Apologies for anyone who tried to download Wor Games only to find there were no executables! No idea what happened but I've rebuilt and copied the files to itch.

THORWOR (Wizard of Wor)
Pipe cleaner figure
Finished. I like the electric blue venom sac beneath the stinger

Pipe cleaner frame with acrylic paint, fun foam, and wooden eyes. Stands 2" (5.08 cm) high at the shoulder.

Two pipe cleaner figures I am currently building. The first is a black featureless Mothman with pterodactyl-like wing fingers and a blue chest. The second is a Thorwor, a red monster with a reptilian head, arthropod legs, and tail stinger. Each stands 2" (5.08 cm) high.

The Thorwor sprite

A Mothman and a Thorwor. Which is a scorpion/lizard hybrid from Wizard of Wor. Which is a videogame I fell in love with and inspired me to become an artist. Also a videogame that came out likely before your parents met.

Although #pacman type levels are scattered throughout my #picotron #wizardofwor game "wor games", I decided to add a game mode so all levels have pellets and eggs.

Need to have 4 separate high-score tables now!

Did some serious 1p (plus CPU) testing today. I'm rubbish 🤣

#gamedev #arcade #pico8

Any level can become a #pacman style level in my #picotron #wizardofwor.

Power-pills (or eggs) spawn in corners which looks like it makes things easy. But, all is not as it seems; I have an idea...

The highly chaotic "wizard of wor".

That's all until early Jan since I'm off on holiday for a week. Feels like I got the main bones in place for when I get back!

Well, that was a fun challenge! Maze effects now implemented for #picotron #wizardofwor with a pretty minimal CPU cost. Pretty happy with that.

Next, the wizard!!!

#gamedev #retrogaming #arcade

Double score dungeons in my #picotron #wizardofwor game. Starting to feel authentic.

Need to do the fuzzy maze effects next. Think I'll need to read up on picotron video memory!

Testing out 2 player mode with my daughter in #picotron #wizardofwor. Great fun and, with some sfx in place, you can really feel the tension!

Thanks for shooting me straight away, Soph 🤣

Proper player sprites (no more piggies 🎉) for my #picotron #wizardofwor like game.

Started sound-effects too, which makes a huge difference to the feel!

#gamedev #arcade #retrogaming

Quick session on my #picotron #wizardofwor like game before work. Radar and invisible monsters! Certainly raises the tension!

Next, firing enemies or maybe player sprites - pigs look cute but not for this game 🤔

#gamedev #arcade #pico8 #retrogaming

20 minutes before work so quickly added a star field and player start state to my #picotron #wizardofwor project.

Should probably look at updating the player sprite next 😀

Retro game for tonight: Wizard of Wor on the (batocera) Commodore C64. Cracked 1984 by Oleander.
Pacman meets Galaxian...

The @Arcadeshop switcher adapter totally fixed #WizardOfWor. Will clean this up tomorrow and bring her inside.

The #WizardOfWor was putting out 13V DC on the 5V DC line. The -5V and 12V were perfect but no wonder the game was acting so weird. Adjusting the potentiometer did nothing to help. I’m gonna try the ArcadeShop adapter first.

Tonight I took the #WizardOfWor power supply parts and mounted them on a piece of wood I had lying around. Game is resetting and the sync is off. I’ll see what happens when I use a test pattern generator tomorrow. Also gonna get a switcher adapter. Game works at least!

Target acquired. 5 hour return drive commencing after a @Whataburger pit stop. #wizardofwor #ballymidway #classicarcade #vintagegame

Uh guys... The Wizard is coming!
