My new game ATTACK AXIS is finally out! Check it out on the BBS or at spratt.itch.io/attack-axis 💥💥💥 Here's a gif of me getting destroyed by the CPU player 😅 #pico8

More surreal rendering tests for #picotron 0.3.1, this time with tline3d textures x colour tables. Notes and gif: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=193...
Checking that quad boundaries join up with no holes or overlaps. This one kind of reminds me of a colour plate from an 80s siggraph paper. #picotron
Video #2 in my series about how to program games in Pico-8 for total beginners is up! We talk about tables, random numbers, for loops, the modulo operator, and other stuff that leads to ultimately making a scrolling star field with a spaceship that shoots bullets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1E5...

I think programming concepts are better explained with cute cartoon bugs sharing cookies, how about you
this is how professional "game devs" add "juice" to their games.. take note... #picotron
I made a bee game in 36 hours for DTJ36! 🐝 It's called... Bees Wax! (lol) 🧱 Place pieces of honeycomb 🐝 Get bees! 🌷 Place exits for the bees to get pollen 🍯 Honey!! Check it out here: lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=158322 Or find it directly in Pico-8 by running "load #beeswax"!
More batch lerp() / line() tests for #picotron 0.3.1 The batch lerp can take a table of parameters that are each themselves an index into a quad definition. There's something like 3 layers of indirection going on there, but it enables a very tiny per-quad inner loop. (1000 polys / 60fps / 55% cpu)
Explore a mysterious planet, find powerful upgrades, and fulfill your destiny! You can wishlist or preorder the game on the Nintendo eShop: www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

verison 0.5.1 of my tempest 2000 port to pico-8 is now posted. this is very close to gameplay complete and next step is replacing placeholder sfx and adding more music. www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=158... #shmup #shmups #pico8 #retrogaming

Sometimes it's easier to visualize low-level #picotron runtime bugs using a renderer, but with the added risk of spending time playing with pretty glitches.
I'm kicking off a series of videos for absolute beginners who want to learn programming games. Pico-8 is a fantastic engine for devs who have been at it for 10 years or 10 seconds, so join me and let's make some fun stuff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH9-...

Really cool to see one of my games get featured on the Lexaloffle BBS! Thought it was fitting to revisit it and fix some potential softlocks, and add a checkpoint/save system so the game can now be completed over multiple play sessions if desired. www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=142... #pico8
Hey #PortfolioDay? I make little games for fun (mostly in #pico8). You can play them on www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=79679 or voidgazerbon.itch.io #gamedev #indiegames

New Seal of Solitomb trailer! 🎉 Really happy with how it turned out. Sadly in 30fps here - if you want to see it in all its glory, the Steam page has you covered 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3377230/... Might as well wishlist while you're there! 😉 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev
given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake
