I am playing with a new prototype to distract myself from the main game... idk brains? #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame #idiegamedev

Looking great! Restricting the player's view was a nice addition

Can't pay homage to BurgerTime without a pepper powerup! Although, this one is a little spicier!

#pico8 #indiedev #gamedev

Added a speed boost powerup to my zombie game. Shown as a lightning bolt because running shoes are really hard to draw at this resolution

#pico8 #indiedev #gamedev

Spot on! BurgerTime meets Zombies Ate My Neighbors is what I’m aiming for

as a bonus, they look cool with the sonar effect too!

This seems like a really interesting mechanic!

Can the player move while their sonar is active? So players could sort of “dimension jump” through the red environment using the revealed blue environment?

Thanks Jack! I spent countless hours playing the CoD WAW zombies so adding a similar powerup felt fitting

Added a new powerup to my Pico-8 zombie game. Now you can smite every zombie in the level

It's not an arrcade game without ammo pickups and 1-UPs!

Oh, no! Who gave them bombs?

Thanks! You can enable drawing inverted shapes in Pico-8 using the poke function, poke(0x5f34, 0x2).

There’s a great written tutorial by @nerdyteachers.bsky.social on how to draw inverted shapes in Pico-8 the 2024 Q1 Pico View web-zine: nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Pico-...

Really liked the level transition effect so I reused it for the player death animation. Makes for a much smoother level reset

#pico8 #indiedev #gamedev

Added a Spelunky-style iris-out level transition on reaching the exit. Really starting to feel like a proper game now

Been making more levels for my Pico-8 zombie game this week

Proving tough to squeeze in enough variety when every level has to fit into a single screen

#pico8 #indiedev #gamedev

Raised the stakes! On rescuing the last tenant, zombies continuously spawn into the top of the building so you better get to the exit fast!

How to get away from it all:
Try my little Space thingy in #pico8: You'll be able to build & fly your own ship, trade a bit, mine and fight pirates or become one yourself. Features the very futuristic space currency "coins"

Thanks! Still loads to do, but it’s all starting to come together!

Was surprised at how much more polished it looks just adding the background tiles in

Added a scoring system and a HUD to keep track of everything

Also added some brickwork to the background as it was looking a little empty

Thanks! I’d love to include more for variety but I’m currently leaning towards just having the one zombie death animation to save of spritesheet space

PICO RPG : Forest Tileset by Cluly Small 32x128 Forest tileset.

I updated my little #pico8 forest tileset. It's free, have fun. #pixelart #gamedev #itchio cluly.itch.io/pico-rpg-for...

Currently lacking screenshake, but now the player can blast zombies back to where they came from!

#pico8 #indiedev #gamedev

Love that idea! Will be implementing this next

Took multiple attempts to mock up a decent death animation for the zombies

They're undead though, so re-animating them felt appropriate...
