A lazy Sunday morning! Drinking coffee, about to get coding on #Outrun #PETSCII on #C64 and of course reading the latest issue of @FREEZE64 while wearing my new #Commodore baseball cap!

Update! #OutRun #PETSCII on #c64 is only a couple of weeks away from beta testing! After the final release of the game, it'll be back to work on #CHILL3R! See the early version of the map layout for Stage 2 (Creepy Castle - 4 screens wide, 3 high). @EC64

I'm being a little cheeky! Please help my daycare nursery, Little Chums, win some books for the children!

Please follow the link below and vote for 'Little Chums' in the list! Please pass on the link to family and friend too!

@hollowone My Grandsons show constant fascination with the 'old stuff'! The oldest even has some projects under his belt, with his own entry on CSDb!

Two Grandsons staying over tonight. Room with an N64, Dreamcast, Playstation's and XBox's. What did they choose? My game 'Spheroid' on #amiga and the latest build of #Outrun #PETSCII on #C64! Good choices! @EC64

I quite like Mastodon, but I'm now also on Bluesky. If you're on that platform, give me a prod and I'll follow back!

I've not released a playable demo, but you can see a build from a couple of months ago here:

Work progresses on #Outrun #PETSCII

I'm meticulously recreating the level data from the arcade version for the #C64 using the excellent 'Layout' application and a spreadsheet!

Tough going but will hopefully be worth it!

@EC64 @c64

@PypeBros There's a brief overview of the game, but the real treat is a 12 page interview with the creator Paul Norman. There will be further info from Paul in the next issue as well apparently.

@hollowone Yes, freeze64.com, a C64 fanzine.

Reading the latest issue of FREEZE64, great stuff! Can't find my 'Forbidden Forest' original, but 'Morpheus' and 'HM Paradroid' by the fantastic Andrew Braybrook get a mention inside, so here are my originals of those instead! #C64 #commodore64 @freeze64uk

First proper test of OutRun PETSCII on real hardware (C64c, 8580 SID, SD2IEC and Konix Speedking) primarily testing the disk loading system and SID detection code.

Need to loosen the collision detection a little as I can't complete the first stage at present!!!

Something not by me for a change! Here's a video of a test build my young Grandson's new game 'Motor Dodger'. Coded entirely from scratch in PureBasic, no 'creation' utilities in sight!

He wants to add more road surfaces, more obstacles and maybe car upgrades.

Thanks to those people who donated on Itch to his last game 'Space Trash'. With the money, he bought some music and sound packs which he's used in this project!

Please support him with positive comments!

My enjoyable weekend continues! Development on #Outrun #petscii has slowed a bit due to me losing some confidence, so I cheered myself up by ordering a new custom mousemat from Rhayader Computers.

Thanks for the excellent service!

I received my latest copy of FREEZE64 fanzine last weekend, but have only just had the chance to read it! Another great issue to add to all the other fantastic issues!

OutRun PETSCII update video on YouTube here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEUs1bJK9p8

Game now has all three tunes from the arcade game included! You can hear Sean's version of 'Splash Wave' playing!

Collisions are now switched on - bumping another vehicle slows you down and hitting a roadside object causes a roll!

Top status panel is working, along with *some* of the bottom panel.

@playmedusa The C64 game is full PETSCII, includes 3 tunes from the arcade (which the original port didn't), road forks (which the original port didn't), all correct routes (which the original port didn't), etc, etc.
