#pico8

19 posts17 participants3 posts today

Testing an overpowered plasma drill. It's time to start adding a proper game loop and for that I need minerals and a boat :)
#pico8

Trying out outlines combined with other p8scii features for #picotron 0.2.0d. The outline command ("\^o") takes a colour and a bitfield indicating which neighbours to set. This will probably also make it into #pico8 0.2.7 along with rrect()

it has now been an absolutely terrifying TEN years since I got access to #pico8 and started doing the most comfortable and satisfying game development I've ever done. the constraints allowed me to finally get out of my own way and make things and finish them.

I used it for most of my ~5 years doing #onegameamonth and I've used it for a few fun things since (nothing released though, I think). you can see all my carts here, along with a couple of Voxatron ones:

I felt like diagramming my little #pico8 ground plane system, because it's working way better than I had hoped.

Each tile of the game map (right) expands into an 8x8 tile region of medium distance content. Then each tile of those regions expands to another 8x8 tile region of close up content.
