During 2024 I had decided to work on yet another game I’d been thinking about creating for years. A Vic 20 one as well. Who’d have thought that my mind would be coming around to knocking out another one of those. As it turned out, it would be the only game I fully completed and made public that year.
(more…)Gridrunner Devlopment
I’m well overdue now to talk about Gridrunner which was the only game I developed in 2023. It evolved from what turned out to be the last competition the website Syntax Bomb hosted and I developed it over 3 months, from October to early December.
(more…)Gridrunner released
I’ve just released my latest game on Itch, which has been written for the Syntax Bomb game competition, Retro 80’s.

I chose to do a remake of Gridrunner & Matrix, of which I have fond memories from my introduction to gaming via a Commodore Vic 20 back in 1983.
I will do a game development post on creating the game at a later date.
[EDIT] Gridrunner won 2nd place in the Syntax Bomb “Best of the 80’s” game coding competition.
