Last two weeks of the #DOSember game jam! Think this is about as optimised-for-a-386 as it's going to be, just need to bash out a bunch more levels and fix the many, many bugs... #retro #jankyshareware

Controversial opinion:

Windows 3.x and earlier are just DOS apps and therefore should qualify for #DOSember projects.

Recently I released #Barbarians for #msdos, a simple strategy game about repelling a barbarian invasion in ancient times. This release was for the #DOSember Game Jam, a 3-month game jam for MS-DOS preceding the month-long DOSember streaming event for 2025. The rules stated that picking up "abandoned projects" was allowed, and Barbarians for MS-DOS was a project I'd put aside at the end of 2024; the jam was the perfect time to pick it up again. https://cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos #gamedev

A screenshot from the recently released Barbarians for MS-DOS. It uses a similar layout to the versions ZX Spectrum and some Psion pocket computers. A central main map is surrounded by various information panels: on the left, information about the empire as a whole, on the right, information about the last referenced map square, and underneath, the game's name and a one-line prompt and menu display.

I've now submitted my entry for the #DOSember Game Jam 2025. I've ported my Psion & ZX Spectrum game #Barbarians to #dos, as usual aimed at the original #ibmpc with #cga graphics. Download it from https://cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos

Haha. I signed up!
I hope I can manage to stream for more than once a week. But I’ll keep everyone updated :)

I did #DOSember with many from this community, thinking maybe, maybe I finally found a home, people who care especially about mental health because so many were giving time and labor and funds to that #charity event

Literally weeks away from the eviction in March 2024 this #charity about "awareness" and all these assholes who claimed to care about #suicide showed their asses

The CGALIB music editor is still a work in progress, but I'm looking forward to using it for my #DOSember game jam entry. Transcribing sheet music into this will be a lot easier than typing a bunch of numbers in a text file, like I did with my previous projects.

The work-in-progress "maketune" utility for CGALIB. The music is the start of a transcription of Schumann's Sketch in C minor for Organ or Pedal Piano.

jumped into the #dosember game jam this year with "SkyGuard" again since I basically have to start the project over anyway lol

Made a pretty major choice for my art direction thus time, using midrange 3D modeling and rendering software that I had as a teen and leaning into the '90s indie shareware game aesthetic.

So it's 5 days into the jam now, and I've got a bunch of non-placeholder sprites and animations—enough to fully implement the basic game loop!
Still need to do some palette conversion work and get the assets integrated into the DIV2 project, which is the last manual step before starting in on the code. Unfortunately, that's still a couple hundred images to click and drag and possibly reassign transparent values in, one. by. one.

The keyboard letters are backlit in magenta and the numbers are backlit in teal.

a 3D render of a helicopter-esque sci-fi cockpit constructed of bone seemingly grown as the structural component, with a status screen embedded into the calcifierous material in the center and resource status gauges colored neon green and pink arranged on either side.
The cockpit is in front of a perfectly blue background to facilitate easier conversion for transparency in DIV2

Dabbled a bit with QuickBasic 4.5 today - hoping this will become something for the Dosember DOS Game Jam 👀

This is it! The conclusion of Deadline! My final stream of #DOSember! https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

Photo of me wearing a DOSember shirt and holding up a pamphlet that says “Deadline” on it. Text says “robotspacer presents Troubling Tuesday.” Below that is a screenshot of the game, showing wihte text on a black background. Text at the bottom reads “Deadline, MS-DOS, 1982.”

Last week I finally got in to the secret room! So uh… now what? Deadline continues and #DOSember is forever~ https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

An overhead photo of a desk, with a map from the game on top of it. The map shows a crosshatched, ink drawing of a magnifying glass over a sheet of fingerprints at the top. Below is a blueprint-style drawing of the first and second floor of a house. On the right are inset images of me, resting my chin on my hand, and the game, which is white text on a black background.

I'm back for 2025. I'm going to talk about how I fixed Commander Blood after all the issues during the new years stream. Also play it I guess! And warming up with Labyrinth of Zeux hopefully! Streaming now! https://twitch.tv/sonneveld #DOSGaming #DOSember #Twitch #Streaming #Retrogaming #retro #Retrocomputing #DOS #MSDOS
