Did an irl fishing trip for first time in a long time. Which led to the question: "What if you could use items as bait... any item" Totally not related to my playtesters' tendencies to chuck random junk in the lake. #pico8

CASELAKE Take to the lake and catch fish to fit into your oversized briefcase: using guns! Sell fish ashore to buy more guns, ammo, and upgrades. But remember: Some things are better thrown back. Early half-baked prototype for #summerslowjams: munro.itch.io/caselake

Hmm I have rotational item sprites and the enemies double as items. what if I just... yeah there's gas here. #pico8 #pixelart #indiedev

Testing out some improvements to the rotation system using seagulls. Plan is they'll try to steal your fish and are annoying to fit. #pico8 #pixelart

I may have started another inventory tetris game. It's about fishing. Using guns. To sell fish to buy more guns. Hoping to finish up a playable prototype, cross my fingers. #pico8 #pixelart #indiedev

Teaching a little #picoCAD 2 intro workshop at #ITPCamp2026 today. Doing a simple chest model as example but then got kind of into it. Can't wait to see what others make! #lowpoly

Continuing to address my longest running playtester feedback: the default pico8 font is hard to read. Finally made the switch over to the more legible large font for the patrons. #pixelart #pico8 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Continuing on tutorial and polish after playtesting. Designing it to be playable at a fast pace. Also accounting for the player going off script with a load of edge case checks. Ordered couple NES-style controllers to slap 🅾️❎ stickers on! #pico8 #pixelart #indiedev

Munro @munrowyman.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Working on an interactive tutorial to make the controls more immediate. Using highlights and fading out other walls to direct attention, will see how it all holds up in next playtest! #pico8 #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

"Xenos" (293 chars) We tried signal communication at first but their glyphs were strange and incomprehensible. No matter, once we teach them YNXUWPZ and OXRJOO, they’ll be screaming IPQHEEECYE like the rest of us. #pico8 #pixelart #postcart #indiedev

Alleviating a longstanding play-tester gripe about illegible text, with auxiliary large text that shows what you're hovering over. Great that fonts persist between carts so can offload onto title cart. Apologies to those subjected to font crimes. #pico8 #pixelart #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Munro @munrowyman.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

Working on title screen with added attract screen. Ironically, optimizing the title cart as it bloated into being larger than main game. It still needs a lot code to display the tutorial/attract screen, though not the second player/win screen. Hmm, third cart the charm? #pico8 #pixelart #gamedev

Working on the tutorial with an automated walkthrough. Seemed to be getting basics across at last play-test though clunkily. So cutting down to focus on just the essentials! #pico8 #pixelart #gamedev
