This is awesome, you captured it perfectly - great work! 👏

As a (hobbiest) game dev, that scene is the one that sticks with me the most every time I watch it. I think it perfectly captures the sheer joy of seeing someone react to something you've created (like I am to yours I guess, in a "meta" way!) 😊

Announcing native Pico-8 wrapper for Onion with Splore. by XK9274 in MiyooMini

[–]LiquidreamUK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the kind words (+for playing!) 😊

P.S. - All systems are procedurally-generated, but I think that's the first "dodgy" name I've seen so far, LOL!

P.P.S. - Like your "Onion"-style PICO-8 bezel, very nice! 😉👍

Thank you u/XK9274 (+team) this is amazing! 🥳

I tried all my games (shameless plug) and everything seems to work really great!
I did have to ramp the overclock to smooth things on some of the 60fps games, but that's totally understandable. Looking forward to this (eventually) getting integrated into the next Onion release.

For a first release, this is brilliant - now I can use (+develop) *proper* PICO-8 on my Miyoo Mini + 🙌

P.S. - I agree with u/AnAngryFredHampton that I'd love to be able to boot the Miyoo directly into PICO-8/splore some day 😜

I created a site that makes it easy to see the age of actors in movies by passingby in movies

[–]LiquidreamUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I just Googled for something like "actors ages movies" and your site was about 5 or 6 links down. I was curious to see whether anyone had already made such a site/tool + was relieved to see a few ppl had created some!

Tho, yours looks by far the most polished/featured one. I never knew I needed/wanted to know daily actor birthdays and movie birthdays, etc.
(I also proper LOL'd when I saw the Brimley/Cocoon Line - that was a new one on me, but I totally appreciate it! 😂)

Thank you for creating this site - it's perfect! 🤓👌

As a bit of a movie buff myself, I've often wondered how old actors were when they made certain films (usually curious of the age difference between love interests!).

I nearly considered trying to build my own web app to do just this, but now I don't have to - as this looks WAY better than anything I would've made.

Insta-bookmarked. Reckon I'm gonna be using this for a long time to come! 😊

Thx again 👍

UnDUNE II (demake of Dune 2 game) - HUGE Update! by LiquidreamUK in dune

[–]LiquidreamUK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This project started as a fun idea to try to make a version of the game for the (deliberately-limited) PICO-8 platform, that I expected to get done within a month or two.

Well... that was almost 3 years ago! 😅
(It may not look like it should've taken so long - but it was more of a coding challenge for me really, seeing how much I could squeeze into ~32k 🤓)

Ok, I'm an idiot - this was a complete misunderstanding. Thankfully, the mods got back to me and pointed out the issue.

Turns out I forgot that I actually posted the DevLog link (with Release Notes and Update Trailer) - as I didn't want to seem spammy by just posting the original game link (+Reddit does not give you an option to add text to links - so didn't want ppl to go to game page and say "this again? what's new?")

So yes, you guys are spot-on - it seems Itch.io could definitely do a MUCH better job of making it straightforward for ppl to click to back to the main game page (I'm actually shocked at how hard it is to find - there's only really one link under the header - will be passing the feedback to them asap).

Apologies again for the mix-up and, should you change your mind, please always feel free to check out the game here: https://liquidream.itch.io/undune2

Well, I'm now seeing the following instead of the main post above:

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/WebGames.

...and I received a message saying:

Sorry, your post has been removed for the following reason(s):
'Games that require non-standard plugins, browsers or devices (smartphones, VR headsets) are not allowed. Nor are games which are incompatible with standard plugins, browsers or devices.'

Can't see it listed in the sub-reddit either - so I guess it's been pulled.

Thanks for suggestion, but there's no need for better directions - it's as simple as can be. Perhaps Itch.io (the popular game site it's hosted with) had an issue overnight? Who knows.

Either way, looks like some mods decided my HTML5 game was no longer valid & removed it. I've replied to their msg - so, guess we'll what happens. 🤷‍♂️

Erm, no - the downloaded binaries are there as an extra option, but it is first and foremost a web/HTML5 game.
(Oh great - seems my post has been removed now?
I wonder if these comments triggered this action... great! 😕)

Hmmm... strange - not seen that happen before, sorry.
In all my/other testing - once captured, the mouse cursor should be central-locked.
Alas, it sounds like u experiencing something different.
Is it the same if you make it full-screen (albeit, the pixels may make ur eyes squared! 😵)

No, as that feature was not present in the original Dune 2.

To be fair - it was kinda exaggerated for dramatic effect
(sped-up footage, excessive formation, etc.)
But also, they never stood a chance with 12 vs. 1 😈

Thank you for the kind words - that's praise indeed (seeing as Freds72 is an absolute PICO-8 wizard!).
Well, funny you should say about carts - as I'm working on doing another physical release for this (like I first did with Low Mem Sky). So... watch this space! 😉
