My copy arrived recently. But it’s a Xmas present for me so I have to wait until then to open it. 😭

A nice collection of #C64 games to showcase. Some new, some a few weeks old and some yet to be released.

“Paint me like one of your French girls.” I was drawing this card from a photo reference and looked up to find this kookaburra watching me.

I haven't posted much but I've continued to work on infe2tation. I've got all the levels finished now except for polish. Working on music and front end stuff, menus etc. #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit #retrogame #indiedev #indiegame

Thanks for sharing Mike! So cool to see this since I haven’t had a computer that can run the MacOS version in a very long time.

Initial title treatment for infe2tation. #c64 #commodore64 #commodore #8bit #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame

Wolfing Reloaded is the featured game title in episode 7 of #C64 Quickload.

🎉 We did it! CoffeeCupArcade is now a YouTube Partner! The demoscene is thriving, retro is roaring, and SID chips are singing louder than ever. Big ups to everyone who tuned in, shared, and believed. Let’s keep this pixel party going! 🕹️ www.youtube.com/@coffeecupar... #Demoscene #CoffeeCupArcade

I've been watching Alien: Earth. It's been nice to see this guy from Turrican II get a supporting role.

I realised after I made this that it’s like a role reversal of Impossible Mission. I wasn’t thinking of it when I came up with the concept, but it was probably in my subconscious. 😅

I don't really enjoy making boss fights, so I thought what if instead of boss fights infe2tation has a mini game where you get to play as D3P-UT, your robot sidekick! There'll still be an end boss to finish the game. What do you think? #c64 #pixelart #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame #gamedev

I've been rewatching The Mandalorian with my son and realised my Infe2tation code could very easily be repurposed for a Mandalorian C64 game. So did a quick mock up. #starwars #mandalorian #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit #grogu #razorcrest

Somehow I am only just discovering Public Service Broadcasting (@psbhq.bsky.social) via their album, The Race for Space. Quickly becoming a new favourite band. Hope they tour Australia some time in the future! publicservicebroadcasting.bandcamp.com/album/the-ra...

The latest #C64 Quickload episode is out. Some gems to be found in this episode.

Awesome set up!

Starting working on the 3rd area of infe2tation. Watch out for the guards, they fly now! #c64 #pixelart #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame #gamedev

Time for a little bit of quality for our #C64 machine. Here is a video showcase on the newly released Tyrian's Tower. youtu.be/j8MAYYMPUXg

Bargain!

I started work on the GFX for the 2nd area of Infe2tation: the crystal caves. You can also see the plasma gun power up in this. Enemies are still from earlier levels, they will change. #c64 #pixelart #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame #gamedev

It’ll be a little longer before the latest issue of FREEZE64 makes it to Australia, but I’m loving seeing it getting into the hands of subscribers in the UK! Thanks for featuring infeZtation Vinny.

Thanks for checking out an early build of Infe2tation @retrogamernation.bsky.social!

Buy a PETSCII tshirt from Cal, because they’re awesome and he’s awesome. Just look at them!

It's been a minute between updates on infeZtation 2 (aka infe2tation). I've designed the first 10 levels, added lots of info to the HUD (graphically it's WIP), power ups, scoring, some more enemy types, lots of bug fixes. Development is going well, lots more to do! #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #retrogame

Coming May 2025 FREEZE64 issue 75 featuring the fabulous INFEZTATION by Monte Boyd. Plus - Julian Rignall, Karl Hörnell, Gary Antcliffe, Chris Stanley, Golf Dash EX, Buffalo Round Up, and Games We Typed In. Plenty of New & Exclusive #Commodore64 #C64 freeze64.com/freeze64-iss...

Very excited for this! The previews Vinny has shown me look fantastic!

Perfect for a futuristic racing game! Superb stuff as always Cal.

Cheers @bastichb64k.bsky.social!

Time for another episode of the latest games and news for the #C64. youtu.be/Po02YutBZ_M

Get equipped with explosives! Great for clearing crumbly rock that's getting in your way. At this point I'm undecided if the explosion should do damage to the player, it doesn't right now. #c64 #commodore64 #retrodev #retrogame #8bit #runngun #pixelart

😍

Really looking forward to this one!

Over the weekend I added a bat enemy type, lifts and WIP music+SFX. Needs more music and SFX, this was just to get it working. Took some shuffling of some scroll code to get the timing right. #c64 #commodore64 #retrogame #8bit #pixelart #indiegame

Stress testing bigger levels with lots of enemies. Obviously have to spawn them in as you travel around but happy with it so far. Still some bugs though, spot the moon walking bad guy! #c64 #commodore64 #retrogame #pixelart #runngun #8bit #indiegame #solodev

youtu.be/I3WUlUT3oPM?... #ngof #infeztation for #c64 Fantastic and science fiction game . Try it

Excited for all these issues equally! Well, almost. 😂

Thanks for playing infeZtation!

Would you play an infeZtation sequel if it looked a bit like this? Playing around with a different style. If infeZtation was Tiny Turrican, you could call this Chibi Turrican! #c64 #commodore64 #retrogame #pixelart #runngun #8bit

#C64 Quickload Episode 2 is now out with some of the latest news and game releases.

First episode of RGN #C64 Demo Party is a showcase of the most visually appealing submissions to Fjälldata 2025 youtu.be/rYoNk0ab3UA

Ready to go. I'll add it to the store in the next couple of days.

Take a look at this little diorama @pixelmemories.bsky.social has been cooking up for infeZtation! 😍 I really need to sort out my C64 cave (really a corner) to do justice to it.

Here is a game showcase on the second part of this weekend's double header release by the Icon64 team - Avalan for the #C64 youtu.be/IlOemgWaJoU

A revised format of delivery #C64 news and releases through RGN. Episode 1 on C64 Quickload is now out.

And thank you too Vinny!

Happy New Year everyone! Here's my progress on this one: collisions, shooting, entity behaviours, HUD. Still not proper gameplay yet but you can shoot the blobs and and collect them to make your potions. #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #retrodev #8bit

Thank you Dan! And Happy New Year!
