Working an editor for A Short Bike Plus (deluxe?) with auto-tiling so making changes will be fast and players can make their own levels.

Move trees around
Bonk into walls

While fixing bugs for #picotron 0.2.2 I ended up yak-shaving quite far into future features, so here's what native window exports look like.

tldr: export -n foo.bin to get a binary that runs as an arbitrary sized window directly on the host desktop.

Trying out chooser() for #picotron 0.2.2: a simpler way to select one or more files / carts / folders without messing around with create_process() and on_event() to interact with filenav.

Added a temp shop, viewing the draw and discard pile (sorted to prevent order info), unit playing restrictions, and the start of the opponent's AI. (will eventually add health indicators)

Getting closer to a proper combat loop.

And finally, nuworm, a free web game that I'm really excited to see is finished! It's a sokoban game where you're a little eyeball thing that can jump between weird fleshy tube things! Every puzzle is so tightly designed.

I've barely posted on this kind of social media anywhere but I have a reason to now. I made a game!!

It's called nuworm and you can play it for free in the browser.
I worked on it over three years, it might take you three hours to experience. cubestudio.itch.io/nuworm
generative art I made with p5.js that matches the color scheme and theme of my game nuworm. sort of a microbiome of geometric shapes at different scales with dithering applied on top.

"Oh sure, let me instantly generate every storefront image at once" is something no game developer ever said... until I added this feature to Kenney Game Assets All-in-1! 🎉
