As we come out of spooky season, it's time to start looking ahead to the winter holidays, and the #pico8 advent calendar! The elves are already hard at work on a collection of games for this year's calendar, but we could still use your help.

pocotron 🤔

would make a chibby version of POOM! 👌

ah là ça devient carrément méta

ah gourdiflot semble être le pendant masculin de gourdasse

I must I would not be against a color scheme DLC 😬

3 Years Later, Playdate Is Still Gaming's Best-Kept Secret With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it.

impressed by the contact stability.
are you doing anything special? (like keeping previous contacts?)

and in psi per inch^2 for good measure?

c’est effectivement trop choupinou et tellement Lego (sans les trucs moches que tu as construit dans ta chambre 😬)

something like c# (say) will come with ‘built-in’ network, json (and xml) parsing, threading… that somewhat ease development when you don’t have the luxury of a framework team (and not trying to coerce you into jumping ship!)

I respect that 👌
(ever contemplated newer languages for a single dev team?)

coding in what? c++? c#?

xm…what?
why using this antiquated format (compared to json or yaml or a custom dsl)?

correct answers are:
retry / later

time to fire #pico8 and make that a game!

neat effect!
(tbh since spritesheet rebasing + himem this is no longer necessary but oh well 🤷‍♂️)

thinking about it - on turn, a slight rotation of the camera could do wonders (minor tilt + some left/right?)

so the yellow guys are keeping their heads? unfair :)

ahaha - hope you never meet Sega programmers :)

is tunnel is an actual mesh? the perspective on exit is 👌

trick: index your localized strings with the english text. the key acts as a fallback if the localized entry doesn’t exist.

for those wondering- #pico8 on the left!

at this point, let’s rename pico8 to adam8 🤣
