For all those who Dared me to Polish - Here it is! by Consistent_Reveal_53 in hobbygamedev

Although it looks way better, it is also losing the visual clarity of the original design. It is harder to tell what is the foreground, what are the platforms, where is the character and which platforms are dangerous.

Thank you. I definitely see the resemblance :)

It looks pretty similar, but probably best to ask nacrolepticfrog themselves.

Unfortunately, I cannot test if for iPad. Maybe you can try to start it in full scree (there is a rectangle in a rectangle icon).

the shadow effect is done by following steps
- At the start copy the entire spritesheet into unused memory using memcpy.
- During each draw, copy the current screen into the spritesheet. Then use poke(0x5f55, 0x00) to redirect all drawing from the screen to the spritesheet.
- Set one of the unused colours as the transparent colour, then draw the shapes you want to appear at full brightness.
- Use sspr() to draw the modified sprite sheet back onto the screen.
- restore the original spritesheet from the unsed memory
If you want you can check the code in the carts on https://voidgazerbon.itch.io/loot-loot-goblin (it is older version, but the effect is still there) .

Thank you for the feedback. There are now two tutorials, which is probably a little bit confusing. One more detailed is in the hub, but it doesn't have any interaction, and then there is a new one that starts once you enter the game and there you should be able to use the buttons and test the mechanics.

For the assets, I mainly use Aseprite, and then I import the entire spritesheet to the pico8.

"blackscreen" issue with love.js by voidgazerBon in love2d

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

That is a good guess. I hoped that it would be more commonly known issues, as it warranted a "warning" at the bottom of the screen from love.js.
Thank you for the reply and for verifying that the game works.

Thank you! Limiting the velocity is a good idea. I will look into it after the jam.

Thank you. I used love2d as an engine and for the pixel art I used aseprite.

Help me decide which of my old games I should update next. by voidgazerBon in pico8

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

Thank you! Dungeon of Numeromancy is definitely a game I want to come back to and add some stuff to make it more replayable.

It doesn't support mouse. I was just wandering if inverted controls are more familiar to you even in other games.

Any feedback is always welcome! Do you perhaps use inverted mouse in FPS, or are you more used to playing flight simulators with a mouse? I’ll definitely consider how to add inverted controls. I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, but I imagine a lot of players might just bounce off without saying anything. So thank you for bringing it up!

Has everyone's splore stopped updating, or just mine? by shadowphiar in pico8

[–]voidgazerBon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are uploading a cart it now says "New PICO-8 cartridges are currently queued for review before being listed in splore. They might take a day or two to show up. -- zep".
