"The Thief's Journal"
My fellow prisoners were moths. They danced frantically beneath the light, blinded by that dangerous urge to disregard the risks. Stupid bastards.

"Pattern Recognition"

She’s at the screen and won’t let it go.
"We have to split, kid. Now!"
"Almost got it. It’s not random."
"They'll lock down the zone any moment."
"But I can see the pattern."
"THIS ZONE IS OFF LIMITS!"

Thanks. For now you can't as it is still in development. But only 1 area remains

thanks

this is pico8 fantasy console, with 16 colors, 128x128 res and limited cpu cycles. game is fully playable in browser on itchio page or, if you feel hacky you can grab and paste the source code into educational version of pico8.

yes

Caverns of the Souleater by rostok was the path you took the right one?

Caverns of the Souleater is my entry for Pico1k 2025 game jam itch.io/jam/pico-1k-... Play here rostok.itch.io/souleater 2/2

"Caverns of the Souleater"
Father told you these caverns hold a great treasure. But all you've found are endless tunnels and venomous snakes. As your torch burns low, you wonder if the gold was ever real. And why he didn't share this with your brother?!

what the hell is going on at itch.io? every time i go there it seems down. starting to worry about #pico1k jam

Central Station (1998) Walter Salles
#loop #gif #movies

i just found out that 'do' acts like 'then' in #pico8
that might get you some extra bytes in #tweetcart's/#postcart's or in #pico1k jam

yes, as much as i loved and got addicted to 868 and Cinco, i never really got far in Zaga

Grandpa didn't say. Probably waited for the bots to run out of energy.

"Dark Ages"
The first couple of nights after they cut the power were just scary. Then the looting and burning began. Streets in flames. And that smell. You didn’t have to die to go to hell.

sometimes, instead of moving forward with Schifahren's story, I procrastinate and work on things like camels and cell towers

[Tokyo] #picotachi is back on Friday (June 6th) with vol.74 at @picopicocafe.bsky.social!

Starts 7pm / talks from 8pm / free entry / cafe is open from 5pm. DM me if you'd like to show something you're working on or thinking about. More info: www.picopicocafe.com/index_en.htm...

switch 2 anti-piracy screen leaked

uhm, not quite. i use pico8 API and color palette but underneath is love2d with uncapped cpu and higher resolution.

to frustrate players even more, some NPCs in "Schifahren" will call hero names that will stick on the HUD #schifahren game #picolove #pico8 #love2d #gamedev #screenshotsunday

"Schifahren" will feature more than just the Alps #schifahren game #picolove #pico8 #love2d #gamedev #screenshotsunday
