Game hobbyist and creator in spare times
i am from generation X, born in 1972 and i saw video games begins. That's why my Pico-8 games looks like 70s and 80s arcade games esthetic. Old school games still looks good.
Mainly inspired by Midway's Eugene Jarvis's flash color text style. Almost Namco/Nintendo arcade display style. Some example of what kind of game I like to do. I don't copy modern game's style. I stay in my time!
This is my snippet with PRINT functions that mimic Apple II text artefacts.
function _init()
sfx(0)
end
function _draw()
cls()
nprint("normal",1,0)
iprint("inverse",1,2)
fprint("flash",1,4)
hprint("hirez artefact",1,6)
hiprint("hirez artefact inverse",1,8)
nprint([[
nprint
iprint
fprint
hprint
hiprint

end
-- apple ii prints
function iprint(_str,_x,_y)
l=#_str*4-1
rectfill(_x*4,_y*6,_x*4+l,_y*6+5,7)
print(_str,_x*4,_y*6,0)
end
function fprint(_str,_x,_y)
l=#_str*4-1
print(_str,_x*4,_y*6,7)
if (time()%.5>.2) then
rectfill(_x*4,_y*6,_x*4+l,_y*6+5,7)
print(_str,_x*4,_y*6,0)
end
end
function nprint(_str,_x,_y)
print(_str,_x*4,_y*6,7)
end
function hprint(str,_x,_y)
_x*=4
_y*=6
print(str,_x,_y,3)
print(str,_x+2,_y,2)
print(str,_x+1,_y,7)
end
function hiprint(str,_x,_y)
_x*=4
_y*=6
rectfill(_x,_y,_x+#str*4,_y+5,7)
print(str,_x,_y,3)
print(str,_x+2,_y,2)
print(str,_x+1,_y,0)
end
