Watched my first Christmas film of the year tonight :) Ya cant beat a bit of Lethal Weapon ;)

Sad times :( Still have 3000 tokens left, and 16k chars available, but running at 100.14% compressed capacity :( She's dead Jim :( #Pico8

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Yup ..A.I.is the future :(

Tonight, simple maths eludes me :(

Its that time again. Lots of progress me thinks :) #ScreenShotSaturday #Pico8 #GameDev #Retro #Remake #StarQuake

I turned it off. Don't need it and want to save power.

Few issues at home, but now back on track and things are getting real ;) #Pico8 #GameDev #StarQuake #Remake

Woohoo ! When I'm happy with my map data I can crunch it down from a whopping 1120 tokens, to a rather impressive 160 :) Now that's a saving I'm happy with. Still occupies 15.1Kb of actual chars tho :( #Pico8 #GameDev

Should I be the one to blame if the users of my software are idiots ? #GameDev

That's me done for today. 256 rooms defined so far, just another 256 to go. GFX are subject to change, but looking OK for me so far ;) #Pico8 #GameDev #Remake #Retro

Q: Would a game such as Knight Lore or Head Over Heels or GunFright be classed as a (3d) physics engine ? #GameDev

This coding lark is like wading through treacle :(

And that's one fully working attract screen done :) #Pico8 #GameDev #Remake #Retro

Another obscure arcade tile from way back when that I've started a remake of. Can you guess what it is ? #Pico8 #GameDev #Remake #Retro

I live in the UK. Its a shit hole. Its going to pot. The place is a mess and the government is shockingly bad. I'd say it could well be one of the worst places on the planet. But look on the bright side, at least I don't live in America.

Blimey. Looking back over some of the WIPs I've let slip is a shame. Some of those games looked bloody gorgeous. Games like Zaxxon and BankPanic! and Gyruss and Wizadore and 1942 plus many many more. All well into development. I really should sit down and finish at least one of them ;) #Pico8

Ooopsies ! Doesn't bode well :( #Pico8

Managed to get hold of a copy of this today. I know you can read the online PDF version. But just having a tangible version in my hand gives me the feels so much, its bumping up my coding impetus ;) archive.org/details/Big_...

Today I adult'd. And it was good !

The fruits of my itch from 3 days ago. Progress is really coming on :) #Pico8 #Remake #Retro #Cybernoid #GameDev

Looks like WWIII is about to kick off :( Must mean I've got just enough time to start 5, maybe 6 new W.I.P.s :)

Cant believe it. ChatGPT has been giving out my Pico-8 cartridges willy-nilly for free, by-passing the purchase side of the Itch.io page ! The liberty of it ! Cheeky bloody A.I.

Its true, the worst thing you can do when you have an itch is to scratch it :(

So, its a post-post-post #ScreenShotSaturday :) Still needs some work on the spriting, but the E.o.G. Boss is sorted :) #Pico8 #GameDev #Wizadore #BBCMicroRemake

Which transition looks bettererer(tm) ?

I'm sorry, its my bad. ITCH.IO is down again because everyone is flocking over there to play my games online. If they just paid the nominal £1 they could own it themselves and play it whenever they wanted without clogging up ITCH.IO :)

This is utterly amazing :)

Just looking at the some playtimes of games on Steam .... Euro Truck Simulator - 72 hrs, Half Life 2 - 85 hrs, Bioshock - 28 hrs .... and then there's L4D2 - 1,115.2 hrs :)

This is quite something - massive respect to Kate Nash for putting this out into the world. Give it a listen. Kate Nash - GERM youtu.be/q2MoQJP-PhA?...

BREAKING NEWS : The earth is about to be devoured by a giant star goat ! We need to evacuate quickly. I propose we build 3 star-arcs. doesn't matter who's on arc A or C, but Arc B needs to be filled with American Republicans and launched A.S.A.P.

Its the day after, so lets have a post #SheenShotSaturday screenie ;) #Pico8 #GameDev #Wizadore #BBCMicroRemake

There are 10 frames (out of 18) where you are fully above the arrow. But do you have the hit box the WHOLE length or the arrow, or just the arrow head ? #Pico8 #GameDev

OK, I know its a little early, but here's a pre #SheenShotSaturday screenie ;) #Pico8 #GameDev #Wizadore #BBCMicroRemake

HahahahahHAHAHAhaHAhaHAHaHaHaHahAhAhAhAaaaa .... so, fixed my 55 day long bug ...finally :) Now I have to ask myself, do I continue with Wizadore, or put it on the W.I.P. pile (and save it for another day) and continue with ALIEN-8 ;) #Pico8 #GameDev

#DrWho has no right to give me the feels like that ! I'm a 55 year old fully grown man for gods sake.

Is #ScreenShotMonday a thing ? Should be ! Hers a screenie of the work I've done today. Not much I know, but getting there. May morph into Tapper by the end of the week tho :( #Pico8 #GameDev #Wizadore #BBCMicro #Remake

How do people feel about having the jump key as the same key as the up key ? Better as 2 separate keys ? I can't make my mind up :( #GameDev #Pico8

Probably wont go any further with this. It was meant to be all 3 HH games in one. But as its #ScreenShotSaturday I thought I'd post it. #Pico8

Just found a plastic bag under the bed with about £1000 in it :) I say £1000, in reality it's about 25 reusable plastic bags, but they must be worth about that now surely ?

Current progress of the game I've been working on for almost 2 weeks now ... #Pico8 #GameDev #ScreenShotTuesday

The thieving little shitbag has tried to palm off my game as his own again on the lexaloffle site. No mention of where he got it from or credit to the original author. What a slime ball. #Pico8

OK, I really need to knuckle down and finish one of these trillion W.I.P.s I have instead of starting a new one. Yes, new projects are fun etc, but I'm running out of HD space. There's only so many W.I.P.s you can fit onto a 12Tb HDD. #GameDev

I've been up about an hour and a half today, and already I've started 3 new W.I.P.'s :) That's a good day in my book :)

Per last RT, if anyone fancies playing a very good #Pico8 port of Dropzone on their lunch break: pahammond.itch.io/dropzone

Oh lordy lawks. After my remake of of the #Spectrum classic "Pyjamarama" I thought I'd never venture back to the land of Wally, but I've just spent the last hour looking over the gfx and what not for "Everyone's a Wally" and thinking, yup, maybe a #Pico8 version would be possible !

I want a blue tick ;)

My son works for this company here in the U.K. It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer. Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.

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

Its gotta be about time to wheel out this old classic ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=IagZ...
