Hobby gamedev using #pico8 - BlueSky is my social home now, lets talk there:

I was featured in Retro Gamer #268 about my #pico8 games. Thanks to @RetroGamer_Mag for the opportunity to share!

Happy to talk more over on BSky or on Itch: https://t.co/GBlWEMOjyF

I think I'm gonna try my tweeting game over on BlueSky and see how it feels. I kinda miss the sharing. Hope to see you there: https://t.co/GBlWEMOjyF

Burned through this sucker with a smile on my face. Such an amazing time with so many games. Funny thing is at the time I had no idea how “new” shareware was. To me it’s just how games came. #dosgaming #shareware #goodreads

@ThatTomHall Most of my friends were all "Dude, you have to play Goldeneye!" And I was always telling them I'd been playing FPSes for years and always pointed to ROT as a high point thanks to its over the top gore. It was a LAN favorite for sure.

[Brian Vaughn @MorningToast]

Sweeeeeet. Gotta remember this one come summer.

A flower in Don't Dig Up the Dead? #pico8 player Axul shared his discovery but does the flower mean anything? Regardless, it's nice to see some beauty in a game about fear and spooky spirits. Play: https://t.co/h1DoJQEhbW #horror #shmup #funchallenge

The @spudcats guys did an honest play of Don't Dig Up the Dead and it was fantastic. Reminded me of childhood trying to figure out games with my friends. Fun stuff.

Searching for 3 magic relics, digging up items, changing stats for better or worse, equipping a toilet seat, releasing spirits with every dig, finally found a relic, battling the spirits and digging everywhere in Don't Dig Up the Dead by @MorningToast

@spudcats ...and if you give it another shot, the Item List in the manual will be a big help.

[Brian Vaughn @MorningToast]

@spudcats Thanks guy! Watching this was wonderful. All the joy, frustration, and discovery you guys went through was exactly what I'd hope players would experience. No game is perfect but I appreciate you giving it an honest play and making it entertaining.

Gonna have to dig out my "Switched on Bacharach" record and give it a spin tonight.

"The songwriting world has lost its Beethoven today": Brian Wilson, Diane Warren, Paul Stanley and more pay tribute to Burt Bacharach following his death at the age of 94. https://t.co/cYUcFRmPLI

In case you needed a mid-day jolt of Macho Madness in your life.

The Deluxe Edition of Don't Dig Up the Dead also includes a special trainer cart that lets you practice fighting those darn Sleepers. Use the "dip switches" to change settings and attacks. Practice makes perfect: https://t.co/h1DoJQEhbW #shmup #indiedev #getreps #deluxe

Just a few minor tweaks based on all the feedback I received. Biggest change is stats how appearing on the inventory screen. Should save you some time and grinding. #pico8 #indiedev #horror
