I have made the decision to move our games from Itch[dot]io over to Patreon as @itch.io have had our payouts "in review" since last August with no response to the issues raised. Our games are now at www.patreon.com/cw/DESIGNchaos #gamedev

More progress on Invasion Anarchy for the #amiga - I drew a single frame of an alien to test with, wrote the alien sequencer, score and text code. No collisions defined levels or sound yet; In this video I pulse the background where the sequencer should be playing a sound.
Finished writing the weapon systems for Invasion Anarchy on the #amiga. The new system is only limited by the number of hardware sprites I want to use and should give me a bit of flexibility in adding extra weapons to the game, something missing from the #c64 version.

Invasion Anarchy for the #c64 has had quite a bit of work done since the last preview, so here is a new one. The music is still not final, along with a little difficulty tuning but it is close to release #gamedev #commodore64 youtu.be/neYX4Y9eggQ
