Hoppy Easter from me and Pac Bun, still spreading the free love in their own special way 4 years on

As far as I know, no-one's ever unlocked the easter egg for completing all 16 levels without dying - especially me with a laptop up arrow not working reliably at all...

There's a work-in-progress version of my little #pico8 flight simulator here:

I'd really appreciate any feedback, particularly if it helps me tweak the flight model to be (somewhat) more realistic.

I'll check out pico8's music tracker and see how it works
me, 3 hours later:

I have never seen the #pico8 fantasy console pushed this hard. Just ran this demo in a browser on my phone no problem. https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=145596#playing

“The cart data is stored using a steganographic process. Each PICO-8 byte is stored as the two least significant bits of each of the four color channels, ordered ARGB (E.g: the A channel stores the 2 most significant bits in the bytes). The image is 160 pixels wide and 205 pixels high, for a possible storage of 32,800 (0x8020) bytes.”

No freakin' way. I thought there was like a data fork in the PNG you could just chuck stuff into. #pico8

These artists are making tiny ROMs that will probably outlive us all

I think a found a new favourite fantasy console computer thingy. I like PICO-8 and TIC-80 deeply, but there’s something in Unx’s minimalism that stands out.

So pleased that #pico8 demo The Mind won the Meteorics Midskool award! https://youtu.be/jRGJVH90ka0?si=czuIoVOrgrXohhw-

Testing an overpowered plasma drill. It's time to start adding a proper game loop and for that I need minerals and a boat :)

Trying out outlines combined with other p8scii features for #picotron 0.2.0d. The outline command ("\^o") takes a colour and a bitfield indicating which neighbours to set. This will probably also make it into #pico8 0.2.7 along with rrect()

it has now been an absolutely terrifying TEN years since I got access to #pico8 and started doing the most comfortable and satisfying game development I've ever done. the constraints allowed me to finally get out of my own way and make things and finish them.

I used it for most of my ~5 years doing #onegameamonth and I've used it for a few fun things since (nothing released though, I think). you can see all my carts here, along with a couple of Voxatron ones:

try it!

I felt like diagramming my little #pico8 ground plane system, because it's working way better than I had hoped.

Each tile of the game map (right) expands into an 8x8 tile region of medium distance content. Then each tile of those regions expands to another 8x8 tile region of close up content.

I am preparing a last suprise and a postmortem on #picocraft In the meantime I share you a dev iteration with x.com/brullov_art of the launcher #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

my best friend finished their first pico-8 game!!!
