participated in a Pico-8 jam this weekend and made a little "bring kakigoori to your animal friends at the festival simulator" with @npckc.net and mabbees

I lean toward the more zoomed-out option as default with the option to zoom in.

I'm of the opinion that games are at their best when the main character starts out sleeping, and you can wake them up. I've also added a super important 'fall back asleep' flow so you can just ... go to sleep anytime during the game by holding the down button. Also ... yellow egg.

Maybe a boutique run of ~4-5 shorter paperback volumes? Might be more feasible from a printing/cost standpoint since perfect binding is easier and cheaper to source than hardcover. Less posh though.

Hope interest is strong cause these are such a gold mine of awesome history!

I’m sure you’ve been asked this many times before, but any plans to publish these as a single hardcover? Would be a pretty amazing book for collectors and enthusiasts, I think

Honestly, salamanders in general (not just axolotls) are one of those creature categories that I can Wikipedia binge for hours, they’re all so amazing!

Decided to make this little guy an axolotl! Thought it might work with the bubble theme and honestly I just love axolotls. Maybe I can make him an underwater home?

Have you tried Just One Boss? That one always gets me. I also liked Pizza Panda and Air Delivery.

I promise I'll get back to fully working on Umbra by the end of the week, the last couple weeks have been super busy, and ive done what i can. But for now enjoy this 16 seconds of me being bad at my own game.

I love a good PICO-8 manual! Did you print any?

My '90s-style manual for the 1KB PICO-8 game Lexaloffle and I made :)

Sounds good to me! And no pressure either way :)

I’m by no means an expert at collision (it’s kind of the bane of my existence too) but if you’d like some 1:1 definitely feel free to send me a message on here with details of your troubles / a playable version of what you’re trying to make and I’ll see if I can help!

Anything in particular you’re struggling with?

I do think that Paint Gal 64 sticks in the head a little more than Painting Gal 64. Evokes some thoughts of having the ability to slosh paint on objects and transform them, or going into paintings a la Mario 64.

Just kneejerk reactions of course, excited to see what you create!

Love seeing the different renders! Definitely excited to play it :)

Ooh, even one word - PAINTGAL 64 is pretty cool, that naming approach worked well for Macbat 64!

Absolutely, I’m a big Bubble Bobble fan!

Thanks! Looking forward to exploring the mechanics a bit!

Currently developing a little #racing game in #picotron and I am having a total blast. Can you recognize the car I am driving?
This is coming soon-ish, just need to get the sfx and transitions perfect.

I agree that the backtracking gets pretty tedious in DK64 and Tooie, though there’s something to be said about the story element / immersion that comes with taking control of different characters with their own backstories.

Getting to switch to Diddy or Mumbo blew my mind as a kid.

Hey you, I heard you like #picocad
so I made #picocad2 inside PicoCAD2

And here's a quick burst of a level from the test import I made this week. Even with some classic Hedge-Like automation set pieces at the end. There's a few possible paths to explore too. #gamedev #godot #indiedev #GodotEngine #screenshotsaturday

Can't forget the bubble-shooting animation!
