I just picked up the Voxatron + PICO-8 bundle a few days ago.</p> <p>After a few hurdles and temper tantrums, I accepted my current limitations and finally have the early makings of a tangible game! Basically only the title screen functions.</p> <p>It's called Listra's Folly for now. It'll be an adventure puzzle game similar to Chip's Challenge or Toad's Treasure Tracker. It's not going to be the full vision I had for this game (at least not in the near future) because I'm not yet one of those procedural-generating geniuses, so the limitations are currently quite limiting for me. I'm aware that PICO-8 basically lets users rewrite the entire map and/or sprite sheet on the fly, but I'll worry about that later.</p> <p>I'm not sure how this BBS thing works, except that you can't post those cheeky super-carts that load data from more than one cart. I don't really mind if my code or sprites are visible from this embed, but peeking at the sprites might be spoilers because I've drawn A LOT more things than I've implemented. Also you'll laugh at my cruddy sprite work.</p> <p>If you DO look at the code, well, it might seem a bit overblown for what content is currently here, but hopefully it'll pay off later because I fooled Lua into thinking it had classes.</p> <p>Neat things to do:</p> <ul> <li>Down + A to toggle collision visibility</li> <li>Walk off of the level</li> <li>Walk off of the title screen</li> <li>Pause, RESTART LEVEL (not available on title screen)</li> </ul> <p>There aren't any other actors yet, but when I add them, they SHOULD freeze when Listra dies by any means. Maybe. We'll see what happens.</p> <p>My biggest complaint about PICO-8 right now is how lousy the music editor is... but since PICO-8 games can write to cart data, maybe somebody's made a better music editor for it. If not, I'll have to put one together later.</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=36583 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=36583 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 12:03:23 UTC
