I swear, Gimmick 2 gives me the same dopamine hit that Celeste does. It’s downright punishing but also very forgiving with checkpoints.

Added some more movement options

There are some great resources on the Lexaloffle site! The PICO-8 zines in particular are great to print off and learn from.

@playtonicgames.com Got a weird little soft lock to report!

Loving Replaylee, by the way! :)

Ahhhh I didn't expect it to be this cute! I messed around with Line2D more and turns out it's the most underrated node in the entire Godot engine! #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #cozygame

I signed Little Rocket Lab back in November 2022!

Finally coming in 5 days, unbelievably excited to get it out there.

Such a long time coming, and it's *genuinely* one of the best games I've ever played

That's me done for today. 256 rooms defined so far, just another 256 to go. GFX are subject to change, but looking OK for me so far ;)

Quality of life Limited lives used to be a staple of video games. Until we got rid of them as a Quality of Life change. Until they came back again when we realized it's not that clear cut

wrote about quality of life game design stuff

started working on a new game with @holypersondev.bsky.social.

something something animal crossing, but also colony management and automation??? #gamedev #unity3d

That time I recreated one of my favorite pieces of video game music in PICO-8.

Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2!

I think we can all agree that every dev on every platform must post at least one blazing hot take about Silksong. To fail to do so would be to remove oneself from the frontlines of Important Discourse™️.

picoCAD 2 just broke 5000 wishlists on Steam!
Thank you so much everyone! ❤️❤️

Big thanks to the #Picotron community for the pre-launch feedback.
Have a great day!

This is really cool, someone on the pixel arty subreddit has made a pixelated font which is only two pixels tall. It’s not easy to read, but it’s a lot easier to read than I would expect it to be…

Would be neat for Pico8 projects…
