Working on a ground spike attack, but right now they look a bit like fence posts, still figuring out the telegraphing and outlines for attacks

Sliding Puzzle by Kieron Scott Simple take on the classic 15 Slider Puzzle

So I got around to releasing my game over at ryancavendell.itch.io/sliding-puzzle, now I've managed to get the first game of the year released time to start working on the next one! #pico8 #puzzle #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

So I finally got some basic music added and included sound effects. For just under 2 weeks of messing, it's pretty simple but I'm happy with it. Need to sort out some simple marketing materials for before uploading to Itch.io. #pico8 #puzzle #indiegame #gamedev

Iโ€™ll keep adding PICO-8 people to the starter pack as I discover them. Feel free suggest adds!

Yes, most people tag posts with #pico8, i know someone has a starter pack with a bunch of pico8 developers (forgot who though...). There is also a pico8 discord which people use.

Thank you, first time I've tried to actually use some of my more traditional art skills. I could do better but the amount of hours I'd need to pour into it in order to improve the quality won't match my goals here. I'm very happy with the outcome though.

Finished all the artwork now, got the gameplay completed now. All that I need to do is add in some sound effects and music track to go along with it then I will be able to release the game. For something I just threw together without thinking about it, very happy #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Finished up the doormouse picture, now working on a cabin in the woods picture. Will slowly work on it. Did manage to put in a few VFX into the game, also need to add some basic sound effects and then a background audio track. #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Been working in the evening to try and do some artwork for my game, been a while since I've this kind of work. It's been going ok so far, hopefully I will manage to finish off the doormouse. No idea what else to do though :/ #pico8 #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

I've finished up all the core functionality except audio (it's completely silent at the moment). I can resize the play area, swap between images and coloured rectangles, and you can import 64x64 .pngs to use as your own images. #pico8 #indiegame #gamedev

So put in a little bit more time and pretty much got all the main controls down now. I need to implement sliding via mouse next and then redo the whole code for splitting up an image into different tiles, but it's looking good. #pico8 #indiegame #gamedev

15 puzzle - Wikipedia

It's my take on 15 puzzle (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle), basically you have a single tile in a grid that's missing and then try to rearrange the tiles to go back into order from 1 to 15. There are a bunch of potential avenues I could take it in the terms of other ideas but for now basic game.

90's RPG by Kieron Scott An old RPG dredged up from the past.

Not posted a lot as either between being sick or transcribing an old #ttrpg I wrote back in the 90's been quite busy, however I did finally get around to publishing the
#rpg over at ryancavendell.itch.io/90s-rpg. I wrote it when I was a young teenager, well, it's published now so I can move on.

Managed to squeeze in a bit of time to work on the lighting system for a game. Managed to massively improve the lighting effects, texture packing, and how to render the whole screen compared to 4 years ago. #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame

Been busy lately with life and also trying to finish up editting an RPG I wrote 30 years ago, while doing that I stumbled across some old artwork I did for a game with a friend of mine. #pixelart

Tidied up the title sequence a bit, also added in some of the transitions and potential map solution. Need to discuss with the 7 3/4 yo designer to see where she wants to take the game next. I do know I need to create some icons for trash/rubbish and then some placeables #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame

Think I've managed to get the title sequence mostly done now that I've had a few minutes to think and program for the first time in a couple of weeks. #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame

Or ask for a specific game (that isnt picoquest, it's my main seller)

Lexaloffle Games

If there is a lexaloffle.com version that's missing, or clearly out of date you can always let me know and I can correct that. You are able to download the p8.png file from there and covert it .p8 yourself.

While the creator day is over at itch.io, the sale is still running. Got to say, been prefering it over at bluesky than twitter as I actually feel like the platform isnt trying to suppress my posts and then use my content for AI. #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame

However most games do have a slightly outdated version on lexaloffle over at www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=43473, so you can always pick up an older slightly restricted version there. The core code in basically the same minus the latest fixes.

Some yes, most no. Tiny Rogue, NOG Arcade, Simple RPGs, and Screensaver Games include the .p8 files. I didn't include .p8 files as they were badly done and didnt want people to use them for examples, so I could add but PicoQuest is likely the one I wouldn't add a .p8 file until I do a sequel.

It's just a great show! My partner keeps telling me that they were secretly recording me to model bandit on, fluffies and all.

Between a 7 year old, a 1 year old, and my partner without any kids present, I think I have seen it about 4 or 5 times all the way through XD
