The real Minion. The one with more W.I.P.s than there are stars in the (blue)sky.
A girl I (we, as there were several of us) used to know, would get called 55378008 ...she never understood why, but we were very cruel back then :(

Yup ..A.I.is the future :(
Tonight, simple maths eludes me :(

18.10.2025 13:39 β π 51 π 13 π¬ 3 π 1I turned it off. Don't need it and want to save power.
17.10.2025 10:35 β π 29 π 8 π¬ 0 π 0Few issues at home, but now back on track and things are getting real ;) #Pico8 #GameDev #StarQuake #Remake
15.10.2025 10:54 β π 10 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Woohoo ! When I'm happy with my map data I can crunch it down from a whopping 1120 tokens, to a rather impressive 160 :) Now that's a saving I'm happy with. Still occupies 15.1Kb of actual chars tho :( #Pico8 #GameDev

11.10.2025 18:20 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Please don't limit it to just the Elk. Would love one for the range of Acorn machines (excl. Arch of course)

09.10.2025 12:47 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That'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 ;)

I've still got mine ;) And to this day I still read through it when I'm coding games. Relevant or not, I still believe it helps me :) I also got mine free, not the Β£1.95 asking price (can't remember which advert I applied to to get the free version tho :( )
03.10.2025 15:45 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0LOL, aye, maybe ...now its in position 1,203 :)
01.10.2025 19:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Funny that. Was just looking thru my projects folder (its a huge list that could take weeks to go through !) and I stopped on my remake of Magic Mushrooms ;) I only got as far as defining the grafix (tiles where shrunk to 6x4 pixels) but still looked ok. Maybe one day ill get back and do it ;)
01.10.2025 16:32 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That is a remarkable job. You look at some of the games for the Elk and Beeb back in the day and they suffer so much from flicker, but I've yet to see any flicker in this. Really is very nice and polished :)
01.10.2025 07:50 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Q: Would a game such as Knight Lore or Head Over Heels or GunFright be classed as a (3d) physics engine ? #GameDev

16.09.2025 17:56 β π 17 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0Another obscure arcade tile from way back when that I've started a remake of. Can you guess what it is ? #Pico8 #GameDev #Remake #Retro
14.09.2025 20:35 β π 15 π 3 π¬ 0 π 0I live in the UK. Its a shit hole. Its going to pot. The place is a mess and the government is shockingly bad. I'd say it could well be one of the worst places on the planet. But look on the bright side, at least I don't live in America.
08.09.2025 12:07 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Blimey. Looking back over some of the WIPs I've let slip is a shame. Some of those games looked bloody gorgeous. Games like Zaxxon and BankPanic! and Gyruss and Wizadore and 1942 plus many many more. All well into development. I really should sit down and finish at least one of them ;) #Pico8
05.09.2025 15:40 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Half way ? Wow, you really do get far in your games... I barely finish anything ;)
05.09.2025 12:03 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Ive got a wip of this I can put to bed now ;)
05.09.2025 09:14 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Hope things calm down soon. Can fully understand. Damn this thing called life getting in the way of game dev !
17.07.2025 21:59 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Can I ask, why was the review of my game taken down ?
