Games and tools for 8-bit Commodore machines.
GADGET Design is a one-person studio. I make puzzle games for the Commodore 64 and the Plus/4, the editors they are drawn and scored with, and the occasional browser game. Everything is tested on real hardware and in VICE.
Tools
-
GDTools-gfx
Charset and screen editor, made by a game developer for game work. Draw the font, build screens, tiles and animated characters, export .bin, .prg or PNG. Runs as a Windows program and in the browser.
-
GDTools-sfx
Sound effect editor for the SID and the TED, and the companion of GDTools-gfx. Keep a bank of effects - laser, explode, coin, jump - and shape each one step by step, hearing it through a cycle-accurate emulation. Export a player and the data for oscar64, in C or in 6502 assembly, or a WAV. Runs as a Windows program and in the browser.
Games
-
GDSnake
A side-view snake puzzle with gravity. Grow longer to climb higher - one wrong move and you fall. Free download, .d64 and .prg included.
Game-jam entries and small browser experiments, playable right in the browser, are on the For fun page. Everything else is on the itch.io page.
About
I'm Gabesz. I wrote my first Commodore 64 programs when the machine was a current system rather than a retro experience, and after three decades of programming on everything since, I keep coming back to it.
