How do you feel about promo posts for old, already released games instead of updates on new games? For example: Check out Loot Loot Goblin, here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=144218 #pico8 #indiegames #retro #pixelart

Currently going through all the levels and finalizing their graphics. Almost all the levels are finalized. Still aiming for April for the demake.

Hoppy Easter from me and Pac Bun, still spreading the free love in their own special way 4 years on

As far as I know, no-one's ever unlocked the easter egg for completing all 16 levels without dying - especially me with a laptop up arrow not working reliably at all...

There's a work-in-progress version of my little #pico8 flight simulator here:

I'd really appreciate any feedback, particularly if it helps me tweak the flight model to be (somewhat) more realistic.

I'll check out pico8's music tracker and see how it works
me, 3 hours later:

I have never seen the #pico8 fantasy console pushed this hard. Just ran this demo in a browser on my phone no problem. https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=145596#playing

“The cart data is stored using a steganographic process. Each PICO-8 byte is stored as the two least significant bits of each of the four color channels, ordered ARGB (E.g: the A channel stores the 2 most significant bits in the bytes). The image is 160 pixels wide and 205 pixels high, for a possible storage of 32,800 (0x8020) bytes.”

No freakin' way. I thought there was like a data fork in the PNG you could just chuck stuff into. #pico8

These artists are making tiny ROMs that will probably outlive us all

I think a found a new favourite fantasy console computer thingy. I like PICO-8 and TIC-80 deeply, but there’s something in Unx’s minimalism that stands out.

So pleased that #pico8 demo The Mind made by Haujobb & Sweet16 won the Meteoriks Midskool award! https://youtu.be/jRGJVH90ka0?si=czuIoVOrgrXohhw-

What sort of slime ball steals your game from Itch, change a few graphics then post it on the pico8 forum claiming its there own work ! They haven't even bothered to change other graphics in the other sprite banks, the ones i did temporary graphics in :( #Pico8

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:

try it!

I was thinking whether to do it or not, I've decided, if it doesn't work, at least I've tried.

Thanks to all of you for your help.
