OMG, I'm so excited! This vid may not look like much, but for the 1st time ever I've achieved a genuine multi-load on the Speccy! This unlocks so many new possibilities- larger games, animated intro\endgame sequences, etc WOOHOO! 😁😁😁 #zxspectrum #indiedev #retrogaming

This looks like it could be extremely handy!

Throwing this out for fun: Anyone fancy getting a credit on a published #ZXSpectrum game? I need enemy sprites for my game but I don't enjoy creating them. Each 2 frames of animation, 16x16 and 32x16. Example below. No money, just for fun! #pixelart #indiedev #8bit

Making progress in "Dungeon Decks" for #ZXSpectrum. Minimap working, with wondering monsters appearing and roaming freely, triggering combat when they meet the player.
