A lot of the artwork in "From Rust to Ash" went into making sprites for the items, really pushed what I felt comfortable with, but the #pico8 palette and the limitations of 16 colors on the screen made it easier to push the art I could do

Some of the games in #sebi16 gets extra polish! ✨
The one-button game Oh High! is one of them! 🦜

This has to be one of the best one-button games in pico8! Great to see you are putting it in sebi16!

Ive got a lot of feedback for my game, which has been really good! There are more typos than Id like to admit, but no game crashes! Im currently compiling them to do a small patch soon. The rest of recommendations I'm writing down for maybe something down the line #pico8 #gamedev

So pretty! What palette was used for this one?

David Fields @lokistriker.bsky.social · Aug 29

Best of luck! Looking forward to see the future of the project!

David Fields @lokistriker.bsky.social · Aug 28

Late to the party, but not too late to share a good post to remind people to take it slow and one step at a time.

Been really happy with the reception of the game so far, feel very happy to be now on the other side of the finish line.

Picotron still has some limitations! CPU being a very important one. But yes, the token removal will make a lot more projects be possible that use the tools provided by Zep.

David Fields @lokistriker.bsky.social · Aug 27

Well, Zep is very much a one-man army. There have been attempts at making a native android launcher by the community, but none on iOS that id be aware of.

David Fields @lokistriker.bsky.social · Aug 27

So, pico8 tries to be kin to old consoles by setting limitations. The limitation set on code is measured by these "tokens" which you can have only so many in a program. I've maxed them out on my game. Its a built-in limitation. Makes development focused for us devs, but it's bad for expandability.

What an honor! Tysm!

David Fields @lokistriker.bsky.social · Aug 27

Hmmm... It really depends on how the game does. It does have good polish but its a "small game" to Steam players, and I cant expand on it due to tokens. Beyond that, if the game does make decently well on Itchio... Yeah, I would consider a Steam release. And thank you for following the development!🙏

Finally, the project is done! In less than 24 hours, the game will be out on Itch.io and lexaloffle.com. It has been quite a journey, but we got to the finish line! #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

I gotta second this. Is a huge part over why I actually get to finish games I start. Getting something going, and slowly carve the look as I work on it.

voidgazerBon @voidgazerbon.bsky.social · Jul 27

I love this trend - seeing the other people's prototype right next to the finished version is so cool. Let me share mine #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #devlog #memes #pico8
