Any underrated pico-8 games I should play? Want to explore more of the library beyond the featured tab

This is a really neat prototype! I could absolutely see this being explored further

Gotcha - no worries. I think for this game the biggest thing Iโ€™ll need help with is playtesters. Good to know for a future game!

PICO 8 Music Theory for Programmers by Jenny Schmidt (bikibird) How Music Works

I have been using the Pico-8 engine and found this music theory basics guide - I found it super helpful!

Thanks! ๐Ÿ™ I am getting very close to a playtestable alpha build so I may take you up on this

Feeling proud of myself that I was able to compose music for my own game (with some small pointers from friends)

Of course ! I think having a playable demo could be a good goal, that way you can get feedback and know if youโ€™re on the right track. If you feel itโ€™s working thereโ€™s nothing stopping you from iterating on it further or call that a release and make the sequel more ambitious

Shorter to complete - I think finishing things is its own skill imo

I feel like when Iโ€™m working on something I sort of just forget to post. I went to an indie game meetup and ppl asked โ€œwhere they can follow my projectโ€ and I got no answer ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Nice work! I had a lot of fun with this one

Omg this looks incredible- Iโ€™ll take a look when I get some time. Thanks ๐Ÿ™

Trying to make art in pico-8 without using too many sprite slots is a fun but challenging puzzle. Choosing what to draw and not based on a larger sprite requires some really clever tradeoffs.

Anyone have any advice for picking up trigonometry/geometry stuff for game dev? I am currently using AI code completions for more tricky parts but would like to have at minimum a baseline understanding of what I am receiving.

This is what happens when you believe the hype that vibe coding means you just need an โ€œidea guyโ€ to build a startup.

The technology may get there someday but todayโ€™s LLM-based AI coding agents ainโ€™t it.

Yes lady who misgenders me constantly and makes mildly inappropriate comments about our coworkers, the New York Mayoral election IS a travesty ๐Ÿ™„

I mean itโ€™s gotta be more powerful than the Switch and that can play a number of 3D games yeah ? I get I canโ€™t get the newest of the new but Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s gotta be more than emulators here

Thinking of getting a Steam Deck - anyone have thoughts? Is it worth it?
