Thanks so much @iHarbonaut!
SpecForge is totally free for all to use, but this will help me buy some tea bags to keep me going late into the night!😎👌

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!

Spiderverse used ML in production which began in 2014.
This tech isn't the exploitative AI generative software people are beefing about a decade later.
We understand the difference between what proprietary ML was available ten years ago and the problematic AI generative software now.
Things change. Different technologies come online. Different corporations get involved that have different ethical considerations.
GPT-1 pretrained model didn't come out until 2018.
LAION dropped 400M in 2021 and 5B in 2022.
Stability didn't drop theirs until 2022.
Protect and support creatives.
This tool is amazing! Loving it! ;)
SpecForge updates since launch:
• Folders to organise your Rooms, Sprites etc!
• Import from another game - useful for multi-person game creation!
• Drag stuff around to re-order!
• Copy and paste between items & even other projects!
• Import & export loading screens!
• Plus a handful of fixes...

Not posted much about Melkhior's Tower recently because it's nearing completion and I don't want to give stuff away. Working on the launcher effect and title screen today.

Here’s my video of the Crash Live 2026 Retro Gaming event held in Coventry on 17th October 2026. Plenty of Sinclair/Speccy action and the Kickstarter 3 Magenta Spectrum Next even made an appearance!👌
Video contains clips of some of the talks/interviews!
Enjoy!👇

With amazing art from an amazing artist. You all need 2 give this a look & consider supporting traditional created works that are not A.I. as it's all over the place now. So why not support a Slice of Dinosaur Pie.

Best of luck on the project @tandemar 🙏
