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. #melkhiorsmansion #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

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 … #pixelart #gamedev #animation #gif

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. #melkhiorsmansion #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

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. #zyphatron #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

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 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

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. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

My new Playdate project is progressing well. Maps are created using the excellent Tiled. Rooms can be either small static areas, or larger scrolling areas. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

Yup, barrels stored ✅ #ZXSpectrum #MelkhiorsMansion

Got myself a Playdate, it's lovely! This isn't a real project, just wanted to see what the awesome graphics by @craigstevenson.bsky.social look like on the device. #melkhiorsmansion #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate

There's a joy in hand-drawn maps..

Rewritten all the existing popup dialogues to use common functionality for the fiddly effects, making future popups and whole loads easier to implement. @craigstevenson.bsky.social #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric youtu.be/xx972n2_wyE

More work on the popups to make them feel lovely. It's fiddly, and time consuming, but well worth the effort to ensure the interface doesn't feel hard and abrupt. @craigstevenson.bsky.social #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric #screenshotsaturday youtu.be/gEJC2GlDkEc

Adding some nice tactile effects to popup windows, including transparency, animation and wibbly bits. Love doing this sort of thing. @craigstevenson.bsky.social #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric youtu.be/uCyrs2fMN38

Here's Mr Placeholder's world using a CRT shader created by @Jjagg_dev. Been stripping out some stuff I don't need to use, and by some miracle (given my sketchy shader skills) it still works! 😯😀 @craigstevenson.bsky.social #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric

Mr Placeholder takes a walk around his new, exciting looking world. Shame he's not long for this place! @craigstevenson.bsky.social #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric youtu.be/qzndfsDuQp4

Mr Placeholder's days are nearly up! The world around him has evolved into actual game graphics and it won't be long before he gets the chop. Pixels courtesy of @craigstevenson.bsky.social. This is starting to feel like a real project. #gamedev #monogame #indiedev #pixelart #isometric

I have absolutely no new artwork to show, so here’s a couple of oldies. Unused portraits of Steve Mayles from Platonic and Rare. Done in 2 resolutions, these bad boys were originally produced for Bitmap Books’ SNES/Super Famicom: a visual compendium.

Testing, testing...

Completely forgot I did the graphics for an endless runner for fashion giant Louis Vuitton, a gane that could be played on all their stores worldwide. This was the original mock-up. #pixelart
