Pond Software

We make games for the Commodore 64 and other old systems! Our budget is currently a half eaten scone and a shiny button, our games are free to download.

Hullo all, if you want to try a playable GøbLiИ demo for the #Commodore #C64 it can be found here: https://t.co/OUTKKLQksz - it's got 9 levels and stuff. Merry Yule and Happy Holidays!

New #Commodore #C64 9 level preview is out now, works on NTSC and PAL. If you want to give it a try, you can grab the .d64 from https://t.co/OUTKKLQksz or https://t.co/8voj4LjNS2 #gamedev #indiedev

@GigerPunk @bloggospow Both islands are there, and the dice and cannon, should have 4 pieces of playing board, 4 cannon balls, 14 treasure chests, 4 ship stands and 4 sets of fleets (1 raft, 1 frigate, 1 galleon)

That feeling when listening to yesterday's #C64 worktune again and today it sounds like this. https://t.co/adg4bwpokA

@SyntaxErrorSoft I was excited about getting 5G (saw a photo of the chip in the vaccine) until I remembered that I don't even have a smart phone.

The Pond twitter account will be quiet for the next week or so, as I'll be t̷r̷a̷p̷p̷e̷d̷ spending some time in the wilderness™ and all my internet cables are too short. I'm getting my first Pfizer jab today though, so there's that to look forward to. Stay safe, everyone!

Two old worktunes™ #Commodore #C64 #MOS6581 #MOS8580 #MonkeyIsland2 #Scumm #LeChuck #VoodooLady

@Wesekann @spacemoguls Lovely tune!

[Carl-Henrik @ Space Moguls @spacemoguls]

I'm fortunate to borrow some music from @PondSoftware to help me find the right sound for the Island Adventure Game!

I think I like the melodies and the wave sounds the best, it really adds to the feeling :) I also want SFX playing eventually.

I'm happy for any feedback!

@_WickerMan73_ @CommodoreBlog Thank you, I love Tim Follin! And Geoff as well!

Potatoes are lovely and GoatTracker 2 is a fantastic tool. Not sure about this worktune, though. #Commodore #C64 #8bit #gamedev #indiedev #Goblin

[Pond Software @PondSoftware]

@RaistlinGP @JudgeDrokk I'd call it "Spudz!" if that wasn't already a brand of crisps.

A title screen without a title. #Goblin is a bit too generic, Potato Quest is taken. Got to come up with something soon. Our Spectrum friends will surely appreciate these lovely shades of brown. No double width pixels this time, though. #Commodore #C64 #8bit #gamedev #indiedev

[Pond Software @PondSoftware]

@PixelAmbacht Thank you! Yes, perhaps I'll do a 3 voice version as well.

[Pond Software @PondSoftware]

Smalltown Goblin...? Another worktune, only 2 voices this time, leaving the third for sound effects. #Commodore #C64 #8bit #gamedev #indiedev

[Pond Software @PondSoftware]

@PixelAmbacht Charmode + sprites :)

[Pond Software @PondSoftware]

@spacemoguls I could try to sort out a few test tunes and some sound effects if you want?

[Pond Software @PondSoftware]

@spacemoguls It's not being used for anything at the moment...how many tunes do you need?

[József Schaffer @angelday]

@PondSoftware Really cool! Reminds me of an experiment I ran a while back with sprite overlays:
