Starting to feel like a space battle now. Some perf issues when lots of bullets in the air - might need to switch from polys to particles. And I need to figure out what role the large command ships will play - currently they just sit there. #pico8

Trying to cram a little rally driving game into 500 characters for #tweettweetjam Have rendering and driving in... 600 characters, ha. Now to shrink!

Making a small entry for #tweettweetjam. Still at ~400 characters so I'm adding some logic and collisions next! #pico8

SNAIL RACING HAS NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITING. munro.itch.io/mollusk-paddock #pico8 #tweettweetjam #indiedev

My submission for #tweettweetjam is now up on voidgazerbon.itch.io/numbermasher #gamedev #pico8

Got my #tweettweetjam #pico8 cart down to 498 chars! Had to sacrifice the track outline for a lap timer, but I think it was worth it.

Day 3 of TweetTweetJam 11! We’ve got four wonderful entries so far, keep them coming! Make a game with only 500 characters of code! itch.io/jam/tweettwe... #tweettweetjam #pico8 #gamejam #gamedev

You're a shooting star that has to dodge an ever-increasing armada of moonlets! #tweettweetjam #gamedev #pico8

Wow, things are really coming together! #tweettweetjam #pico8

I kinda like this concept for a lunar lander sorta game. Like zip around the planet, collect stuff ... not sure if I can squeeze it into 500 chars but I'll see what I can do! #tweettweetjam #pico8 #gamedev

Nah, might stick with this idea. Turning into more of a spaceship / gravity sorta idea. #tweettweetjam #gamedev

Testing batch #picotron 0.3.0d sspr // draw many scaled sprites with a single call by passing a userdata table of call parameters. Each row has its own src and dest region + anchoring bits (bottom center in this case).

Was gonna try a little space shooter but I'm already running out of characters. Might have to go back to the drawing board! #tweettweetjam #pico8

This is my minimum viable product—it has a score and gradually increasing speed. Next step is to crunch this right down and see how much space I have left! #tweettweetjam #PICO8 #gamedev

I'm excited to make another game for #tweettweetjam, a jam challenging people to make something using only 500 characters of code! I fleshed out a proof of concept tonight; I'm very confident I can get this under 500 characters. I hope I can fit some nice presentation in too! #pico8 #gamedev

I swear, Gimmick 2 gives me the same dopamine hit that Celeste does. It’s downright punishing but also very forgiving with checkpoints.

Added some more movement options ε==(っ･ω･)っ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GodotEngine

I signed Little Rocket Lab back in November 2022! Finally coming in 5 days, unbelievably excited to get it out there. Such a long time coming, and it's *genuinely* one of the best games I've ever played store.steampowered.com/app/2451100/...

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
