Dear gamedevs!
I'm hosting an in-person #gamejam for the "Play Forward" festival (7.-10. of may 2026) in Germany!
I'd love to meet you there.
I'd kindly ask you to boost this if you feel like you know people who would enjoy this :)

There IS a great portal demake in TIC-80 though, it`s great!
Okay,that is a relief :D i thought wizardry was at play here ^^
This looks so mesmerizing - the shimmer of the big thing at the end really does look far fancier than what PICO-8 usually looks like
Damn, what do you have planned? That is a lot of baddies(?)
Really cool and unique style! Just had a look at all of your posts, thx for giving us a look behind the curtain :)
Sprite stacking is really neat, and this game looks amazing.
Really pretty! I like that name :)
369px made a great #Picotron Snake clone in the style of everybody's favorite phone - the 3310.
Go play it and try beating my score :P!

That is a great new feature! I accidentally played old versions of my own cart, so I really appreciate the little notification.
And your score seems unbeatable - but I will keep trying! Did you know there are more game modes in the hamburger menu? I really need to add a little tutorial thingy ^^
I wrote a little guide on the new scoresub system in #picotron to hopefully inspire more games to get highscores in!
It is a brilliant new feature, coming back to my games to see new names on the highscore board makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Thank you to all those who played them!

Three games by taxicomics are on sale for the Steam Spring Sale
It's finally spring!
That means my games are back in season! Buying them to #support the creation of more nonsense is a great activity for the whole family!

I've seen your icon and thought it was really adorable.
That is a crazy amount of opportunities, really impressive stuff. Thank you for your work!

Scoresub for #picotron is out!
Getting it to work with my MAKETEN clone "TenSum" was surprisingly easy. Really great design by Zep!
Can't wait to play around with scoresub some more to create all kinds of online-ish projects. Asynchronous multiplayer games, highscore hunts etc.

Great update! I'm really enjoying the scoresub workflow, implementing highscores for different gamemodes within the same game was surprisingly easy.
Can't wait to see everybody updating their old carts to include scoresub.
I think that is a great trait :) Here is a first draft. Their kid Yona is the one taking care of the chicken in the pen.
Thank you for your suggestions!
These are gorgeous! Especially the tree and animal pen look great.
Sounds like a potential partner/roommate for the player!
Thank you for your input, it's been fun! I'll get right to it and I'll post an update once it is in the game.
Is her wife involved with the business or does she oppose it? Is she doing her own thing? Or do they both want potential kids to continue the family business?
Sounds good, what is her story?
That is purrfect. I thought of cats as adoptable strays, but this beats that. I'll need all the farm animal puns I can get
Designing a whole world is a privilege, but I still need somebody to work at this animal shop. Does anybody have an idea for a character they'd like to see in this game?
Rosemary Peaks is supposed to be a place for everybody and I want it's inhabitants to reflect that

This looks very cute, and I love that the two of you can share that :)
Really cute style. I'm a huge fan of this style of walking animations :)
Right? I've seen great examples from the Picotron community. Somebody used them for a riddle to make invisible paths you could only see with a torch, which I found very cool.
Take 5 was the one (Dave Brubeck would be proud).
I finally recorded a version of the video that I am happy with.
Color tables in #picotron are incredibly powerful and useful - and surprisingly easy to use.
This video is my attempt at explaining them.

I tried creating a video about this topic and I will keep trying, but in the meantime enjoy this little write-up on color tables.

They are a great, cheap way to add effects to your #Picotron projects.

I find the difference in a resolution a bit too much. Maybe a few pixelart elements would help to tie them together
#Picotron is my game engine of choice and my favorite computer. I'd love for more people to try it, and I hope that creating little tutorials will lower the boundary.

For anybody interested in the Rosemary Peaks:
I wrote a blog post on my Ko-Fi (free) to bring order to the chaos that is gamedev. I might also try turning that into a video, but I've gotten a bit too self-conscious about my voice and accent lately.
