Welcome! Check out our progress in a 4-day gamejam
Hi, we're one game art student and one programming student trying to make the most awesome top-down, rogue-like in just 4 days. Please consider giving us critique as we're still learning!
The task...
is to create a game in PICO-8 with only one screen using a theme generated by this boi.
We got this:

Let's go.
Day 1
To-Do:
• Find out, what kind of game we want [✔]
• Think about MVP [✔]
• Create main mechanics [✔]

After some time of thinking we decided that our protagonist is supposed to be a painter fighting other art forms (music, theatre, sculpting).
Day 2 & 3
To-Do:
Code main gameplay ...[✔]
• running
• attack
• dash
• ability to kill enemys
• heart & shield pickup
• win & lose condition
• add randomly generated particles to attack
• enemy AI
• wave-system
• combat system (breakout character sprite)
Draw character sprites... [✔]
• main character movement
• main character dash
• enemy movement
• weapon sprites
• background sprites
+ Testing [✔]
• collision problems
• balancing problems

Day 4
To-Do:
create music & sfx ...[✔]
implement missing background sprites & sounds[✔]
present[✔]
DONE!!

...Additional words for those who are interested...
Luckily we had little to no issues while creating this game (except some for aesthetic stuff regarding the particles spawning when attacking), as we both were highly motivated and energetic. Talking now, almost a month later we think we could've done better but all in all we're relatively confident about having made a fun game.
We hope y'all enjoy this little piece of work.
Play the Game!

2020 Update : Hello there.
After looking at people making stuff with subpixel lines, I challenged myself to improve that old favorite cart of mine to replace most of its drawing with those sleek lines.
I threw away a lot of things, namely the "math library" I used to have. Turns out that most of the CPU was caused by this and a less optimal management of variables and memory. Cutting down the useless code and the slower practices, I could shave off 10k chars, ~45% of CPU and leave enough CPU time to let the front lines be drawn with subpixel rendering and still take less CPU than the original version. Wow.
Leaving the old version and the old post here. See ya soon!




Well, it's that time of the year again!

Hi, there, everyone!
It's been years since I posted anything here, but I just wanted to share something with you.
I've found a game on steam that is also inspired on Robotron and voxel-based terrain and it immediatly reminded me of Voxatron!:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/404540/Nex_Machina/
It looks cool, and I though about sharing it with you and ask your opinion on it. It could even provide some ideas for projects of yours.
If posting about other games is against the rules or something (haven't been following this forum at all), feel free to delete this post on the spot! No offense taken, and my apologies :)
Kudos to you, and good luck!

Parking Masters is a game I made over a weekend for a friend's birthday. Said friend is fond of driving and once took a photo of his car parked very close to another which has become a running gag (many ridiculous photoshops).
I have turned the photo into a little arcade game/"very serious" simulation of parking in a manual car. I thought it would be a fun thing to do, turn a photo into some sprites for a PICO-8 game. Pleased with the results - photo-realistic action!
Controls
Up - gas pedal
Left and right - shift gear
X - Clutch
C - Brake
Park as quickly as you can, as close as you can! Try and avoid stalling and also from shunting the other car!
