Shadow Fields will be released imminently in April 2026

A few months have passed during which a great graphic artist began a collaboration that ultimately wasn’t possible to carry through, so the game will be released with the original graphics made by me. Estimated release date: between April 20 and 28.

New spectrum shooter 128k - Test 3

  Some visible progress since the last entry. Mainly enemies' shots and path management. Collisions are still disabled, so there are weird effects that won't happen when the ships are destroyed.

New Spectrum 128K game

New spectrum shooter 128k - Test 4 (Shadow Fields)

 Still working on tiles destruction (your ship’s shots will destroy the scenery, or at least part of it). I can’t get Spectaculator to record the video properly — it comes out choppy, so I’ll have to use another tool to capture the progress. At some point I’ll release a demo TAP, but that’s still a way off, and I need to think about the best way to distribute it. Collisions need improvement, because there are so many calculations and things moving around that I’m splitting the collision checks into 3 parts and spreading them across 3 frames. As a result, sometimes a collision doesn’t register. I’ll be doing a lot of mathematical optimization these days. I’ve given it a provisional name: “Shadow Fields.” Here are the latest updates: See you later!
