@fabraz.bsky.social bubsy 4d demo on switch 2 is so good. Omg I love it. That being said, I'm old and RG color blind. Any chance you could consider an option to crank up the toon lines on bubsy and the collectibles? They're a little tricky for me to parse from the level.

Sally's Star Racers PX, my #pico8 mode 7 racer, is now up on itch! Give it a go! Try to collect all 48 stars! paloblancogames.itch.io/sallys-star-...

Very busy weekend... So I vibe-coded a lite 3d platformer engine in threejs. Not much to write home about, but it was a fun experiment! Build 3d levels with just csv files and some json! ldjam.com/events/ludum...

The Theme for Ludum Dare 59 is... Signal #LDJam

Ludum Dare 59 kicks off in roughly 2 and a half hours! #LDJam

Thanks for playing! And for sharing! You're pretty good at it!

Sally's Star Racers PX is complete! Probably my most ambitious #pico8 game. 8 tracks, 4 different characters, and 47 achievements to unlock and save with local storage! Only available on the BBS for now: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=186...

I'm enjoying polishing up some skills by working on Sally's Star Racers. I want to get better at quickly composing music, so I've decided to compose some little tunes myself. I'm going for a "snowy" vibe with this song. Good for a snowy race? #pico8

At my daughter's request, you can now select your character in Sally's star racers! My daughter designed two of the characters, and Hungry Harry makes a guest appearance! #pico8

I might have overtuned the "hard" difficulty a little bit. #pico8

@thattomhall.bsky.social thanks for organizing and MC-ing another #toyboxjam. I really appreciate all of your enthusiasm with the group! It's the only game I finished from 2025 - busy season of life. Love that you set up an environment to help us finish and succeed.

Just submitted my first racing game to #toyboxjam 2025! Try out Sally's Star Racers for some mean, mode 7, #pico8 racing! paloblancogames.itch.io/sallys-star-...

Just wrapped up day 8 on #AdventOfCode . Is there any way to avoid computing every inter-box distance, then sorting smallest to largest? Pretty straightforward implementation of sets, but computing every distance between 1000 boxes is slow in vanilla js. paloblanco.github.io/AdventOfCode...

Continuing to make progress on #AdventOfCode . I'm REALLY interested in starting to make some games with #LittleJS ... but I want to build up some JS muscle memory to make it a smoother experience. This has been a good way to do so! paloblanco.github.io/AdventOfCode...

So, I'm plugging away on #AdventOfCode. My GH repo has been cloned by 37 unique cloners?? Are these helper bots? Something specific to Advent of code? LLM related scraping?

Delightful so far - thanks! I am taking baby steps into web dev while I solve the problems. Today - a smidgen of css and open-graph metadata really class up a static website! paloblanco.github.io/AdventOfCode...

#AdventOfCode has arrived! Glad it is a tad shorter this year. I really want to get a little better with javascript, so I'm forgoing python and building a janky little solver as I go. Give it a try on your own inputs (once you're finished, of course). paloblanco.github.io/AdventOfCode...

My favourite jam! I'm gonna try to carve out some time.

Being a dad is sitting in agony while your two kids insist on driving around in circles in the new Mario kart to keep picking up food and cycle through Peach's outfits.

surf's up! #pico8

This looks great! Cannot wait to fire it up.

If you floss every day, you get really fast at it. Like, 60 seconds from picking up the floss container to throwing away the string. You get so good it doesn't even wake you up. If you are sleepy and just want to go to bed, you can floss and still be sleepy.

Stretch. Every day.

Happy new year! I've made 12 levels out of my goal of 100 for my #pico8 precision platformer. I'm trying not to think too hard about it - this is more of an exercise for me than trying to really polish something up.

Gamedevs rise! #adventofcode day 15 was fairly breezy of you've spent as much time I have worrying about pushing objects around a tile map when they don't line up with the grid.

#AdventOfCode day 11 dusted. First time that performance was real consideration. I wasted a lot of time on part 1 since I was focused on preserving order, so I built a linked list. Memoization is what really saved the day on part 2. Very speedy and short.

Not super exciting to see, but cool under the hood! My level select is now decompressing px9-compressed strings into the extended map memory, then kicking the game off. 100 so-so levels, here i come! #pico8

Day 6 down. Today had a bit of bite! My performance was super bad lol. #adventofcode

Got a tiny bit of gamedev in during the Thanksgiving holiday. Made a level selector for my #pico8 precision platformer, "100 Rooms of Doom". I want to try and make 100 levels! They won't all be winners.

Trying the first Xenoblade for some cozy holiday gaming. I'm not big into jrpg's, the last one I finished was pokemon white. Really enjoying this though! You get a lot of freedom to explore where you want. The sprawl of the maps and the world really make it feel adventurous.

Extremely busy test room for a precision platformer I am working on for #pico8. Trying not to think too hard about polish here. Gonna be a simple game, but I want to try and use 1) compression and 2) persistent save data. Would like this game to be simple but sprawling!

I'm looking for some easy-to-read sci fi for the holidays. Recommendations? I recently read project hail Mary and Artemis and really enjoyed both. Not looking to push myself too hard.

#Bsky tip for GIFs...the Clipchamp app that comes with Windows will quickly and easily convert GIFs into video for posting. No need to use rando online converters. Good enough until GIF support is added. Free! Pass it on. #gifs #video #tools #windows

I frequently find that in frustrated with myself using the #pico8 tracker - I think the abundance of wave forms always makes my stuff sound "watery". But wow, some people can make it sing. Lovely!

I'm probably best known (if known at all!!!) for Hungry Harry 3D, a simple PSX-style 3d platformer for #pico8. We are coming up on the 6 year anniversary! I would love to work on a bigger followup, but life is so much busier right now. Would love to have a bigger, livelier world to explore.

Friends using #pico8! I have found gif support here to be spotty so far. I use the following python script to translate my gifs to a mp4. See the alt text to copy-paste it.

Happy to see familiar faces here again! My most engaged days are behind me, but I like to hang out to follow data science and game dev. I make little games with #pico8! This is a small cut of some of my games, you can check them out in my bio for free.
