I wrote a (long) post-mortem of this project : here
This is a small "demake" of Alone in the Dark. You can explore and find your way out of the top two floor of the mansion. I tried to keep it close to the original, but there is no fight (if you see an enemy you will die) and the interaction system is simpler. The 3D meshes of the characters are ripped from the original game.
I used a plugin I made to export meshes from Blender with color per triangle and I modified a mesh stripping sample from coder corner to load, strip and convert meshes to character strings. You can find my version (to use with Visual 6) here.


this is friggin AMAZING
i just have to delete all my projects now. im flabbergasted by this lol


wowwww
this is super impressive
this game scared me so much when i was younger
still does
but i managed to escape the mansion
finally
after all these years
that's the power of pico-8
well done, nusan :)
p.s.
nice music


@zep I'm glad I finaly put the effort to make the two characters fit in the same cart. It's much better like that. I was also struggling to make everything fit in ram when using 0.1.6 but 0.1.8 saved me by doubling the ram capacity. I was forced to destroy and recreate only what was needed for each screen. Now I still need to do that, but it's much easier.


Any chance of some kind of post-mortem on this? Would be great to find out how you've managed it and how it renders! Really nice!


Ok, I finished my post-mortem of Alone in Pico. If you have any questions or advices, you can post theme here :https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3804
