Seeing as lack of funds not helped by ridiculous British Gas price hikes means I can’t continue to pay for the art for ETMD I’ve turned back to the Commodore 64 to make games on for now. Here’s a mock-up of my next C64 game “In Days of Old”. These are just placeholder graphics, my dodgy drawing will be replaced!

Testing out two of the standard enemies in ETMD First Contact, these will be the easiest enemies you'll be facing, they will get a lot nastier than this!

ETMD First Contact - Engine is being completely redone and now has a new art style. This is some footage of one of the boss battles.

Knights of Eschaton currently in very early production, targeting the Atari ST but there will likely be versions for the PC and Commodore 64 too.

Working on my PC program to quickly prototype C64 games before converting to assembly.
It now loads in Spritepad and Charpad files and displays them.
Lots more work to do yet but it's taking shape.
Graphics from a game we're working on.

Came home to find my wife had made a nice display for me of my first physical game!

Also experimenting with a text adventure on the Atari ST, having too much fun with this machine!

Going old school and writing a text adventure game for the C64 on the C64. ‘Quest For A Commodore’ will be out in a few weeks.

The Bricks have had enough of bats and balls and are out for revenge!

20/05/2020

We've just had the first ever review of our C64 game, Brick's Revenge, 76% rating which isn't bad for a first game!

Breakout games is a genre that appeals to a broad range of gaming enthusiasts with the heydays of the C64 seeing some great titles produced such as Traz, Krakout and Arkanoid. Boddicker Games looks…

How the inlay cover might have looked if I'd made this game back in the late 80s / early 90s!

Just to make things worse the King Of Bricks is also out to get you now on Brick's Revenge!

08/04/2020

Progress going well on Brick's Revenge for the Commodore 64, fixed ball to brick collisions and added a new brick type taking multiple hits.
This one should be on digital release in May.

05/04/2020

I can't currently afford to fund any more of ETMD but that doesn't mean I'm idle, I am also working on a game for the Commodore 64 called Brick's Revenge. This is using my own dodgy art so nice and cheap!

01/04/2020

Well with the evil Corona virus around this would seem like a perfect opportunity to work on the game but unfortunately the current climate also means I have to be very careful with money and cannot currently commission any more art for the game :( I'll be putting it on hold for now and working on something less good looking with my own dodgy art!

22/02/2020

It's been a long while but the game is still very much alive. I've not had the funding to get any more art done for a while and the code has gotten pretty messy.
I am going to do a rewrite and change some stuff up, the core gameplay itself will be pretty much the same but equipment, structure and core mechanics going on in the background will be quite different.
As it's a rewrite of the game engine it will be a while before I have anything new to show but I will have this done by the end of the year!

17/08/2019

It's been a while but here is some new footage of ETMD First Contact and 2 of the other environments you'll be fighting in,

22/06/2019

Will have some more updates soon, there's been quite a change to the way campaign works and some new weapons to show off.

20/04/2019

Currently working on the Survival Mode. This will be a mode with fixed weapons and abilities and will include an online high score table. The next demo version will have this mode in if anyone is feeling competitive!

20/04/2019

Well the vote for Random vs Fixed enemies came in at 50 / 50! I will have to give this one some thought. I think I will probably go for fixed in Arcade Mode and Random in Campaign Mode

07/04/2019

Just when I got used to the old enemies we made, Camilo has sent me over some new nasties!
