Fillp Transparency?

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 01:47:27 UTC

I'm trying to cast a shadow over a distorted sprite by setting a fill pattern with transparency andd then rectfilling over the sprite. But I can't seem to get the pico-8 fill pattern transparency bit to work. Does anyone know how to get this effect working in picotron? For reference, the introduction to https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/Fillp describes it at the end - adding 0x0.8 to a fill pattern will enable the "on" bits to be transparent.

i missed how easy it was to tell what a color's numerical code was, so i made a picotron cart to list them out :) it doesn't do anything cool like copying them when you click on them, or reordering them to put like colors together... but it's better than counting by hand!

i made my first game for release! it's a bite-size fangame for the atelier franchise, about being a young alchemist in a town down on its luck. can you bring back the fireworks festival that used to light up the skies?

it's extremely short for an rpg (15 minutes total). i made a dialog-heavy crafting RPG in pico-8 because i fear neither god nor man. a major goal i had was to make something that felt like a Real Finished Game, rather than an isolated tech demo or something. so it's got a beginning, middle, and end, and talk sprites, and ui animations, and so on. i'm ridiculously proud of this - i've never made a game as finished as this before. please play and enjoy! and tell me what you think!

i had to use shrinko8 in order to cram it all into the limits, i was really up against them. maybe atelier phoebe 2 will be a multicart... switch to cartridge 2 for act 2!
