Hello bluesky ! I'm ghettobastler, and I make things out of electronics and code. Lately I've been making games with #pico8 and #love2d, which you can find on ghettobastler.itch.io. I also write about my projects on ghettobastler.com

I'm still not satisfied with the gameplay relying on reflexes this much. That wouldn't be an issue if there were levels or patterns to learn, but here the cars spawn randomly, with rules to keep it fair. I want a way to allow the player to improve that wouldn't just be "think faster". #gamedev

Thanks! I can't decide if it feels too mean to be able to hit the guests with their own bag, but it feels mechanically nice to throw.

Can someone on a Mac please tell me if the "Save As" dialogue supports:
1. typing an absolute path as the filename, like /home/lynn/foo.png
2. typing a relative path as the filename, like foo/bar.png
3. using ~ in the path, like ~/foo.png
4. using variables in the path, like $HOME/foo.png
Thanks!!

A smorgasbord of procedurally generated levels from my upcoming #pico8 #gamedev project.
They all lie somewhere on a spectrum ranging from fully generated to remixing authored content, but its essential that they're randomized on each attempt so that planning becomes as important as execution.

Bit more work on my #pico8 #gamedev project this evening, added some basic hit detection with some particles, as well as a game state which displays a message and loads in the next level.
It's a bit all over the place, but can be polished. I think I will work on lives and game overs next.

My fellow prisoners were moths. They danced frantically beneath the light, blinded by that dangerous urge to disregard the risks. Stupid bastards.

Hitting cars now directly increases the speed. This gives the player more control over the difficulty. I've also tried switching the score from distance to speed to give the player an incentive to go faster (thanks @voidgazerbon.bsky.social !)
