Acid Web was just released! Buy or cry! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3190560/Acid_Web/

A version of Missile Command for the Commodore 64 where the bottom of your screen is the game state in memory and missiles cause memory corruption, which eventually causes you to lose: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=135463.

In the video below, a missile broke my controls and caused my cursor to move down and to the left so I couldn't stop other missiles.

@Louisa It’s a really nice song! A looking glass into the past

@fractilegames Agree! Unicorn Overlord which I’ve played recently has this and I didn’t like it.. But I managed to enjoy it anyway. Would’ve liked a way to turn it off though 😄

@efilheim Nice isometric style! The movement doesn’t look very gridbased, but maybe it is? 😊

Hi there! I'm Bernie, a game developer going solo for a while! If you like cute and tiny games (like my game Villager, link in bio), or good ol' retro-style pixel art, you should consider following me, there's a lot of exciting things coming! #pixelart #gamedev

During July; Septourian iOS will be on sale at a reduced price, and the Mac version will be free: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/septourian-desktop-edition/id6474075920

@gustav @SirLich Yes, a PICO-8 for 3D would be pretty cool 😊

I’ve been on the lookout for a portable emulator device with hardware buttons for a while, and on a whim I placed an order for a Miyoo Mini Plus. What I received turned out to be an entirely different brand and model (Anbernic RG35XX Plus) which was a bit disappointing, but it seems to work so far! So now I’m replaying Diablo 1 (PS1 version). I’ve replaced the stock SD cards which seems to be a regular point of failure, but we’ll see how long it lasts as the build quality is fairly poor..

I’ve been using Git for about 15 years now. It’s probably the only constant development-wise since then, and hard to see how I’d do without now as I’ve become so used to it. I can safely say that I do not miss the old days of centralised version control systems!

@yogthos If I don’t add arbitrary limitations I end up there 😳

While trying out the Trials of Mana demo I noticed to my surprise that you can set both voice and text to Japanese! I might play this game just for the practice 👍

Frankensteined around with some Makefiles this weekend. Still a bit of a mystery to me how they work, and I didn’t quite get the result I wanted so maybe it’s time to finally learn what’s behind all that black magic.

@eniko Just add some Blue Fields into the mix and you’re home 👍

Not much dev done this weekend. Working fulltime as a consultant leaves very little room for anything else. Still it’s nice to know that there’s definitely no lack of ideas or ambition, only energy.

@cailinkins Gnagula says hi 😻

I saw this online somewhere and I just had to recreate it. This is my coding happy place.

@simonash I’m sorry to hear that! I know it’s not for everyone, but sometimes such affliction is only due to one bad experience 😄

@simonash As a solo dev with coding as main focus, I thought I’d try to use some pre-made assets for this project to save some time 😄 Do you make games yourself, or would you like to?
