New blog post and a review of a spectacular release from @editions64k.bsky.social - tantobieinternettattler.blogspot.com/2025/12/psyg...

I wrote this huge, 3,000-word or so deep dive into the state of game actors’ contracts in the UK, which is a hot mess of exploitation, AI clauses and chaotic rate calculations. And no one read it. But you really, REALLY should. www.gamesindustry.biz/contracts-fo...

SAM City... 1 page of SAM Coupe news + reviews, plus 4 pages of SAMCo adverts/news. A nice read. SU also drops two mentions of Lemmings for SAM, it was one of the worst kept secrets but wasn't officially announced for another 18 months or so. We got both Lemmings and Oh No More Lemmings. #samcoupe

All ya want fer Christmas is me new fat book...

Windows 11 Companions for RISC OS youtu.be/MnC_zU7HpRk?si… See the basics of our Windows 11 Companions, and feel the potential!#RISC_OSOS#RISCOSCompanionsn#WindowsInWindowsInRISCOSOS

Interesting watch for #RISC_OS users from @adriansdigitalbasement.com about a month ago, where he tries out an A420/1 that was sent to him & learns a fair bit about Acorn history along the way. There's a follow-up video, but I'll save that for another day. youtu.be/zvv06jKcMtE?...

November 2025 News Summary www.iconbar.com/articles/Nov... Some things we noticed this month. What did you see?

“Charming cartoon spy adventure is frequently fun, though its unapologetically retro presentation may leave some feeling torn” AGH’s @little-writer.bsky.social review of Splittown adventuregamehotspot.com/review/5369/... #indiegame #adventuregame #pcgame

Want to find out more about the homebrew games featured in issue 276 of Retro Gamer (published in August 2025)? Read the Homebrew Extra blog with the full interviews with Sarumaru on The Nyanja (PC Engine CD) and the Champion Coder, Sandro Mestre on his Zezito games. /more

Here's my weekly sales pitch! :) Seriously, though - hard to think of a better Chrismas gift for a #gamedev or #indiegamedevelopers 😎 ko-fi.com/s/cbfc6bd357 RT🙏

New blog post and a perusal of the April 1985 issue of Dragon User - tantobieinternettattler.blogspot.com/2025/11/maga...

The Crimson Diamond is on sale for AdventureX! The event was one of the first times I showed TCD publicly and made me feel like a real game dev. It motivated me to continue onward. It brought me to London for the first time. What an adventure! ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/... #AdvX2025

Another very cool trilogy donation to the shelves, courtesy of Rodrigo Copetti! 🙏 📚 Tag someone who might be interested in architecture analyses of the home consoles of yesteryear 👇

I should have written more about Ex Novo following our successful KS campaign... Anyway, if you are interested in a city-building, history-crafting game for 1 to 4 players, you should absolutely have a look here: www.sharkbombs.com/games/exnovo/ The brand new 2nd edition is out now 🎲🗺️

Well now, there is a thing. An article on a type of tool I rather fancy, then I discover that it links to my own project in this area -- and my article about it...

New video uploaded: youtu.be/AuB1leFGihY Demonstrates how our RISC OS Companions integrate with the RISC OS desktop environment. #RISC_OS #RISCOSCompanion

New arrival and something I’ve been looking forward to since the Kickstarter from the minds of @sharkbombs.bsky.social and @konstantinosd.bsky.social.

Physical paperback copy has arrived - a reminder of my review posted last week - tantobieinternettattler.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Okay, finally I have a place to buy the new 2nd edition book 😅 ko-fi.com/s/cbfc6bd357 #indiedev #indiegame #selfpublishing #brokensword

Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: so clipped quad and tri polygons are now fully working.😎 I can probably optimise the code a bit further... Best thing is: not a single divide anywhere. All done with multiplies ('cos Spectrum Next has a handy 8 cycle MUL instruction).🥰 Next step: 3D line draw.

Disassembly (+ comments) of tape protection of Repton (Acorn Electron). Interesting protection measures. Hidden data in tape block headers is my favourite trick github.com/0xC0DE6502/t...

While the #SAMCoupe is what I focus most of my time developing hardware, software and magazines for I also make #Hardware for #RC2014 and the #ZXSpectrum. SAM Coupe -> 🌐 www.samcoupe.com RC2014 Interfaces ->🌐 2014.samcoupe.com ZX Spectrum ->🌐 zx.samcoupe.com #retrocomputing #indiedev #gamedev

It's touch and go, but will we have a Pi9home (brew) ready to show at the #riscoslondonshow2025? #risc_os #justbecause #notrealbutbetterthanapokeintheeye

WROCC October 2025 meeting - R-Comp and ROD Show teaser www.iconbar.com/articles/WRO... Wakefield's October speaker was Andrew Rawnsley from R-Comp, giving us some updates and teasers for the London Show (in case you need more reasons to attend!)

I’ve really enjoyed the demo for this game and although not my usual genre, I’m intrigued enough to back it and see what the team can achieve!

For those who missed it, Gavin's excellent talk can now be watched here youtu.be/NmZSXjij7x4

The RISC OS London Show is now just under four weeks away! Preview from RISCOSitory - www.riscository.com/2025/london-...

I've been working on Ovation Pro to add extra scaling options to the picture proxy setting. For those who attended my @rougol.bsky.social talk, I explained the use of proxy images. Base/16, Base/32 & Base/64 now offer even smaller proxies, making for smaller document sizes. #OvationPro #RISC_OS #DTP

Remember how we said late-pledges would close at the end of last weekend? Well, we had a couple of people asking us to wait for pay day and so they are still open but not 4 long. Amazingly, we got to £40k and unlocked another stretch goal! (Goat+Art cards) shorturl.at/0H9cs

hello, Amiga! :)

The #RISC_OS #London Show is creeping closer - 25th October. Preview vid courtesy of Tony Bartram/Amcog Games www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAFZ...
