Spectrum Computing

Sounds interesting, has this been shared anywhere yet or just a private project?

In no particular order:

• Finish Knockabout.

• Do full games / more levels with the code I developed for Twelve Days and Black and White Christmas.

• Write something with proper moving sprites.

• Start on my Spectrum Next game

• Finish off Brexit: The Final Countdown.

Bob the Space Janitor can wait for a bit.

Both games have been worked on to finish them off but Brexit: TFC is in most need of finishing and can be done quickly.

I do also have the GPD Win on the way, so that should help with the dev side of things.

It hasn't been shared anywhere yet but I'll probably post something about it when I've gotten the engine to a usable state for real game development. Right now, the base graphics routines and script interpreter have been written, fully debugged and are ready for use, but the more complex bits like the redraw manager and the user interface manager still need to be implemented and then tested.

Now that Lost In My Spectrum has been 'rebooted', I want to apply the same treatment to Apulija-13 and Funky Fungus. With a better AGD at my disposal, and the experience I accumulated in the past few years, I am sure I can make them better and more enjoyable than ever

Happy New Year folks!

Soooo, how did we get on? Here are mine from 12 months ago in this very thread...

-Make a text adventure, or some mixed text icon driven adventure game

Nope.

-I should probably finish Edge Grinder now that I've released a demo!

No.

-Make something I can call my masterpiece

Nope. Though I released some stuff that I was fairly pleased with.

-Complete Manic Miner (on bread and water, no cheating)

Failed.

If I manage one of these I'll be happy

Argh!

But I'm afraid I won't

How did you get on? If you did manage to complete it I hope I haven't burst your bubble by revealing that I completed it years ago, without cheating as well.

I'm afraid it'll be my 2019 resolution again...

You have 3 days remaining....

I supposed I did all speccy 2018, or at least I hope with only two days to finish but for 2019 resolutions...

- Play speccy games
- Try to learn how to make better games
- Play more speccy games
- Make at least one game
- Continue to play speccy games

Well, looks like procrastination wins again
