#PKMNDFECT Megathread! I'm going to try to contain all of the project updates in this thread going forward! If you're interested in the project, don't forget to save the post and check back in every now and then. If not, mute the thread! #pico8 #gamedev #pokemon #pixelart

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!

I implemented AND and OR gates. Along with the timer, this allows for some pretty nice sequencing (this level makes no sense, it's only meant to demonstrate how sequencing works) #pico8 #gamedev

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

#LDJam results are out! 7th overall in Compo ?! I'm so happy! Thank you to everyone who took the time to try and review cosmic relay!

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

Just sent the last version of the editor to @pieropbes.bsky.social to make a test level and he went crazy with it #pico8 #gamedev

Spent the last couple days trying to cleanup the bossfight cart, and balance it a bit. Their attacks still need a bit of tweaking since they can get stuck in an endless sheild mode #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

i liked it when humans made things. it was a really cool and inspirational time

Completely stole this from Devils on the Moon: I've added an "output" parameter to the kickbacks so they can also work as warps. Combine this with the camera system and we have *secret areas*. #pico8 #gamedev

scoring system, scrolling background, enemy types. pico8 is fun it turns out

In Alpine, you pull cables to connect isolated cabins and use data packets to attempt reaching the summit of Three Peaks mountain. A 2D puzzle-platformer with some dialogues, created in 72 hours for #LudumDare oddly-shaped-pixels.itch.io/alpine #gamedev #pixelart #LDJam #ld59

Finally added kickbacks. Now that I have rollovers and checkpoints, these were pretty easy to implement. #pico8 #gamedev

Did you catch us on Second Wind? We're thrilled to officially announce KNUCKLE PARADISE, after 5 years of hard work!! 🥊🐔🔥 youtu.be/Syu6TZ7xVE8

Putting things together in a test level. I was afraid that navigation would be too tedious/random, but it's actually quite fun! #pico8 #gamedev

Leaning into the exploration/platformer vibe: the pinball game now have checkpoints. #pico8 #gamedev

I made a game in 3 days for #ldjam Fling a bat and explore levels using echolocation. Like billiards but weird. Let me know how it plays for you? Thank you! castpixel.itch.io/ping

Roadkill junction badpiggy.itch.io/roadkill-jun... #LD59 #LDJAM

Back to the pinball project: moving targets. The object's trajectory is based on a polygon drawn in Tiled. #pico8 #gamedev

That's it, release the PONG DFECT. There's still no background music, so if any pico-8 musicians wanna give it a shot, feel free! I feel like I can't spend much more time trying to wrap my head around music theory, but the game is done! caaz.itch.io/pong-dfect

I finished my compo entry for #LDJAM ! It is very short, and features a gray alien playing DDR. You can play it here : ghettobastler.itch.io/cosmic-relay #gamedev #pico8 #ld59
