I updated the title screen for my #pico-8 game. I'm happy with what I have now, but I may try to animate some elements if I end up with enough space remaining on the cart:

Wizard Tower Part of the soundtrack for the video game Fortress Flipper, coming out soon!

Done with the next FF song: Wizard Tower! I wanted "wizard chilling" vibes. I see wizards as mysterious, flighty and unpredictable. I went with a mixed meter ,using a compound meter and irregular meter. (b/c wizards and their compounds and the irregular magic!)

Wonderful bit of juice there. I bet every future stream of Fat Goblins begins with the streamer doing exactly this, ha ha.

The Parking Garage Rally Circuit lyrics seem particularly appropriate here, ha ha.

I love your visuals. Looks incredible.

Right is definitely better, IMO. Hair on the left was too "sharp" and noisy.

Extremely impressive ๐Ÿ‘

Are you going to try to get your 32-bit support merged upstream, or was this a "just to see if I can" kind of exercise?

They said it couldn't be done... Jai compiled into 32 bit arm and running on my playdate. #gamedev #playdate

Awesome! :D

How hard was this to do? I don't know much about Jai. What does the cross-platform support look like currently?

PICO-8 Fantasy Console PICO-8 is a fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games and other computer programs.

I've found #pico-8 to be a lot of fun:

It's somewhat involved in that you have to do "real" programming in Lua (as opposed to visual scripting or whatever), but it's a cozy batteries-included environment with sample games that you can learn from.

The stunting looks super fun. Reminds me of Uniracers on the SNES.

I think it looks pretty good!

I usually just take a nap after work to clear my head a bit, then work for 2-3 hours in the evening.

Yeah, I just need to sit down and sort it out ๐Ÿ™‚

I literally just could not find the "create game page" button or whatever, lol. That said, I only looked for maybe 30 minutes. I should probably revisit that this weekend. It's something I've been putting off.

Understand the hesitation to return to the old project. Very easy to get spread too thin!

My trouble navigating Steam may very well be a "skill issue" on my part.

Is this the prototype that you're talking about?
cpav.itch.io/arena-survivor

I unfortunately can't play it because I only run Linux machines, but it looks pretty slick ๐Ÿ‘

I don't currently. I tried to set one up months ago, but the Steam backend is a labyrinth and I rage-quit that for a while, lol.

I'll ping you when I have one. And please ping me when yours is ready! Where are you publishing it?

Was not expecting to spend this long at all. Was a lockdown hobby project that spiraled out of control, ha ha.

Next game project is actually the same game, but not in Pico-8. Already have working scaffolding in C/Rust/Raylib :)

Looking forward to seeing your gameplay twists! :D

Thanks! I've been working on it evenings and weekends for >4 years now. It's become an obsession, lol.

Yours is looking great too! Is it going to a Fire Emblem kind of game?

@lokistriker.bsky.social, funny seeing you here. I played Steel Surge last night and this morning. I was playing the BBS version, but just picked up a copy on Itch because this game is too good.

Love how you used the #pico-8 color palette, and the "detachable" option mechanic. Incredible shmup! ๐Ÿ˜
