ElflingsGame Boy fans: Can the D-Pad easily do 8-directional movement? I feel like I used one a while ago that allowed you to press two arrow keys at once to get diagonal moves.There is surprisingly contradictory info online. I'm trying to do a quick game for the Game Boy Jam -- https://itch.io/jam/gbjam-12 -- with new art per the rules (so tiny! so few colors!). I don't want to implement something that disqualifies the game. #ihavemyreasons #lowrez #GBJam #gamedev #pixels #retrocomputing
The Sailor Dev
Self-portrait using the retro 8-bit pixel art style of the upcoming video game Elflings. The game developer is depicted as an old human wizard carrying a magic staff. Or at least we assume it's magical. Maybe he's just crazy and waving a stick around. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #roguelike #8bit #lowrez #retro #OSR #RPG #phenomenalcosmicpowerittybittylivingspace
Haven't been able to work on my PICO-8 game due to my wife having an operation. But all is well and hopefully I can get back into it.
Here's a rework of my LowresNX game though. Toying with the idea of making a remake in LOVE2D...
Currently experimenting with the procedural generation in the game Elfiings. For man-made objects, like the small house or tomb walls, the game adheres to more symmetrical designs. Obstacles like trees and water are placed more organically. Each discrete area also has something of interest. Of course, being a retro Roguelike game means it is very often combat or occasionally a shop.
Play the latest release of my game, Elusive Bigfoot! First 4 puzzles available now to play on mobile, web, and retro gaming handhelds through PICO-8.
