#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: been busy adding more locations, and recently added the tile sets for shrines and Elven villages. Number of working locations on the world map is 24, with 1000+ tiles being used. Still a long way to go, but feels like a lot's been added already. Onwards and upwards!😊

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: it's been a while, but I've been busy working on this, adding new locations and items. Recently added a castle with a library. You can browse books and read them, and some will have important info...

So DOGE stands for Department Of Great Evil, right?

Discrimination, harassment and violence will increase if trans people lose access to toilets and other spaces. Many will feel driven from public life. That's what's at stake here. There's no benefit to women. Just harm to trans people and anyone who doesn’t fit gendered stereotypes.

Being part of the roleplaying project "Kouyate" by @sarahjaneavory.bsky.social has been an absolute dream come true for me. I honestly can't think of anything more amazing than working on a real, full-fledged roleplaying game.

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: had a problem with the new ferries yesterday... Turned out the game had run out of RAM. Did a fix over lunch, but it's something I'll have to keep an eye on.

So one day, the US will get rid of all those states and change them to, say, around 14 districts. Then, every so many years, they'll round up some kids and make them fight to the death in something called The Starving Games. And the president will change his name to President Snowman 'cos of Xmas...

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: so how am I doing? Well, I have a 1Mb cart to play with and currently using 247k after getting the initial island working. Still a long way to go, but I feel I'm making good progress. Added a new village yesterday, and I'm happy with the way it's looking.😊

Not sure what's going on today, but I seem to be selling a few copies of Zeta Wing 2 (not that I'm complaining). sarahjaneavory.itch.io/zeta-wing-2

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: added the ferry that takes the player from the start island to the mainland (and back again). But I need to finish off the start island, so that's a ruined town to add, a new village, more underground areas, plus all the new people and items needed to make it all work.

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: I'm busy coding the game now, adding in new locations, creating new town and village maps for new locations, adding primary characters. This is where creating a game could be considered a bit of a grind, adding lots of new scripts and graphics etc...

🎶 Just released a new C64 tune I composed for the upcoming game Kouyate by @sarahjaneavory.bsky.social 🌟 An dark ambient track that sets the tone for the game. Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🎮🎧 #C64 #Chiptune #GameMusic #Kouyate #RetroGaming #commodore64 #videogamemusic #gamemusiccomposer

If someone was to tell me an asteroid that was about to hit the Earth was large enough to cause a mass extinction of all life, I'd say about frigging time!

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: I have enough design done that I can return to coding the game. Currently, the design has 55 locations to explore, with more to add I'm sure. Next step is to get the base game up and running so it's completable, then I'll see how much cartridge space is left to fill.

Good thing about retro games: I can work at my own pace. Still busy designing the game flow of Kouyate, my #C64 #RPG. I have the overall story done, just detailing out the player's journey across the realms, adding in villages and towns and key people, as well as some hidden areas.🙂

#C64 #RPG progress: yes, still working on this in the background, but spending more time on the design side of things as most of the mechanics seem to be working.😊 Recently started adding larger boss-like characters that are 2x2 blocks. Caused a few coding headaches, but all is well now.😀

The Commodore 64 Is Getting A New Ultima-Style RPG www.timeextension.com/news/2025/02... (via @timeextension.com)

#C64 #RPG progress: just counted the background tiles, and currently have just over 450. Still have a long way to go so this number is going to go up massively as I add more locations. RAM usage is a little higher than I'd like right now, but my scripting system helps a great deal, so no worries. 😀

Working on my #C64 #RPG while rocking out to Parasomnia, latest album by Dream Theater. 🤘 As for the game, busy working on the desert section, so expect an oasis, and lots of palm trees (of course).
