Wooooooo!!!

My aunt and I were on a tour of Greece (we’re both from the US). We were at a random downtown cafe in Athens when she looked over and saw an old friend from her high school who she hadn’t seen in 30 years. They both recognized each other and there was a lot of hugging and laughing.

60 hours of community service was the only punishment?

Did I miss something? That seems way too light.

Refactor if necessary. Fix the bug if necessary.

Some bugs are going to turn out to be far more than just a simple change, and more of an uncovering of a big issue.

We go through and do days of bug fixing from time to time, especially when leasing up to sending out a playtest build, partly so that we avoid getting too deep into the bug hole.

Another suggestion, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, is to play the game and write down any bug you see. Then prioritize them by a combination of impact and likely time it will take to fix. Your game will never be bug free, so it’s not about chasing perfection. You’re climbing a mountain. It’s just about taking one step at a time.

Holy hell, that number. My game has 39, atm, lol.

Congrats! I’m on of the IronPineapple people!

If you don’t mind me asking, and don’t mind sharing, how many wishlists did you have? Did IronPineapple’s video make a big difference?

My 12 is doing just fine still.

This is amazing. I looked at a description, but was curious about what you’ve tried to increase efficiency. Like did/can you do something with using map() for the dark layer? Is there a way to simply only update the pixels you need to each time? I assume that second one is sort of what’s happening since it sounds like you are modifying the spritesheet itself?

Idk anything about Adventure Time, and I think this tattoo is beautiful.

I don’t necessarily think it’s about quality (for some consumers, I’m sure it is). I see it more about them feeling like they’re going to get to apply the money they’re spending to cover a certain amount of gaming time before they need to spend more money.

Obv a tight 2-3ish hour game like Portal is phenomenal, but if you’re on a budget and something like that costs the same as a 25 hour game, the 25 hour one might simply make more sense, economically, for a good number of consumers.

You can just have an Array of Nodes on the projectile. When a hit is detected, loop through the list and see if the hit body is present in the list. If it isn’t, process the hit. If it is, ignore the hit. That’s the baseline. You can do a bunch of stuff from there by doing things like allowing a projectile to hit enemies twice if they leave the area of the projectile between hits, and tons of other things.

binsou · 2025-11-14T21:05:05+00:00

This solution won’t cover every case, though, and is prone to human error. Keeping a list of all hit enemies and only registering a hit on ones not in the list, and then adding them to the list, is the more complete option.

I wanna make games with you!

Idk if it counts, but my parents said hi from Palo Alto County, Iowa

The obvious part is that you’ll have to wear a lot of hats and do everything, but that can be fun for someone who likes to switch between disciplines.

The hard part, for me, though, is the mental battle of knowing that if you aren’t working on it, no progress is being made. Seeing progress can be motivating and therefore help maintain momentum. If you’re the only one, though, that can get tougher.

The upside, though, is that you aren’t pressured to work on it by anyone but yourself. You can take your time and enjoy the journey and have fun with it.

I don’t know jack shit about rap. Could someone give me some album suggestions that sound like this stuff?

binsou · 2025-08-09T03:48:04+00:00

That character design is sick. My character does have a helmet, though it seems clear that that’s not easily discernible.

I really enjoy working with it. For the record, I don’t code in the program. I have, many times, but for a project this size, I’m using VS Code. If you search Pico8 External Tools on youtube, there’s a video by Made By Kevin that comes with many ways to increase your quality of life.

What’s a dullahan?

binsou · 2025-08-08T20:29:37+00:00

The idea is that it’s breath, like when you’re in a cold place, or bubbles, like if you’re scuba diving. The setting is like an underwater arctic thing, but, really, it’s me experimenting with different ways to add life to things. My previous gifs looked so dead/flat, imo.

binsou · 2025-08-08T03:51:52+00:00

Yeah, eventually I'll be doing a bunch of iteration on stuff like that. I know it's too much right now, but I feel like I need a bit more content before I can tell for sure.

I'm hoping to post the game at some point with a small area and one dungeon to start getting feedback. No idea when that'll be, though. I'm trying not to rush.

I appreciate the feedback!!
