What is this game ?

This game was created for the Vim Game Jam (November 8th 2024 to November 18th 2024). The Jam Focus was “Racing”. The game was not forced to be a racing game, so I wanted to do something inspired by MINIT. The optional theme was "Escape", I used it for the story. The three diversifiers where : "Four Color Palette", "Animal Characters" and "Mouse only". I did use the two first ones, but I left the mouse only rule out. I used Pico8, because I'm obsessed with this engine.

I decided to do the jam when it was first announced, but I only started working on it on Thursday (November 14th). I only worked on it a few hours, but I worked a lot more on it on Friday. I was elsewhere on Saturday, so there was no work that day. I worked a little bit on Sunday. I just created the Itch.io page and wrote a good chunk of dialog. I thought so many times that I did not have enough time. But I pushed through ! And I did it. I'm satisfied.

For the creation itself, I knew what type of game I wanted to do. I was envisioning a MINIT kind of game, with mostly story, a little puzzle, and a timer. I created a small map, every assets... But at this point, I had no story, only a time loop. I started writing (time was running) and the story kind of wrote itself. I was so rushed, I just wrote the first things in my mind haha. I struggle to keep my code clean. I mean, my code is always awful, but I try to keep things in order. In the end, I just wrote code, whatever it fit. My game is small, so it's fine, but I used a lot more tokens than probably needed.

Big Cat Big Chaos

[Click to Play]

How to play ?

Use your mouse and left click to drag the "space things" around ! Your goal is to destroy all of them by dropping them in the black hole.

What is this game ?

This game was created for the Lame Game Jam (September 20th 2024 to September 23rd 2024). The theme was “Chaos”. I wanted to do something with cats, creatures of pure chaos, so I thought maybe a space cat could be interesting. My boyfriend gave my the gameplay idea. It only took a couple of hours. I used Pico8, my default engine, but I used for the first time the mouse. That's why it's not perfect, but it's fine.

Charactron, a little character maker

charactron

[Click to Play]

What is this tool?

This project was done for Picotron Game Jam (March 17th 2024 to April 20th 2024).
(Link to the game jam)

My plan was to do a character maker, something similar to what you can find on Picrew but for Picotron.

What can I do with this?

Everyone can use this avatar maker to make their own characters for any of their game projects (RPG or visual novel I guess?), mostly for Picotron. You can change the sprite, edit the character... The only constraint is to give a link or at least name this tool somewhere.

My ultimate goal is that people can reuse the cart and change the sprite sheet to create their own character maker. Currently, everything is a mess, so it's not really easy to change things with this tool. But I will try to make it as easy as possible in the future!

What's next?

I want to add some things that I did not have time for during the jam. Here is a list :

More sprites
Adaptable sprites (Right now, if you select certain ears or body type, you have white spots or akward spacing. I want to prevent this from happening.)
Code easier to read and more efficient
Export as a Picotron sprite (I have currently no clue about how to do it... If you know, tell me!)
Save slots in the cart (I also have no clue, please explain if you know!)

DEVLOG

This game jam was enjoyable, even though I discovered how bad of a dev I am. Picotron is quite new, there is almost no documentation... So it was a struggle for me. I thought doing a doll maker was an easy project. It was not. Thanks to really kind people on Picotron's Discord, I finished everything I wanted to implement before the end of the jam. I had a rough time managing my time too, between my work, my family and my friends... But I'm so happy to have almost finished this tool. If you want to help me improve the code, let me know. I would love to have some help haha.

nanpa kule, "color code"

This is a little tool I created for displaying all 32 colors with their corresponding color code.
I know a lot of people already did thoses kind of tool, but I wanted to do mine !

Please do not look to close in the code, it's bad, I'm not good with Picotron yet...

What is this game ?

ENG: This game was created for a contest. The theme was “Create a mini-game about audiovisual creations”. Because I did not want to create a game with a camera flying around and shooting lasers, I chose to do a Schmup (Shooting game) based on Captain Harlock (called Albator in French). I tried to be as close to the original design as possible with the Pico8 limitations.
This project was fun to make. It was not easy, for sure, but I think I managed to do something great. I hope you will like it!

FR: Ce jeu a été créé pour un concours de création de jeux vidéo. Le thème était : « Créer un mini-jeu autour de l’audiovisuel ». Comme je ne voulais pas faire un jeu avec une caméra qui vole en tirant des lasers, j’ai préféré faire un jeu sur Albator (Captain Harlock est le nom original, en japonais). J’ai essayé de respecter les designs originaux au mieux, avec les limitations Pico8.
Le projet a été vraiment fun à réaliser. Ce n’a pas été facile, c’est sûr, mais je pense avoir réussi à faire quelque chose de bien. J’espère que vous allez l’apprécier !
