voidgazerBon<p>I can finally consider this game finished! Took me almost two years to revisit and fix things I didn’t know how to handle back then.

Ben Jones<p>If the 3D space is always going to be a square, you can draw walls using a single-step raycaster for a more modest CPU cost and ~200 tokens. Really did this to see if it would work, not sure it's flexible enough longterm.</p><p>Sure I will eventually want "not a square".</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pico8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pico8</span></a></p>

2something<p>Blobun Mini, a free Pico8 game by <a href="https://chitter.xyz/@roxy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@roxy@chitter.xyz</a><span>, is out today on Steam and Itch. It's based on their earlier game Blobun, the cute Hamiltonian-path puzzle game with a story about a lesbian slime bunny. <br><br>The new game is not a direct port of the original: it's 60 new levels with the same core gameplay. <br><br>The mini version lacks the story of the main game, but it does still feature the "lesbian toggle" to make homophobes angry.<br><br>I completed the whole thing in just under 70 minutes of play time: it felt easier than the "main" game, but maybe that's just because I had more practice having already completed that one. <br><br></span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/Blobun" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blobun</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/BlobunMini" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlobunMini</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/LesbianToggle" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LesbianToggle</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/Pico8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pico8</a></p>
David Keck<p>Had a lot of fun with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/pico8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pico8</span></a> today and made a little animated tribute to one of my favorite artists, Christoph Niemann. I saw his piece "Winter Path" again today and decided to try to recreate it in PICO8.

Pico/Retro<p>I dropped the three-star scoring mechanic. You are now awarded a rosette for completing a level, and can hunt for the buried bone as a secondary goal. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Pico8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pico8</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/PuzzleGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PuzzleGame</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ThinkyGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkyGame</span></a></p>
