❓ How many ways are there to teach players how to play? We compiled a huge list of onboarding methods in a reference page for you! We even added free-to-play in-browser example games for each method so you can see them in action. Find out here: nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Game_... #gamedev #pico8

Collision Detection is one of the first major hurdles for new developers, especially in PICO-8. We made 8 tutorials that should help you understand and apply these different collision methods in your games. nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Colli... #gamedev #pico8

🌸Spring just isn't the same without cherry blossom, right? 16x16 PICO-8 extended palette Aseprite #pixelart #nature #flower #art #cherryblossom #sakura

Flowering cherry blossom, with one big flower and a few smaller ones on a dark branch to enhance the contrast between the colors.

🌼 Forget Me Not For today, quite coincidentally I drew some Forget Me Nots for the little exercise! So let's not forget our friends and let's enjoy the beauty of the slowly blooming spring! Aseprite 16x16 PICO-8 Extended Palette #pixelart #nature #flower #art #forgetmenot

The forget me nots at three difference stage of blooming. One just only starting to sprite, while the other is fully blooming.

"Kiting" is alive and well in my #AgeOfEmpires demake. This is a little stress test of the game, due to the rather small map this is probably one of the larger standoffs you'll see. #pico8 #sologamedev #gamedev #demake

I like 4-colour themed #picotron icons, but sometimes it's nice to be colourful too and I don't want to make everyone manage multiple icons. So.. standard colour mappings? (each row maps to a theme colour). meta.icon_themed could possibly still be optional but hidden for icon nerds.

Picotron icon editor showing four rows of colours that correspond to the four icon colours used by themes. A preview of the themed vs. colourful verison of the icon is show at the bottom left.

Thanks to all the folks that played my #pico8 games this past year, left comments, provided inspiration, and to those that donated a few bucks in appreciation. I consider myself a #hobbydev tried and true, but y'all make me feel like an #indiedev - Looking forward to see what 2025 will create.

Just a reminder that Solitomb plays perfectly well on a phone (and even better since the 1.1 update!) 💡 All you have to do is direct your phone's browser to krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb - once the page loads, you don't even need an internet connection anymore 🙈 #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame
