“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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
