Unnecessary, fun systems.
Graphics are stored not as an array of pixel colours, but pixel indices to a "skin" graphic. Allows just this skin to be updated and all animations reflect the new colours. Also left/right asymmetry can be kept no matter flip direction! #indiedev #gamedev #picotron #pico8

This week in untitled stealth ninja platformer. Improvements to light/shadow, some camera work and player animations. Next I guess some kind of gameplay maybe? Games have that right?

Slowly progressing on a stealth platformer. Recently added foundation for lights and player field of view.

Playing with #picotron colour tables.

Next game a light and shadow based 2D ninja stealth platformer along the same vein as Mark of the Ninja?

My newly released free game Samurise looks great on the #powkiddy #rgb30 !

Of course it also works great on desktop or mobile direct from the browser over at @itch.io

A fairly punishing platformer/runner.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Finishing/releasing stuff is hard even when it's tiny like this so I'm proud of it despite its flaws!

Love the sound of #pico8 tunes.
Always end up leaving music until the last minute! #chiptune

Cool #pico8 feature used in my game. The screen can be split vertically into two separate palettes. I use this feature to give different levels completely different feel/colours.
Here you can see a good example when I was working on it of the same level split into two palettes. #gamedev #indiedev

Gameplay from my almost ready to release #pico8 game Samurise! #indiedev
