The demo of Knuckle Paradise is releasing tomorrow (3pm~ish CEST). This is the beginning of the last sprint of a 6-year long marathon. What we started in January 2021 is coming to an end, and tomorrow we'll know what we can expect from its upcoming full launch. Be there!

Tomorrow begin my favorite jam of the year : the low rez jam (go check itch.io) because people who love big pixel are simply the best ! From the last low rez jam #LOWREZJAM i made several video games : - Chagrin d'amour - Mushrooms - Bazar in the cemetery - DIAMS ! DIAMS DIAMS ! #pico8 #gamedevs

And now...sound and music...... Not exactly my favorite moment. #pico8 #gamedevs

would anyone want to commission me for simple pico-8 carts in the vein of my #dailycarts? pixel art + code art. can be a looping gif or interactive, as long as it's something I'm able to do and fits within pico-8's limitations. (and if you don't mind saying, how much would you be willing to pay?)

hey everybody. i made a new game. its called 10SJR. its a pico8 version of a tennis hell game. not a full sequel, an experimental test bed for 10S3 mechanics. just one level rn, but a new one each week until i get bored. playable in browser or download <3 owch.itch.io/10sjr

Happy weekend! I'm nearly done with my rework of @benjaminsoule.bsky.social's Soulbound! 🐍💎 Releasing next week on #Pico8! #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev

Alright! I've finally put a starter pack together! Right now it's mostly gamedevs and/or artists! I wanted to collect folks with less than 1k followers who are making interesting things! There's only a handful of people here right now, so if you'd like to be a part of it, please let me know!

OUT NOW! Create your own GBA Startup animation then share your creations as gifs! gameboy.stonekokoro.com

We wanted to have some targets to hit, so I added a parameter to the walls to make them light up when hit and make them work with the timer system #pico8 #gamedev

Got the timer working. I'm getting very close to the token limit though... #pico8 #gamedev

untitled #pico8 arcade game update: - new enemy design to allow for better alt palettes - enemies spawn as faster versions if killed but give more points which adds some risk/reward - the star field colour change is now used for juice It's become very hectic, so might need to dial things down?

I made a game called "Carrot Kingdom!" where you stretch a rabbit's ears to grab carrots! 🥕🐰 It’s a browser game you can finish in about 20–30 minutes. Check it out and give it a try! www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=156... #pico8 #gamedev

Working on a timer system. This involves adding a "reset" parameter to the objects that calls an "init" function when another object is touched. #gamedev

Developing a new game! We back to #shmup, now on #picotron. New caravan - Faster, Louder and Harder Taking all the lessons from ExTerra and Steel Surge, and pushing it even further this time. Thanks to Zep's LXO, we will even have live high-scores! #gamedev Feels good to be back

Also made some cool badges with @pieropbes.bsky.social (the little ghost is from PieRo's game "Chagrin d'Amour": pbes-studio.itch.io/chagrin-damour) #pico8 #sauerkraut #douceurintense

Working on level design with @pieropbes.bsky.social #pico8 #gamedev

I'm starting to run into some performance issues when the number of objects gets too high, so I'm implementing a "loading zone" system where entities only get updated when you're in a particular area. #pico8 #gamedev

Still experimenting with doors and multiple paths #pico8 #gamedev

Playing with the trigger/door system. #pico8 #gamedev

Thinking about level design (I have no idea what I'm doing) #gamedev

Dodgy spiny spaceship is hard to hit. #pico8

The game needs objectives. For now I've implemented simple pickups that trigger the end screen when they're all collected. #pico8 #gamedev

🎉 Every object is encoded in one long byte string. I use LZSS to compress it, and write the result in the __map__ area of the cartridge. Token count could still be worked on, but this will be easier than fighting with the character limits. #pico8 #gamedev

my #pico8 arcade game now has: - improved system for managing the ramp up of enemy spawns - the ability to slam into enemies to clear them out and get some points - more juice especially a slight little landing effect I quite like

Okay we're going somewhere #gamedev

Things have escalated to the point that I am now learning about Lempel-Ziv-Storer-Szymanski compression. #gamedev

Looking for solution for our space problem. The first one is obvious: store only one version of each different polygon, and use a reference table to build new instances. I've also temporarily disabled polygon triangulation. At least it's running, which is good enough for now #pico8 #gamedev

The levels are stored as a long string containing the coordinates of every points of every polygons. So yeah, this was bound to happen. #pico8 #gamedev

The classic Elite space radar. #pico8

Starting to experiment with colors and effects #pico8 #gamedev

Finally added directional bumps. This will definitely need to be put on a cooldown #pico8 #gamedev

Exploring the possibilities of the trigger system. #pico8 #gamedev

We had a way to make objects pop out of the board, but no way to make them appear. So I've added a "trigger" parameter to the objects that activates them. #pico8 #gamedev
