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.

That feeling when listening to yesterday's #C64 worktune again and today it sounds like this. youtube.com/watch?v=LKLwBzrC…

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!

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

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

Those Link screens are lovely! Over/underlays are fun to play around with. I started on a LeChuck thing back in 2015 - it's partly animated, he squeezes the doll and the eyes pop:

Visst! Here you go, no CRT filter or aspect ratio correction:

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

Ok, one promise: It will work on #NTSC as well, as seen in this video. Wouldn't want our friends across the pond to feel left out now, would we. Hope you like slippery ice platforms? #Commodore #C64 #8bit #Goblin #gamedev #indiedev

"All the potatoes are gone!" Skwurl's voice echoed through the tunnels. "Someone left the pantry door unlocked, and now all the potatoes are gone!" Who could have taken the potatoes? The goblins all had their theories. #C64 #Goblin

ARRRGHH!!!! That's the last time I buy a new old stock sealed game from Venezuela :( Couldn't "la Aduana" at least have opened it normally instead of having a pack of wolverines rip off the entire top flap? :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
