Been tinkering with the title screen and screen transitions in Melkhior's Tower. More info about the game in the devlog: itch.io/dashboard/ga...

Retro Gamer magazine with Melkhior’s Mansion on the cover.
Aces to see a Melkhior’s Mansion screen on the latest Retro Gamer subscriber cover. The love that went and is still going into the making of that game could power a 1st world country for decades.
You’ll also see those characters again soon as they’ll be appearing in Melkhior’s Tower.
In Melkhior's Tower, Lester the Serf will have the special ability of being able to fire weapons. More info in the devlog: itch.io/dashboard/ga...

Each object in Melkhior's Tower now has a weight property. This is to facilitate Sir Stamperlot's special ability of strength. #melkhiorstower #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

My new Playdate project, Melkhior's Tower, has a new home on Itch, where I'll post more frequent dev updates to avoid spamming the socials with too many updates. #melkhiorstower #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Started working on locked chests in my new game, Melkhior's Tower. Clues to the combination will be hidden somewhere around the place, and only Princess Ashby will be able to crank the locks. #melkhiorstower #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Levels in Melkhior's Tower (as it's now called) will be traversed via one way trapdoors. Not quite as easily as the video shows, this is just a test. 😀 #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I worked on the score and message system for my (not-so-small-anymore) mini-game. There’s now a countdown at the start, a silly remark when you crash, and praise plus a big bonus for reaching the finish line.

Bit of a longer gameplay video that shows progress so far on Melkhior's for Playdate. Merry Christmas.🎄 #playdate #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Character collaboration will feature in many of the puzzles in my new Melkhior's Mansion spin-off for the Playdate. A quick turn of the crank switches between characters.

Tackling blocked doors in my new Melkhior's Mansion spin-off project for Playdate. I need to give this game a name, and start posting more updates.

The Melkhior's Mansion crew are coming to the Playdate. It's not going to be a straight conversion, it's going to be a different game, featuring graphics from the original by the awesome pixel artist @craigstevenson.bsky.social

Still playing with this, but going in no particular direction. It's just fun seeing the Melkhior's Mansion characters come to life on the PlayDate.

A knight, a hobby horse, and an obstacle. That’s already enough elements for a mini game. Let’s see if I can cook up something fun out of it …

Another project I'm tinkering with is a possible PlayDate exclusive Melkhior's Mansion spin off. Very early days, but it looks really neat on the actual device.

Zyphatron's teleport sequence is now complete. On this project I'm looking to complete features as I do them, rather than improve the features with subsequent iterations. Might work, might not.

We're utterly thrilled to announce that "Return to Blacktooth: A Head Over Heels Adventure" is coming soon to Atari ST & Amiga!
Get ready to dive into Colin Porch's epic sequel, a game almost 40 years in the making!
#HeadOverHeels #JonAndBernie #Fish
Playing with some of the new tile graphics from @craigstevenson.bsky.social. Still far from the finished look, but coming along nicely. #zyphatron #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk
I also don’t really do much social media these days either, and feeling all the better for it! I also recently installed Blender so learning that in my free time, which I have a lot of these days. It feels good!
Well, pretty much, aye, but I couldn’t turn this bad boy down. Semi-retired. However, chunky 1-bit robots, Andy! And with thicc outlines.
I mean, I couldn’t say no! I also get the chance to do 1-bit chunky pixel-y robots!
Back on this PlayDate project. Graphics are starting to appear from pixel supremo @craigstevenson.bsky.social and I've started work on the robot interface sub game. The game is called Zyphatron.
#zyphatron #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk
Why Yes! Yes I do too!
Added more movement intelligence to the NPC robots in my new Playdate project, and also made the whole play area visible, just for testing, but it actually looks quite good. Might keep it like that.
