I've discovered the #arduboy this weekend and I'm head over heels - it feels like discovering #pico8 for the first time. Just a real rush. Made a little TenSum - Arduboy version. #gamedev #8bit

I've just updated Chunky Rally and added online highscores! Try beating my times <3 A big honest "Thank you" to everybody who already played it. It means the world to me! Play it here for free: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=151... or open it in #Picotron #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

It's finally spring! That means my games are back in season! Buying them to #support the creation of more nonsense is a great activity for the whole family! #sale #steam #gamedev

Scoresub for #picotron is out! Getting it to work with my MAKETEN clone "TenSum" was surprisingly easy. Really great design by Zep! Can't wait to play around with scoresub some more to create all kinds of online-ish projects. Asynchronous multiplayer games, highscore hunts etc. #gamedev

I think that is a great trait :) Here is a first draft. Their kid Yona is the one taking care of the chicken in the pen. Thank you for your suggestions!

Designing a whole world is a privilege, but I still need somebody to work at this animal shop. Does anybody have an idea for a character they'd like to see in this game? Rosemary Peaks is supposed to be a place for everybody and I want it's inhabitants to reflect that #picotron #gamedev #helpwanted

Big visual changes today. I changed tons of outlines, animations and other small stuff. Hopefully for the better! I'm also working on "Rosemary Peaks" inhabitants and their stories. Keeping track of who unlocks what is getting harder and harder. #screenshotsaturday #picotron #gamedev #cozygame

This week on "Rosemary Peaks": - made NPC's and Items more maintainable - enabled building and saving of user built structures - incorporated animals and the bug net - decided on and implemented a crafting system - created new environments, NPC's and items #picotron #gamedev #cozy #farmingsim

I finally found a name I liked - maybe I'll have to hide 1 to 2 Coopers in there now. Work on the game is going great, it is still a lot of fun. If you want to see it in action: youtu.be/C8zlZPO2r7U #gamdev #picotron

Enjoy the process of experimenting with your produce. Still working on this nameless cozy game. Do you have opinions on these names? Ivy Hollow (too short?) Cozy Hollow (too generic?) Rosemary Hollow (sweet spot?) #help #picotron #gamedev

Happy #Screenshotsaturday! I'm still working on my #cozygame. I now have a fishing minigame, working and walking NPC's and finally an idea for a nice story. I will enjoy trying to make my farming/life sim feel distinct. No. 1 : You will start without a place of your own. #picotron #gamedev

I'm sadly sick at the moment, but that means I have tons of time to code. It is starting to feel like a real game now! I have a few ideas to avoid the generic #cozygame niche, but do let me know if you have wishes/ideas. #picotron #gamedev #pixelart

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! #picotron #gamedev

I'd like to see your #FragmentFriday ideas, games you started working on but never finished. Mine is a redo of my Half Life #demake in the style of Zelda. . . . #picotron #gamedev #halflife

How to get away from it all: Try my little Space thingy in #pico8: You'll be able to build & fly your own ship, trade a bit, mine and fight pirates or become one yourself. Features the very futuristic space currency "coins" #gamedev #8bit #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I just published Chunky Rally - PICO-8 version! Satisfying drifts, high score hunts, and guaranteed fury when you hit that tree that just wouldn't move out of the way! Play for free: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=153... #release #pico8 #indiedev #gamedev #racing #freegames

Menu design is hard, but I am getting closer to something I like. I probably need a main menu screen, too, but most #pico8 players hopefully appreciate being able to jump straight in to the action. . . #indiedev #gamedev #racing

Getting people to try a free game seems harder than getting them to try a paid one. Maybe a little teaser will do the trick. Play for free: taxicomics.itch.io/chunky-rally #picotron #gamedev #racing #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I'm working on an update for "Chunky Rally", my drifty racing game. This update will introduce a track editor with easy to share custom races. @xietanu.bsky.social has been incredibly helpful with the development - I can't wait to try the races that people come up with! #picotron #gamedev #racing

I had the honor to contribute a game to the 2025 #pico8 advent calendar. May I present to you: Glorious Glühwein! A diner dash game about selling hot drinks on a christmas market. Thank you so much @kevinthompson.bsky.social and bikibird for putting this together www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=153...

This year I released “Bloodletting”-a real-time #roguelike built in #pico8. Now I am turning it into a “Zelda-like” RPG. Current design twist: the weapon is unlocked *after* the first dungeon-players must clear it using only their dash.Tight, risky, and oddly satisfying #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I just finished "Chunky Rally", my new #racing game. You can play it here for free and in browser: taxicomics.itch.io/chunky-rally Big thanks to the #Picotron community for the pre-launch feedback. Have a great day! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart

Currently developing a little #racing game in #picotron and I am having a total blast. Can you recognize the car I am driving? This is coming soon-ish, just need to get the sfx and transitions perfect. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #retrogaming

One aspect I might have neglected to advertise because I am so used to it now: My upcoming game is REALLY small. One curator liked that :) It is 1/10th the size of it's own trailer video. The perks of #Picotron and #retrogaming! #gamedev

I just became an uncle, this was cut on my sisters couch, but: Journey Through The Nightmare Realm II will #release next saturday, 11th of July! Co-op twinstick bullett hell action in #Picotron. store.steampowered.com/app/3784870/Journey_Through_The_Nightmare_Realm_II/ #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

#SteamSummerSale is in full swing-this is your chance to grab my games at a hefty discount! Housekeeping to Room 501 was released last November and is a story driven PSx work simulator. Ghostist is a 2D #ghosthunting game with a focus on an arcade-y feel. #indiedev #gamedev

Currently working on the difficulty ramping for "Journey Through The Nightmare Realm II"-this map might be a bit too punishing,even with a fully upgraded shield and a flamethrower. Pretty colors though <3 Feel free too wishlist, this is coming out soon! #picotron #screenshotsaturday #soloindiedev

Getting Journey Through The Nightmare Realm II ready for the Steam Deck is a ton of work,but it is really rewarding :) I'm going to do a long form post on lexaloffle about the process once I'm done with publishing it so that you,too, can publish your #picotron games on Steam #gamedev #steamdeck

I added flames (and a flamethrower) and overhauled the HUD, the release of "Journey Through The Nightmare Realm II" is getting closer and closer :) #picotron #soloindiedev #bullethell

Finally understood color tables in #picotron thanks to washburnello and wrote a guide on how to use them www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=149... Color tables enable all kinds of effects at almost no cost, and I really hope that this will enable everybody to use them. #gamedev
