gridrunner and #centipede so really wanted to include something similar.
Have killed 2p performance so will need to address that next. Otherwise, main gameplay is now complete!
