Seems my head's in a bit of a SpikeDislike sort of mood, this weekend.

Time to switch up my art tool on MacOS. As much as I've enjoyed using Pixelmator Pro, it's becoming more and more a Photo tool, and no longer suitable for pixelart and sprites.

Struggling to get anything done again, and yet surprisingly managing to get plenty done. The results weren't all that great, but .. At least it's another check off the list.

Today's plan is simple. Compose an entire ALChoon, Make a video for it, write a Newsletter, then panic because I haven't started a game, yet!

The Multiplayer menu for SmileBASIC games is kinda functional, now, but the controllers aren't quite as good as they could be.

I tried to get a few things happening, yesterday, but my head's in a weird "must keep watching things on the news" mood.

Spent a good hour or so organising my Ableton stuff, yesterday. .. Again.. Silly oversized backups.

Deciding to take the Sunday off, I opened up my archive of old Amstrad Computer User magazines and started flicking through, taking a crazy nostalgia trip into the unknown.

I spent a good number of hours trying to find a nice graphical style for a new BlastTrax, last night.

After finishing off Hello Worlds, I moved back to working on the Switch JNKPlat.

Oh dear, here comes another lazy-Jay game..

As I sat trying to come up with a Dragon Game for Shoebox, my mind drifted, and .. nothing got done.

Oops!

Oh, man, RetroRaider-Amiga definitely wasn't a good idea..

I'm now finding myself wondering how do-able RetroRaider would be on the Amiga.

Sidetracked, or just avoiding having to make the same game again? You decide!

There's a strange bug in GotoJSE, where it point blank refuses to upload your code.. If you're wearing a blue t-shirt and have socks on, on a Sunday, and are currently drinking a coffee. Or at least, I think that's why it failed.

I think yesterday was just one of those days!! No coding, but I spent a fair amount of time with Ableton.

Didn't really get much of anything done, yesterday.

Yesterday I started to tackle a sprite editor for the Amiga.

Gosh, I'd forgotten just how much I never got around to learning in the first place!

Didn't really achieve much of anything, yesterday.

Good grief, that's a hefty manual for Blitz2.0 (Amiga)

A rather simple little platformer with switches. Toggle all three in the right order to open the door, then escape before the evil colourful butterflies stab you to death. If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

It'll do... It keeps the numbers up, at least.
