So, #SpaceGame is coming along nicely with the help of @SpectrumNez and his SpecForge utility. Looks like I'm going to add loads more rooms and complete this project quickly. #zxspectrum #gamedev #pixelart #retrogaming
SpecForge New Feature:
🧬Generators🧬
An enemy-spawning generator that spits out other characters until it is destroyed!

Messing around with SpecForge by @SpectrumNez
You can now import an image into SpecForge to use as your loading screen!
Whether you should do, though, is another matter!😂

About 35 minutes in, a nice look at DAAD and text adventures.

SpecForge 1.05 is out. New feature....
🎭Sprite Masks!🎭
Make your player stand out with a sprite mask! See the Before and After video below showing both colour options too! You can use a 1 or 2 pixel auto-mask or define your own!😎
Before I go to bed, SpecForge 1.04 is up:
• NEW! Energy: a hit reduces energy instead of taking a life, and collectables can restore it!
• NEW! Tiles can be drawn in front of characters, so the characters can walk behind them!
• IMPROVED! Games with ammo run a little faster!

It anybody speaks Italian, here's a nice play through attempt of Tobobobo Go Home - made in SpecForge!
I watched it with auto-translate English subtitles and I had quite a chuckle at some parts! "Mamma Mia!"😂

• Copy and paste between items & even other projects!

The first, in-the-wild, use of SpecForge's inbuilt tracker to create AY Speccy game music!
Well done, sir!🫡
Quickly knocked up a crappy tune to go on the title screen. @SpectrumNez

I've resurrected my Space Game I did years ago on AGD but using SpecForge by @SpectrumNez
Maybe I'll finish this one! #zxspectrum #RETROGAMING #RetroGame #gamedev

Many thanks to @Immortaljoystix for hosting Space Pizza at Crash Live 2026, letting people play the game on one of their fantastic joysticks.

I hadn't considered a ruins theme until yesterday morning, and I nearly binned it because I really wasn't happy with it. Just over a day later, it's shaping up to be one of my favourites!
