I came across #pico8 last night and it looks delightful.

I don't need any more hobbies right now, I really don't, but gosh, it's tempting to tinker with game development.
PICO-8 Fantasy Console

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by *gestures at all that*, so I went back and played one of my old games that was inspired by Ultima and its clones. I built it as an escape originally, and it still serves that purpose for me.

You can play it too (it's free, no ads or anything), if you also want to escape for a bit.

It's called "Ultimate Odyssey" and it's available here: https://lonespelunker.itch.io/ultimate-odyssey

In case you missed it, in November I made "IT 2: They/Them" a sequel to Stephen King's IT in which Pennywise is going through a bad breakup and approaches the Losers Club for help retrieving its record collection from its ex, They/Them. It's an open world turn-based puzzle platformer and takes about an hour to finish.

You can play it for free on itch: https://twinbeard.itch.io/it2/

NEW POST:

I'm delighted to push my Christmas Game - Mari Lwyd's Pantri Panic into the world as part of the Pico 8 Advent Calendar Game Jam. Read (and play it!) here.

It's 4pm in December, what more are you going to do today?

Will that thing run #PICO8?

Not quite cozy, but I'm a fan of #PICO8 games, and this is a surprisingly good dungeon crawler: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=119614#playing

My kid likes Stardew Valley cave crawling.

My interplanetary soft-physics suika-like Cosmic Collapse is 40% off on Steam.
What happens if you merge two suns???

Been trying to pick up programming again with a bit of a game development on #pico8 , still very much relearning stuff again since I focused primarily on web design in terms of programming as that's what I had the most use for

Currently in the middle of making a little robot dating simulator which is a fun way to get used to logic and visual updating again.

Here's a couple of screenshots! :)

so... i've sorta lost track, but roughly two or three years ago i started making this little game. today I'm happy, but also a little sad, to be finally letting it go into the world. it's been a way for me to process so much.

i hope playing it will make you sad, thoughtful, and maybe make you laugh a little.

please boost if you think other folks would enjoy it too.

gone from 0.02 triangles per frame to just over 40

not optimized anywhere near as much as it could be, and also has rounding errors that might make edges not line up, but a lot closer to useful
