#Picotron is my game engine of choice and my favorite computer. I'd love for more people to try it, and I hope that creating little tutorials will lower the boundary.

A screenshot of Fly Fight. It shows two computer monitors side-by-side, indicating the zero-player "COM vs. COM" mode.

New features for Fly Fight! I've added a zero-player mode for the authentic fly fighting experience, and color selection options for the flies. Enjoy! #pico8

MOSS β€” A Painting Toy Where Every Brush Is a Tiny Program A 128x128 pixel canvas with programmable brushes. Code a brush, see what it does, share it with your friends.

we put out a new free thing at @brainfruit.bsky.social today, a pixel-painting toy called MOSS. i'm not a great or even good pixel artist but i love noodling on a cozy constrained canvas with weird brushes and infinite undos. it's at the centroid between asesprite, procreate, and pico8 www.moss.town

Endless Marble Racing by brook.p8 A new race every minute

The zero-player game is an insufficiently explored #pico8 space, now that I think about it. This is the only example that leaps to mind (and it's a gem, for the record).

A little pseudo 3d environment I was working on for a game that will be the successor of snippo.
The actual game environment might not be so dense though, but for testing it looks nice.

Getting a bunch of work done on the editor and map data. There's still a bunch of things I want to add to it, but now to fix some of the logic issues that were not noticeable in A Short Bike.

New to this platform, so still figuring out how this works.
I've been working on this little game for like a year. This is the first actually sizeable project I started in pico8 and it's about to be released on itch.

First video clip of my #picotron #gridrunner game. Demoing the massively overpowered double ghost-ships.

Some zones have an invisible grid and instead show a star field which seems to work pretty well, especially when used in conjunction with the phoenix-type bird enemies.

Working on a cozy game for fun.
It is hard to strike a balance between creating deep, versatile systems and systems that are shallow enough so that you can actually fill them with content.
Side note: Color tables are the best thing ever. Seasons are just one palette shift away!
