❓ How many ways are there to teach players how to play? We compiled a huge list of onboarding methods in a reference page for you! We even added free-to-play in-browser example games for each method so you can see them in action. Find out here: nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Game_... #gamedev #pico8

New Video in our PICO-8 Course This breaks down the startup sequence, introduces the init function, and creates a strong foundation for organizing your game code and reading it in the order that it will be run. youtu.be/T23NF1E-J9Y #pico8 #coding #gamedev

"Kiting" is alive and well in my #AgeOfEmpires demake. This is a little stress test of the game, due to the rather small map this is probably one of the larger standoffs you'll see. #pico8 #sologamedev #gamedev #demake

Re-introduction time! I'm fletch, and I make smol games 🫶 I love PICO-8 and Playdate - games are just so much better when they are in the palm of your hand. I also stream twice weekly on Twitch - Tue & Fri @ 9am ET! Join us for some cozy moments while we exist together 💜 ✨ fletchmakesstuff.com ✨

I like 4-colour themed #picotron icons, but sometimes it's nice to be colourful too and I don't want to make everyone manage multiple icons. So.. standard colour mappings? (each row maps to a theme colour). meta.icon_themed could possibly still be optional but hidden for icon nerds.

Don't know who needs to hear this, but we're halfway through #FletchFest! Come join us for a week of reveling in the joy of creating stuff! Details: fletchmakesstuff.com/fletchfest Scroll down to the bottom of that page to see this year's first submission!! This year's theme is "Warmth" 🔥🫂☀️

Thanks to all the folks that played my #pico8 games this past year, left comments, provided inspiration, and to those that donated a few bucks in appreciation. I consider myself a #hobbydev tried and true, but y'all make me feel like an #indiedev - Looking forward to see what 2025 will create.

I wonder if people are interested in these small progress updates on an unknown game that's still in the prototype stage. Anyway, I have pathfinding now, praise the A* search! :D #gamedev #indie #love2d #dev #game

Just a reminder that Solitomb plays perfectly well on a phone (and even better since the 1.1 update!) 💡 All you have to do is direct your phone's browser to krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb - once the page loads, you don't even need an internet connection anymore 🙈 #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame

New Game Release for #pico8 advent calendar today! I'm glad I could squeeze in some time to develop the game and contribute to this year's fantastic lineup of holiday games. Enjoy! Play here: lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=gif...
