This might throw you back a few years, but I'm willing to make that choice!

Didn't felt any of my games today, so quickly threw together a game from my childhood!

Playable on itch and lexaloffle:

The mines are infested, so be carefull if you dare venture into the mountain!

Little gif showcasing the newly added mines/mountain area for the pixel art tileset I'm working on! The old caverns are full rails and minecrarts, transporting the riches of the mountains, but now vicious bats, skeletons and zombies are guarding the ores.

Lot of progress on stream today! Inspired by 1-bit, roguelikes and such, we embarked on the journey of creating a free tileset!

Do you have something you'd love to add? Comment down below, and we'll see if we can squeeze it into this!

"My Lovely Wife vs. 100 Draculas" is available now on itch and Lexaloffle BBS!

https://turdboomerang.itch.io/my-lovely-wife-vs-100-draculas

https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=139929

At the start of October, I set out to make a small game about fighting monsters where enemy limbs all had individual health pools and hitboxes, encouraging dismemberment and decapitation.

This is the end result, a 10-minute twin-stick shooter about cheerfully mutilating lanky, awkward draculas and eating their limbless torsos to restore health.

A heated battle between my lovely wife and 4 four-armed draculas brandishing various weapons.

@TurdBoomerang Such a goofy premise, I love it! Only managed the first few waves, but hey, first try! :D

This winter santa is too lazy to control the sleigh, it is up to you to pull him away (or into) the dangeruous krampus army!

Do you still remember this concept? Well now it is way more than that!

I have a working turn and combat system! Supports multiple player characters and as many enemies as you can fit on the screen!

The dungeon grumbles in the distance, will you be brave enough to wnter?

Several turns of the working combat system for my dungeon crawler! Supports multiple player characters and alternating turns between the player and enemies!

I promised a for the weekend, sadly it got delayed, but here it is!

It is about the progress that was made in the actual programming. Not much to share as the code is pretty easy, but here we go

Dear fam, check around the web for your games. I was just informed that someone submitted Downtream Dream to http://pog.com and http://y8.com and appears to possibly have been monetized.

The WHOIS for both implies they're run by the same ppl, does anyone know more about these sites?

Achie7240,
@Achie7240@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@ridgek @Liquidream The don't really answer, happened with me and Fred as well and I'm not sure if they ever answered either of us. They are just scraping itch for games upload and that's all, "classic" scam websites.

Achie7240,
@Achie7240@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@ridgek @Liquidream will have to look into that widget myself! Hope they will respond, I'm not that familiar with how to do takedowns so I just warned them with the possiblity but they ignored it alltogether

Get your gears ready, we going shopping! :pico8: ๐ŸŽฎ

Almost 100% working shop, with buying, re-selling, locking items for future and rerolling the shop!

Sadly I exhausted all the buttons, so I need to do something to free one up to progress to the garage!

Gif showcasing the shop funcionality. You can lock items for future and save them from re-rolls, reroll the whole shop, buy and sell items back!

Heads up :pico8: devs!

PICO-8 Gamer and Sign are hosting the very first instance of a hopefully reoccouring, dedicated PICO-8 jam! โญ

See you there! ๐Ÿค“ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

nylekyland, to Miyoo

I got a Miyoo Mini+ and Iโ€™m looking for game recommendations:

  • PICO-8
  • TIC-80
  • Homebrew NES, SNES, GB, GBC and/or GBA games (including GB Studio)
  • Worthwhile romhacks
  • Anything else??

Achie7240,
@Achie7240@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@nylekyland Guncho, Canyon Crisis, Birds With Guns, Beckon The Hellspawn, PicoKaiju, Charge! I absolutley love, but not sure what can run on the mini+ due to fake8 :\

I run a game review series called PicoShorts, maybe those worth a shot to test! https://github.com/Achie72/kofi-articles#picoshorts.

Another + is @nerdyteachers with his Pico-View PICO-8 zine, with reviewed games from the last month's releases! https://nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Pico-View/

And @rasterweb runs a Fake-8 compatibility test over at: https://2xlnetworks.notion.site/Anbernic-RG35XX-PICO-8-2430eb0ba0474dd595dcac8cef044b25 IIRC

Got myself some canvas again, and this time I just pulled up an image online and went at it! ๐ŸŽจ

Turns out, my fine brushes are really bad, they can't keep a thin line, hence the messy grass in the foreground.

Messed the trees up a pretty bad, but hey, no mistakes, just happy little accidents.

We got to paint for my birthday with my fiancรฉ, she had this really cool idea to try painting again (after doing it last like in 2nd grade of school), so I followed a little video along end ended up with this little piece!

Never been into &TraditionalArt as a pixelartist, but I'm gonna go back for canvas this weekend ... ๐ŸŽจ
