My wife and I are both out of work and it can feel bleak at times so your kindness goes a long way as we look for jobs locally.

Your follows, boosts and likes really lift me up. Thanks again to everyone who already has!

After many attempts at building something here, I'm trying to get things right this time. Please consider following me again if you have before.

Magicore now supports "color regions”. The background is only 3 bitplanes (8 colors), but this new feature lets the game change the BG palette on different parts of the screen. It's all automated—the compiler scans the source image to figure out optimal color swaps, then the game engine takes that info and builds the copperlist for it.

As a test, I imported this free 19-color BG I found online (art by ansimuz) and the results are quite stunning. Blog post soon!

We updated the classic (if brutally hard 💀) game Ghouls for the BBC Micro! 👻 Now with 60 new levels, a level editor and two new game modes. Enjoy. 😜

Struggling to explain the gap in my work history to CD Project Red. These things take time. You’d think they know that?

(This is the last game I wrote for the ZX Spectrum, Games Workshop)

Really need to address my game backlog.
