I've been playing with PICO-8 for a few days, and it's sooo cool! All the tools you need for making little things in a very cozy environment 🥰

(also drawing 8x8 pixel art is quite difficult 🥲)

Ok, so the cool news are delayed to next week BUT I'm sharing a little gif of what's coming! 🤠

21 so far days crafting an ECS custom engine! 🔨

Currently have:

💓 Core ECS systems.
⚙️ Transform, Sprite, Animation, Rigidbody components/systems.
📝 Basic Assets Manager & Logger.
🗺️ Loading tilemaps from LDtk format.

(Thanks to @kenney.bsky.social for the cool assets! 👾)

Some months ago, I completed the 2D Physics Engine in C++ course by @pikuma.com (video below!)

Now, it's time to start the 2D Game Engine in C++ course! I'm excited to learn some game engine architecture and build a little project meanwhile 🤓

[ i love coding this silly things :') ]

So, a visual example here. You destroy a tree, the tree spawns a zombie. You kill a zombie... it turns back into a tree 🌲

And building that behaviour took me like 15 seconds with the tool (screenshot and explanation on next post 👇)

Advancing with the roguelike proto, now I have a super cool components system to play with!

I.e: create trees that when die drops wood. Or have an enemy turn into a tree when dies. Or trees that drop enemies when hitted 🪄

And all this just from the Unity inspector! (technical nerd info down 🤓⬇️).

I've been playing lots of Caves of Qud lately, so it was impossible to resist the URGE to prototype a little roguelike system this holidays 🫣

It's made on Unity, full MVP so super easy to tweak and add UI, nice visuals or even change the engine. Let's see how far I can reach until next year! 🙌

Sooo we are working on Flying Rocks, a Fantasy Automation game where everything flies through air! Like Factorio but dwarfs and magic ⛏️👑

We want it to be a community driven game, so we have a Discord server with EARLY builds. Join us, have fun & tell us what you think! 💝
