This is how the briefing scene for my #Aliens game is coming along. Lots to do, including coming up with another 128 bars of briefing music, but you get the idea. I am hoping Hollywood will be on the phone soon, in awe of my dialogue. #IndieDev #MadeInUnity #Lv426 #GameDev #Aliens1986

The Booze and Fags Minor Update I’ll be the first to admit that The Corridor has been neglected of late. There are two reasons for this, both an extension of what I mentioned in the Bunker Busting update . First, I’m doing a lot...

and heres the devlog, you saucy sailor: doginatank.itch.io/thecorridor/...

The Corridor: A Search For Dave by Dog in a Tank ​A post-apocalyptic story set on a motorway just south of Leeds in an alternative 1991.

An update (minor) to the Corridor at blooming last! doginatank.itch.io/thecorridor #IndieDev #CYOA #TextAdventure #Inkle #AdventureGame #SoloDev #FreeGame

There haven't been many requests for the Corridor, but I imagine if there had been, one of them would be: "I would really like to see the table I am sitting at in Colin's." In the upcoming update, your wish becomes true — it's just a shame you're imaginary. #GameDev #GameArt #TextAdventure

Still chipping away at the testing on my Aliens game, but realised I've neglected The Corridor (See pinned post). So, giving that a push along. This is a scene that will be set somewhere in the Hinterland... #Procreate #Wip #TextAdventures #IF #CYOA #IndieDiv

Wunderbar out now! song.link/Wunderbar

We borrowed a classic from Tenpole Tudor.
We tipped it from major to minor,
threw in the kitchen sink,
kidnapped a coloratura soprano.
This is how it sounds a la Chance & the Lucky Aces.
Es gibt wirklich ein Wort im Deutschen, das alles sagt.
Wunderbar.
Preview now.
Full track tomorrow.
#Wunderbar

ProjectSam have some great bundles for weird shit like this. I've tried to find things that wouldn't feel out of place in the original score.

I am still in the land of testing for my #Aliens game, but here is how the opening title sequence is looking and sounding. #LV426 #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

7 days to go. 🥃
First sneak preview of Wunderbar is here.
Hold on to your whiskey.

The list of deep dives that I am working on

I've started writing a series of deep dives into Geoff Crammond's epic #BBCMicro game The Sentinel.

Here's the to-do list.

I will post a link here whenever I add a new one to thesentinel.bbcelite.com

It's going to take a while! But it should be worth it...

#retrocomputing #retrogaming #c64 #8bit

Lots of debugging is going on at the moment, and therefore, nothing exciting to report. Here is how it is looking behind the scenes. #Aliens #MadeInUnity #IndieDev #GameDev #LV426 #Unity #SoloDev

Sensible strategy. I keep a Tam o' shanter in my bottom drawer for emergencies.

Another cracking video and how I imagine Snorker's wardrobe must look!

In the original #ElectricDreams #Aliens, the map shows a few clearly marked exits. I assumed they were meant to be the easy way out.

In my version, those exits are gone. Replaced with escape is an illusion and, as Newt so perfectly put it: “Everybody dies.”

Welcome to LV-426.

I am always amazed at the travel budget on @whathosnorkers.bsky.social videos, must cost a fortune!

I don't think I have done too badly trying to imitate his underpants- very early version of the introduction

I was originally planning to use the portraits from the original #Aliens game - I had my eye on the CPC versions. However, I thought I would create more work for myself (why do I keep doing this!!) and create my own. #WIP portraits in glorious 64 by 64. #asesprite #gameart #indiedev #pixelArt

Deconstructing James Horners #Aliens score, so i can do my own take for my game. I admire his use of 'riser underpants' - I highly suspect there is also a g-string pad in there too.

A happy home is a Weyland-Yutani home.

Hanging out in the Queens Chamber, testing the new AI. It's all fun until someone loses an eye. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #Aliens #LV426 #QueenAliens #FaceHugger #8Bit #UnityGames #GameDemos #SciFi #zxSpectrum #Ripley #Jamescameron

Happy New Year to all. I am working on the AI today. A problem I have is that the aliens tend to come up behind the player, which doesn't make for a great experience. Hoping to create some pathfinding so they block your route - if that makes sense #IndieDev #LV426 #Aliens #GameDev #AI #Pathfinding

OK, very rough, but it's taken a bloomin' amount of effort. There is now a full briefing scene, and here is a snippet. I am expecting a phone call, any moment now, from #RidleyScott offering the job of writing the next #Aliens film. #LV426 #IndieDev #GameDev

Doing some field research @horsforth brewery #beerandbytes. The #saturn alien trilogy has nothing on my game

Not much to report on my nod to #Electricdreams #Aliens as I am in that horrible, boring, tidying-up phase. However, @samcoupe.com , you will be pleased to hear that there is now head bobbing. #GameDev #IndieDev #Lv426 #Alien #RetroGrames

This sucks.

Just a quick interlude before I dive back into working on my Aliens game. Save this date in your diary, because it’s when my band’s next single lands. Of course, you’ve already listened to our last EP, but if you haven’t, you can find it here. album.link/s/7coi6BRCoT...
