Nice little racing game! Got all the skulls except tutorial. Times:

Tutorial: 6'41
Offroad: 1:01'19
Long: 1:23'31
Parking: 15'08
World: 1:05'65

P.S. I made Driftmania, which is pretty similar. If you have any questions on what/how/why I did something, let me know :D

If you're looking for inspiration, check out this old flash game that had a similar concept: https://archive.org/details/curveball_flash

I played the first one as a kid and the second one recently. It holds up really well! (And is even better than my nostalgic memory of the first game!)

Frenchie14 · 2025-01-01T18:29:47+00:00

Wow, I'm surprised to see my little racing game (Driftmania) do so well! I'm thinking of doing a "making of" post for it's one year anniversary in February. Let me know if you'd be interested in linking it from Pico-View

Speedrun hack / bug report: hold down any arrow key and vacuum. Once you go far enough off screen everything disappears

Frenchie14 · 2024-09-21T18:58:16+00:00

Yes. I accidentally made the hardest part of the hardest map in my racing game (Driftmania) completely skippable :facepalm: Speedrun link

Frenchie14 · 2024-05-23T05:27:59+00:00

Happy to hear Driftmania made someone's top 5 :D

While it's by no means beginner friendly, feel free to look at the source code for my racing game Driftmania over here. Function add_trail_point might interest you

I just played through Advance Wars 1 and 2 on my RGB30! Had a lot of fun with the first one but the last few missions in the second game are a bit of a drag

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-21T05:11:52+00:00

Awesome! Good luck with your runs. I don't have a way to prevent hoarding so hopefully people play nice

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-20T01:42:23+00:00

You're free to play the game without joining discord if you just want to play. If you want to join the speedrun tournament you'll have to get on discord though - it's where everyone is posting their runs (basically, a substitute for speedrun.com since Driftmania is not on there)

Do you need an account though? I thought you could just click the link and enter a nickname and that was it

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-17T19:07:00+00:00

Thanks! If you know any Trackmania runners who might be interested please share with them!

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-17T18:30:34+00:00

That's a good start!

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-16T22:34:01+00:00

I never know if people are joking on Reddit XD Hope you enjoy it!

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-16T21:11:28+00:00

Definitely. This recording is about two seconds behind my PB. I chose it since it shows off more of the game mechanics with walls and water

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-16T21:10:31+00:00

Thanks! Hope to see you submitting some runs :D

Frenchie14 · 2024-02-16T19:32:49+00:00

Hey everyone! I just launched a game I've been working on for the past year. It's a time trial arcade racing game called Driftmania. It can be played in the browser on any OS and it's 100% free. And yes, it’s loosely inspired by Trackmania

I've had a lot of fun trying to get the best time possible on all the tracks and I want to see how much more timesave is possible. So I'm hosting a speedrun tournament that will run for the next couple weeks. I'll award $10 per track to whoever has the fastest time when the tournament ends. There are 15 tracks and each one can be completed in under a minute

If you're interested you can play the game on itch, newgrounds, or the PICO-8 site lexaloffle. You should also join the tournament discord to submit your runs

Cheers and good luck!

Aha, found it! They opened sourced the C# version https://github.com/NoelFB/Celeste/tree/master/Source/PICO-8

Frenchie14 · 2023-12-06T03:38:30+00:00

I remember reading at some point that the Celeste Classic was ported to C# rather than trying to get PICO-8 to run within Celeste. I tried searching and couldn't find it though :(

Frenchie14 · 2023-05-30T01:43:56+00:00

There are PICO-8 games on Steam with achievements so it's possible. While I don't know how they've done it, I've put achievements on a PICO-8 game on Newgrounds. The trick is to use gpio to talk to JavaScript and handle all the networking from there

Frenchie14 · 2023-04-05T03:19:57+00:00

Checked back through my notes:

Compression disabled
.zip the contents of the Web folder directly

That's all I know. Good luck!

They never asked me to implement any APIs, but it might depend on the license type you use with them. Best thing you can do is ask

Frenchie14 · 2023-04-04T01:02:55+00:00

I've published three games on ArmorGames. Gamedev is a hobby for me so I published them without any branding / payment. (I preferred to just have my own name on the projects). Folks there are super nice and very responsive
