I'm back to looking ay my heightmap rendering in #pico8. This is a rewrite from scratch of the old version, cleaning up a lot of tech debt and old poor decisions. Very happy with it so far.

[Johan Peitz - picoCAD 2 is out! @johanpeitz]

Still in awe of this crossover picoCAD and Hellgineers scene!

I've lost count of how many times I've written a player + camera controller & animation system in #pico8 , but this one is feeling good.

This is for the #LOWREZJAM, which is really pushing my #pixelart abilities, but i'm happy with this how this character is looking.

I've created a breakdown of my tweettweet jam entry, where i created a mini flight simulator in 500 bytes of #pico8 code. For anyone interested in how it went together, take a look:

@its_luchak @pico8tweets This is awesome, nicely done.

[Nic @D_Nocker]

@Achie7240 @pico8tweets I haven't looked at this project in a little while, but I was more thinking of modifiers to the spells, rather than chains. ie; Add a modifier which gives a bigger effect, or longer duration, or similar.

[Nic @D_Nocker]

I've just put out the first demo for my spellcrafting system in my new pico8 project, playable here:

Controls are in the forum post. It's more of a sandbox at the moment, but enemies and other challenges will come soon.

@NjjPublishing I didn't know that was allowed! Good to know, though the constraint i'm pushing against is character count, rather than tokens.

[Nic @D_Nocker]

I've managed to maintain the majority of the visual clarity while bringing my #tweettweetjam entry down to 500 characters of code, though it was a struggle. Play it here: https://t.co/fQMFnIR7u4

I'll do a write-up + decompression of the code soon!

I had an idea a while ago for a #pico8 gliding game using #mode7 for the ground and clouds, and thought i'd try see if I can make it work in 500 characters for the #tweettweetjam. Currently at 645 chars and looking at what features can be cut.

@badjano I actually have before! It's a really fun renderer to work with, though i haven't turned it into an actual game yet. https://t.co/mVR3AkQVqy

@miztlur Yep!, though the line calls in the plane are character-intensive

[Nic @D_Nocker]

@Liquidream Thank you! It's going to be a struggle 😅

[Nic @D_Nocker]

@platformalist Oh no 😅

[Nic @D_Nocker]

@Achie7240 Hey absolutely! I'd love to see that

[Nic @D_Nocker]

A board game on a single card, rules included!

I've finally gotten this game to a point i'm happy with, after many, many iterations on the gameplay, the rules, and the layout.

#boardgame #gamedesign #tabletopgames

[Nic @D_Nocker]

I've created a demo of a single round of play as well to hopefully clear up any rules confusion. (Which is where the QR on the card takes you)
