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

Dungeon Decks is the work-in-progress 3rd game from Sausageware Games for the #ZXSpectrum! It's a dungeon-crawler/deck-builder. What do you reckon so far? #retrogames #8bit #mpagd #80s #90s #homebrew

I'm seeing posts from people who bought the physical edition of SCION saying they haven't been given access to the digital download. If that's the case for you, please either DM me or contact @bitmapsoft to get your digital copy! #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming #8bit #speccy
