Starting to work on a few other screens needed for the game. There was really only one option on what to go for as a Game Over screen. #WIPArt #LV426 #GAMEOVERMAN #WIP

So here is something that wasn;t in the #ElectricDreams original. This Blast Door. You are going to need to find a way to unlock it.... #aliens #gamedev #hadleyshope #zxspectrum #retrogames

There is a philosophical theory that the big bang will be followed by a big crunch - a gathering up of the universe, under gravity, that will result in another big bang. Together, this big-bang-big-crunch -- or "big brunch", if you will -- must repeat endlessly, with variations occurring each time

I think this is one to file as it seemed a good idea when I started. I've got a feeling its going to take more than ten minutes to finish

Those of you who kept the original map of #HadleysHope from #ElectricDreams #Aliens 1986, feel free to engage 'Smug' mode, as finally it will come in handy again. #zxSpectrum #LV-426 #GameDev

It's a 100% historically accurate look at the 100% historically accurate video game about early 17th century gunpowder-based shenanigans.

Thinking about the gameplay. In Easy and Normal, the thermonuclear bomb you are going to need, is always in the Armoury. On the hard setting, it could be anywhere! Good hunting!

On today's episode of #ElectricDreams #Aliens graphics still confuse me, I think I have a breakthrough. The one thing in the graphics the same throughout is the corners, which back to back make a nice 48 by 48 square. Which suggests to me this is block number 1, and the whole maze is in a string.

This is still bugging me! It's 1986, a poster of Sam Fox is on the wall, Black Lace blasts from the boombox, you're chewing on a McDonald's styrofoam box. You've got 255 rooms to design, only 48K to work with. What black magic are you using ? #RetroGames #zxSpectrum #coding

Semi working motion tracker, lighting effects, and a lot more of the map now in the game. I now need to start thinking about gameplay :-)
