I always appreciated the maps of tiny clockwork worlds you'd find in game magazines. Here's a map of IT 2: They/Them, the game I made for this year's PiCoSteveMo.

If you were one of the players who asked for an in-game map to help you navigate, feel free to print this out and refer to it.

In case you missed it, in November I made "IT 2: They/Them" a sequel to Stephen King's IT in which Pennywise is going through a bad breakup and approaches the Losers Club for help retrieving its record collection from its ex, They/Them. It's an open world turn-based puzzle platformer and takes about an hour to finish.

You can play it for free on itch: https://twinbeard.itch.io/it2/

Here's my completed PiCoSteveMo cartridge collection. I sourced every one of these games personally and will not resell them individually. Some of them were in bad physical shape and have replica labels.

to all the fans of Pet Sematary: i’m sorry…i have neither read nor watched the work in question 🙃

for fans of rts games, pikmin, and/or utter chaos: still dubious, but you’re on the right track!

PiCOSteveMo is over! There were 14 games submitted this year. That's a new record:14 Pico-8 games loosely inspired by the works of Stephen King.

The PiCoSteveMo showcase happens on Casey's Twitch channel, tonight: https://www.twitch.tv/basecase

It goes live at 8PM central time. In the meantime you can check out VODs of the 2024 and 2023 showcases and see what the PiCoSteveMo community made in previous years.

You can also just go play the games yourself: https://itch.io/jam/picostevemo-3/entries

The third annual #picostevemo Stephen King #pico8 game jam has ended! @ConManEd, @BitterlyIndifferent and I submitted an entry based on King's novel "Christine", in which the titular murder-car tries to make a new life for herself as a robotaxi. But old habits die hard, and careless pedestrians die so easily...

Strong whiffs of Crazy Taxi and early top-down GTAs abound. Check it out, won't you? https://postgoodism.itch.io/christine-taxi

Less than 24 hours left to submit to PiCoSteveMo 3. If you haven't started on a game yet, I bet you could learn enough Pico-8 to make something in that time.

My PiCoSteveMo game is butting up hard against both the token and compressed code limits right now, 99.85% and 99.79%, respectively.

I wrote about Pico-8 token golfing here, with ordinary and sickos-yes-face examples: https://itch.io/post/14880171
