If you get stuck, you can reference the manual!

Gameplay

The game is centered around the concept of crafting spells by stacking different pages of a spellbook.

You're outfitted with a few basic pages, but you get access to more as you fight enemies and sail the sea! There are a bunch of different spells that are the result of many types of combination, so experiment away to see if you can get more power of more utility out of every little spell.
Every island there is adventure waiting! Will you get a new spellbook page? Craft a new combination of scrolls? Solve a magic puzzle? Perhaps a talk with a stranger? Who knows!

Her story

The game takes place through the character of Clarice Clairvoyage, a young mage in training who is the only one left after a small crisis hits her home island and all of her friends and family are abducted, never to be seen again. In her bravery, Clarice collects what's left of her home and chargers with a ship she found across the seas where she might find her family and friends again!

The tech

All of the pixel and music assets are self-made, so is the code. All of the code is written in PICO8 itself and all of the PICO8'ing is done on a Raspberry Pi 400! I wanted this project to feel like a kid exploring a C64 or getting one of those BBC computers for Christmas. I was born in 1998, so I missed out on those things :)

Please let me know what you think, I'd love to hear your feedback & thoughts!

Hey everyone! I'm making Clarice Clairvoyage over at a WIP thread, but wanted to share a part of my upcoming devlog separately as an animated cart/snippet!

It goes over the steps to make a procedural island, if you want to use the code, free free to do so!
Would appreciate the attribution!

There's a lot of ways that you can make it your own, try to edit which circles you want do draw more on besides the first one. Maybe do another layer on top of the trees for some more texture? Add a mountain or vulcano? Maybe a little town!

It's up to you!

If you can and want to learn more about me or the project I'm working on: Check out Clarice Clairvoyage!

Thanks! - Bram

Please share this game with your friends if you like it or if it made you laugh!

Hey there! Here's another game that I made in the span of 48h. It's a game based on the legendary meme about Ronald Reagan killing all birds and replacing them with spies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uaCG2lvE9w). Not to be taken seriously, ofcourse, but honestly, have you seen a bird baby lately?

In the game you play Bob, a recent government drone (pigeon) who decided to do whatever he pleases. He now just exclusively eats fries and shits on cars. Use X to propel yourself up by shitting, making sure to hit the cars below! Beat your highscore, and tweet it at me or leave it in the comments on this page so we can see who's the best!

If you really like it, let me know on Twitter ( @bram_dingelstad) and give me a follow!
