This is the first game I made with PICO-8.
I used a lot of similar games as reference.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm starting my first game, a simple exploration game with some basic NPC dialogue, and lock and key puzzles. I've spent a couple of hours in the editor, and I'm comfortable with modelling and simple animation now, but I can't figure out how scripting works, so I'm struggling to get an idea of what you can or can't tweak.

For now I'm happy making levels, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could just let know if the following things are possible, so I can uh, adjust my vision accordingly...

• Disabling weapons, or editing the starting weapon into some kind of short range "interact with" function
• Converting the HUD into a dialogue box for that "interact with" function
• Having a "lost" NPC follow you after initiating dialogue (hitting them or bumping into them)

That's it really. I know the implementation of this stuff might change for the easier any day now with 3.5 being just around the corner, but I'd like to make this as part of a Christmas present, so I can't really put it off any longer. So, yeah, any advice would be gratefully received!

I don't have a problem with there being a running, searchable list of featured carts, as was added in the new BBS update. However, it is problematic that adding that seems to have removed the option to sort through all carts by the number of stars they've been given. It would be appreciated if we got that feature back in addition to the new one.

Just a work in progress. The parser is not perfect but it needs a lot of work.

The fullscreen button on the mobile web interface seems to have broken all of a sudden. Instead of displaying the screen, the fullscreen icon itself is displayed really big, stretched to fill the screen XD it's actually pretty funny.

(it's actually a pretty critical issue though because the mobile controls are super buggy and unreliable unless you're in fullscreen mode)

This code does not work (unexpected symbol near 'then'):
if (x == "\\") then print(x) end

But this works OK:
bs = "\\" if (x == bs) then print(x) end

A silly side scroller made for the ludum dare 43 "sacrifices must be made" game jam.

I want to learn how to start making games and this program seems like a nice way to start learning.
But does it have Isometric capabilities? Like 2.5d?

Following on from the 'some carts kill the browser tab' thread, those carts are no longer hanging for me, but there's still something funky going on in some of them compared to the desktop version.

It's most noticeable with https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=16351:

edit: background differences are more obvious at full res, sorry for the poor vertical alignment.

Does the Windows installer for PICO-8 include both 32 bit and 64 bit releases? Just bought the Voxatron bundle and am wondering if I’m all good on this.

This is a short horror game that I developed for DarkTober Game Jam 2018 using the Pico-8 fantasy console. This game is not suited for children or those who are easily disturbed.

Controls:

• Directional keys: move around

• Z: read stone tablets, talk to npc's

Objective:

The objective of this game is to find the old mirror, locate the dark path and get the orbs of light. This will require navigating 3 different worlds of increasing tension and horror.

Tips:

• Enemies will spawn in the dark world. The more orbs of light you collect, the more enemies will try to drag you to a shadowy grave, trapping you within the darkness of the mirror forever.

The BBS fails silently when I attempt to attach an image whose filename contains spaces. The upload appears to be successful, but it doesn't appear in the list of available images.

I remember this bug from the previous version of the BBS, so it's not new.

It appears that I have to sign in to the BBS on a daily basis. This does not appear to be intentional, and it's certainly annoying. I believe in the previous version of the BBS we had a one month sign-in expiration.

My cookies seem to be in reasonable shape for expiration dates:

www.lexaloffle.com:
PHPSESSID: when browsing session ends
pass: one month
user: one month

lexaloffle.com without the www also sets a cookie, __cfduid, but this doesn't seem related. I have tried clearing and recreating all of these cookies, with no change of behavior.

When playing a game in the web player, if I hold the z key ("o" button), I get the macOS diacritic editor. This interrupts play. I don't recall seeing this prior to the BBS/player update.

Ludum Dare 43 Game Jam submission!
A short RTS-style game made in PICO-8, where your goal is to make robots to defeat a big alien monster.

The catch? You have to kill small, cute robots to do it!

Tips: -You need to make a total of 6 Big Robots to win. -Sometimes, robots will stop moving while gathering resources. If this happens, you’ll have to kill them. (I’d like to pretend this is a feature but it’s just a glitch i didnt have time to fix, oops)

HOW TO PLAY:

Open the menu and navigate to robots to select them. After selecting them, hit “send” to send them to go gather resources. Eventually they will return but unable to work any more.
