I decided to go with a much simpler "getting close to other cars charges your meter" system, and added some particles to show that. #gamedev #pico8

On the cutting room floor: I went and did a whole combo system. This is way too much information for the player to keep track of, and there isn't that much variety in the stuff you can do to justify it... #gamedev #pico8

I still find the gameplay a bit bland. The main thing I find exciting in the game is squeezing through tight spots, so I want to encourage the player to do this. Using the "near miss" system I tried earlier, I added a shield gauge that allows you to take you one free hit. #gamedev #pico8

I've actually been back to work on this project over the last few weeks, but I haven't shared much because I've mostly been working on the ending and don't want to spoil it! Here's something I can share: timed spike obstacles that I added tonight! #PICO8 #gamedev #indiegames #IndieGameDev

Not much today, but I spent more time that I want to admit on this animation. #pico8 #gamedev

Just finished a short boss rush in #pico8 with dash-and-slash combat. You can play it here: abhimonk.itch.io/fissure-blade

With this style, I'm thinking this could be something viewed through a screen, like a drone on a radar. So I wanted to experiment with "glitchy" effects and transitions. This particular one was inspired by the "rewind effect" in Picket Puzzle! www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=144... #pico8 #gamedev

The game is starting to emerge! Echo-locate to scope out the floor below you, then drop into it and defuse the timers without being spotted by the cameras. Limited line of sight and procedural levels seem to have been the missing pieces, now the echo-location feels powerful. #pico8 #gamedev

The post jam update is now on www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=154... #pico8

On the cutting room floor: "okay but what if was also a bullet-hell ?" #pico8 #gamedev

Got as much bugfixing done today as I could. Enemies no longer bog things down as much! Still gotta clean up some bloat though. #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

Stumbled upon this cool algo for generating "library" style rooms for my #pico8 #gamedev project. You repeatedly create rectangles, where each rectangle can shrink on any one of its sides. Then, you remove one wall tile from each row and each column. Gives a great balance of organized but mazy!

Hey, have you tried my latest game? It's a little shooter of 7 tiny levels. My advice is: collect as many coins as you can and find the shop! #pico8 #gamedev pbes-studio.itch.io/bazar-in-the...

The player's hitbox is quite small (4x4 pixels), and I don't think I can draw sprites that small that would still read well enough. Instead I'm going for a more abstract style, and I'm trying out some palettes that would work with it. #pico8 #gamedev

Still trying some variations in the gameplay, with some kind of "hyperspeed" mode that would trigger after you reach a certain score ? #pico8 #gamedev

There's an alarm sound when a laser is about to shoot. When playtesting, my partner though that it was some kind of siren coming from an emergency vehicle which, I realized, makes way more sense than a laser. #pico8 #gamedev

Made this prototype in a few hours over 2 nights in PICO-8 #gamedev #indiedev

Mine is a #pico8 rhythm game heavily inspired by the Rhythm Tengoku series. I spent all my energy buliding the rhythm/level editing system... #FragmentFriday #gamedev

Okay so the game felt a bit repetitive therefore I added lasers. #pico8 #gamedev

Stream tonight! 6PM EST! 🕹️

Small things to make the game feel better: I implemented different behavior depending on how a collision occurs. For instance: instead of making you explode, hitting corners pushes you away to help you squeeze into tight gaps. Hitting cars head on is still an instant loss though. #pico8 #gamedev

Toyed with an idea for scoring based on how close you are from other cars, à la Burnout. #pico8 #gamedev

Can anything truly be a mistake if you can control time? #pico8 #gamedev #pixelart #indiegamedev #indiegame

Implementing some simple scoring. Right now it just counts how much time has passed/distance traveled. #pico8 #gamedev

I think my favourite part of #gamedev is making death screens 2/4 Loot Loot Goblin www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=144... #pico8 #indiedev

Particles and screen shake! Maybe a bit early as I don't have sprites yet, but it feels good #pico8 #gamedev

Added some variation to the car size and reworked the scrolling effect. I feel like the speed renders better with non-continuous line separating the lanes. #pico8 #gamedev

I made a short story game for @finjico.bsky.social's #CorgiJam! I joined with only 9 days left and submitted it 45 minutes before the deadline. It's a silly little game about a corgi that wants to be taller. Check it out for free on itch: smoofano.itch.io/such-great-h...

My #CorgiJam entry is a short sokoban/sliding puzzle game about a dog marking his territory. It's my first #pico8 game! Playable in browser and on mobile, too. Thanks for hosting the jam! @adamatomic.bsky.social @finjico.bsky.social melancholerik.itch.io/terriertorial

I made a tiny PICO-8 game for @finjico.bsky.social’s #CorgiJam. 🐆 Duck and dive like a cheetah! 👂 p.s. Did you know cheetahs chirp? itch brittspace.itch.io/on-a-dime bbs www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=154... #gamedev #pico8

Made a little cryptic puzzle game prototype for CorgiJam last weekend. Runs in browser, only a handful of levels and no polish, but pretty pleased all the same. hangedman.itch.io/wisdom-will

Next week we're wrapping up #CorgiJam with a livestream! Join us at twitch.tv/finjico on Thursday, January 22 at 6PM EST as we play some CorgiJam games!

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm Fletch, I make stuff, and I primarily focus on fantasy retro games with #pico8, #picotron, and #playdate!

Yesterday, I fumbled the link. So let me try again. Sundered Hope is out on www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=154... #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame

Hello #PortfolioDay! I draw clean and colorful pixel art, sometimes in 3D. Currently looking for more work. 🖼️ cara.app/lampysprites 💌 lampysprites(dot)hotmail(at)com #pixelart #lowpoly

Started working on the cover art. I like it so far, but I’m unsure about the font. #pico8 #pixelart #gamedev

Doodling some Matrix Reloaded-esque thing #gamedev #pico8

And it's done... and now off to bed! #pico8 #CorgiJam pbes-studio.itch.io/bazar-in-the...

My very short entry for #CorgiJam is done ! I left a lot of things on the cutting room floor, and I didn't have time to implement a lot of mechanics, so there's only a few levels, but still : I'm happy with the result ! ghettobastler.itch.io/celestial-se... #pico8 #gamedev
