Well... It isn't exactly the best result, but I did make a Commodore 64 style game in TIC-80, which doesn't just mean graphics and sounds from the 80s but an annoying difficulty factor as well. Still, a fun time, and I got a good new game out of it! #IndieDev #GameDev #TIC80 #IndieGames

A screenshot from my #TIC80 game for the Cosmic Horror Jam... "The Music" is based on the HP Lovecraft story "The Music of Erich Zann." Each night, imps descend from the sky to destroy Paris, and only the violin music of a solitary madman can repel them! #IndieDev #GameDev #Gaming #WIP
