surf's up! #pico8

Happy new year! I've made 12 levels out of my goal of 100 for my #pico8 precision platformer. I'm trying not to think too hard about it - this is more of an exercise for me than trying to really polish something up.

Not super exciting to see, but cool under the hood! My level select is now decompressing px9-compressed strings into the extended map memory, then kicking the game off.

100 so-so levels, here i come!

Got a tiny bit of gamedev in during the Thanksgiving holiday. Made a level selector for my #pico8 precision platformer, "100 Rooms of Doom".

I want to try and make 100 levels! They won't all be winners.

Extremely busy test room for a precision platformer I am working on for #pico8. Trying not to think too hard about polish here.

Gonna be a simple game, but I want to try and use 1) compression and 2) persistent save data. Would like this game to be simple but sprawling!

I'm probably best known (if known at all!!!) for Hungry Harry 3D, a simple PSX-style 3d platformer for #pico8.

We are coming up on the 6 year anniversary! I would love to work on a bigger followup, but life is so much busier right now. Would love to have a bigger, livelier world to explore.

Happy to see familiar faces here again!

My most engaged days are behind me, but I like to hang out to follow data science and game dev.

I make little games with #pico8! This is a small cut of some of my games, you can check them out in my bio for free.
