After many centuries sleeping under a toadstool, I am finally getting back into Video Game development. I enjoy retro games. Working on a space shoot 'em up.

The Sabbath is Rapidly approaching. So I'll be taking it easy for another day folks. Pretty sure the Holy-Day is about God, and friends, family, eating some decent grub. No need to post photos of it. Well #Gamedev is a fun hobby. So we'll see. Else it'll be Monday I commence.

Today Would have been The Birthday of one of my most Favouritest Ancestors. So today. So was mainly a day of rest to remember him. Pay my respects. Remember the good times. What a great bloke he was. Gone but never forgotten. Guess we'll meet again in the next life.

Ya Bunch Of Overgrown Gulley Dwarves. Mind out of the gutter. But seriously keep up the #gamedev my comrades in Game Dev Arms... Keep up the good Fight #Gamejammers. #gamedev is an artform. Or maybe a science. Maybe its some kind of stange Alchemy a Majik from anoher world

If you booze you lose almost anyday of the year. But get Hammerhelmed out of my Skull Busted Head on The Missus' Birthday. Not cool. How I long to taste a draft of that sweet sticky mead... The drink .... I am referring too ... Mind out of the gutter. ya bunch of... oooh ....

Anyway, It's a very Important occasion for my Shield Maiden the Mighty Mrs Grymbold this very day. So Indeed The Mighty Grymbold will be taking a day or 2 off now. #devtober #gamedev #gamemakerstudio2 #partytime But the Mighty Grymbold will be staying clear of the ole Grogg

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

Fellow #DEvTober - ers tell us are we supposed to post iteration / versions on itch before the month is over? I know we're supposed to try and earn at least 1 Gold Piece from the game. The Mighty Grymbold did read the guidelines. But that was In September.

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

Hope You other #GameJammers Are Keeping well. Looking after yourselves. There's a fineline between enthusiasm and obsession. I intend to take things easy at the weekend. Still publish a game or Minimum Viable Prototype by the End of #Devtober on itch.

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

#DevTober Rules. But working on the game every single day even Just a little bit. The mighty Grymbold needs to step back for a while, every now and then. Come back afresh. Stronger, Faster, Betterer-est. Gotta keep it fun. Stay fresh or I will go nuts. #gameJams in moderation

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

Ha... Well not really. I'm staying Sober for October And Maybe Beyond. I take life as it comes. But 30 pints of the hard stuff? I'm no doctor. But I think in most cases it's not really advisable. Actually the Mighty Grymbold is nobodies doctor. So go ask yer Doc. Not Grymbold

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

#GameDev can be a job and a hobby. Can be fun. Can be frustrating. #devtober is a Month long folks. As you know. Me I need sometime off for a bit of rest relaxation, daemon slaying with the battle Axe. Then down the Tavern for 30 odd Pints of the Skull Buster

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

So Yeah, I'll be working on my Game some more. Working on my #Devlog. Maybe a blog for the website too. And I shall be posting updates of the game on the https://t.co/ENSsFWawzx Thoughtful and constructive Criticism would be cool and much appreciated. Signed Mighty Grymbold

So the #monocrome tank is the player. The SpaceBloBB is the baddie. Idea is there's railguns. The enemies spawn. You shoot enemies for points andpowerups. If I can make a minimum viable product for the deadline then it will be a good #devtober. My first proper #gamejam #mega

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

@_BehindTheCode @IndieDevDog Ha. Yeah! I don’t really like Terquoise. But that was what was still available. When the original had taken damage.

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

So here is the #spritesheet on the original #Pico8 Version. A work in progress. Might finish the game in Pico 8. Might Redo it in #gamemakerstudio2. Decisions. But #Devtober is underway. Am I working hard at it every single day. Not Exactly. But Some is greater than zero.

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

@M33pinator @IndieDevDog Cool… mega!!! Have you played the Yoshi version yet? On Pico 8. Pretty darned decent.

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

@_BehindTheCode @IndieDevDog There’s the beastie. Got lumbered with the turquoise edition. Some compensation that for the power surge! It was bedlam that day. Man I think my old neighbour’s telly was emitting smoke. Must ask him. Was smoke in the building. Equipment blew. We relocated since then obviously.

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

@_BehindTheCode @IndieDevDog Is right my friend. Have mine plugged in the telly right now. Only me and the dog up and about. The others ain’t up. Maybe I should play Lylat wars or something. No infinite continues on that game. Its do or die … at least in computer game terms. Not pay to win! Mega.

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

@llamasoft_ox Aye Kerrumba. Love it mate. When did like, decent proper arcade / computer / console 🕹 games become “retro” anyways. I must have been asleep that day. Cos I do not recall when it was. 🤣

[Psychotic Gnome Studios @GnomeStudios]

@llamasoft_ox Nice one Jeff. Reminds me of my place. Keep up the good work dude. Only just got your steam games working. Cos I had a crap graphics card till recently. Man brings back those Atari ST days. But even more Mega. Excellent!!!!
