I've just released Super Bugaboo Race Time Challenge!

I found this with the Harry Potter films. I'm not a massive fan but I thought I might as well, but the continuation is ridiculous. One second he's a hero, then he's back to breng disliked by almost all adults.

How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far:

🤣 🖕

👌 👎

I've now created 3 levels for Super Bugaboo Race Time Challenge. #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum

Currently working on a Bugaboo type of game - can you get to the end of the level in time? Lots of scope for showing some classic Spectrum levels. #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum

If you haven't read The Wind in the Willows and you think you know what it's about, let me tell you — you are wrong as HELL. It's the weirdest kids' book I've ever read, but @eleanormorton.bsky.social loves it.

New episode of Eleanor & Alasdair Read that out today! linktr.ee/readthat

Thanks a lot. Using Godot probably makes it easier than it seems (not saying it was that easy though :) )

Been tinkering with the title screen and screen transitions in Melkhior's Tower. More info about the game in the devlog: itch.io/dashboard/ga...

Or Cuba?

A quick space invaders remake with destructible invaders. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Yeah, that does seem to be the bets choice! Lots of nice colourful backgrounds to destroy!

I think I may have to replace my R-Type gfx with a more obscure retro game, what with Irem and Activision both still being around and feeling litigious. Suggestions welcome!

Working on a shoot'em-up with destructible scenery and enemies. Got some "placeholder" gfx in it at the moment. :) #gamedev #godot #zxspectrum

Age verification? I've almost finished a gamedev project I started.

The deadline for responding to this consultation (about whether we should shovel even greater heaps of bureaucratic misery onto immigrants in the hope of pacifying racists) is midnight on Thursday 12th:

Somehow they've done it. The new #Overwatch update has made the pre-and-post game UI even more convoluted and difficult to use.

Probably my most popular game to date: Manic Destruction. stephensmith.itch.io/manic-destru... #zxspectrum #retrogaming #retrogames #indiedev #madewithgodot #gamedev

I've had to use two websites today that only worked with Chrome and not Firefox. Is it 1999 again?

Probably still my finest hour. stephensmith.itch.io/exolon-3d

Tesco Mobile is sending me text messages to say that I can no longer receive text messages, since they turned off 3G and apparently my phone isn't 4G ready. Hmm...

Looks like this was never released. Maybe it was for the best...

I find a wet shave is quicker than an electric shave. That takes ages to get the same smoothness.

I created a Neural Net to play BMX Simulator (Codemasters) YouTube video by StephenCSmith

I created a Neural Net to play BMX Simulator.

Just watched Die Hard again for obvious reasons (and it's so obviously an Xmas file there's not even a debate) but Disney+ have spoilt it by cutting so many segments. Like the dead body falling onto the cop car at the start; in the Disney+ version, he just appears on the car.

Programming a Neural Net is one of the hardest things to code: it's very hard to tell if there's any bugs, because you've no idea what it's going to do.

I'm trying to recreate Deactivators as a top-down 2D puzzle game...

What is the point of a TV channel like Channel 4 bring up films in their search results that you can't actually watch?

Getting warnings in Whatsapp that my Google storage is 50% full and backups are in peril. Oh noes!! Only 7Gb space left!!! Anyway....

Time Squad update! Someone went and actually sent me some cash for this game, so I've been morally obliged to add new features: Grenades, 3 difficulty levels, a level selector, and an extra level! stephensmith.itch.io/timesquad
