I completed the first playable version of my new Elder Scrolls-inspired TIC-80 RPG game. It is extremely limited so far but I've implemented many of the main mechanics at this point, and need to focus on visuals and accessibility. Check it out www.youtube.com/shorts/bxUda... #elderscrolls #gamedev

It's really cool that TIC-80 also has downloadable .3dsx releases.... but the last release was in 2023... lol
The 3DS version completely crashes the console if one tries to open the "Options" menu :(

Built a little "sheet music" review practice game using Tic-80 and posted it on the Moos-a-dee web games portal I'm trying to build out. :P
Going to see if my piano student uses it or not.

I got distracted during office hours and ended up spending like 5 hours revising the tutorial I made over the summer for Tic80. Anyway now it's a PDF on itchio.

Todays #MODtober comes in the shape of a TIC-80 sized curveball. My first pop at the fantasy console resulted in me wiriting code as the music straddled multiple tracks and cartridge slots.

Honestly, check out something like PICO-8 (or the open source TIC-80). It's a "fantasy console", an imaginary 8-bit system with a full development environment included. Game development is all structurally the same, and this is a very fun handy way to get your toes wet.

I didn't get any work done on my TIC-80 game today because I have been straight hacking a course through the Magick section of my #TTRPG. Tomorrow I'm going to take some time first thing to get a couple new levels in, and maybe a trap or two!

Good news!—I know you were all on tenterhooks—the built-from-source TIC-80 binary runs carts just fine from the build dir: the problem is the install script doesn't place the .so libraries. 🤦🏻♂️
well, the official TIC-80 .deb package installed on the Pi 5s just fine, but failed to run with a confusing "file not found" message; and when I built it from source, it runs just fine but segfaults as soon as I try to run a cartridge. Irritating!

I downloaded TIC-80, and like part of me desperately wants to make weird mograph with it, and the rest of me doesn't want to learn another language and environment.

Millions of people with the attention span of a Tic-Tac are awarding influence to people they don't even support, for reasons they can't even really articulate or remember.
And then you say, "Remember 80 years ago?"

I used to think it was pretty reasonable for people to remember the lessons we learned from the leadup to WWII because it wasn't that long ago.
Now I realize how many voting Americans don't even have a clear memory of things that happened four years ago.

We didn’t need your Tic Tok’s or Only fans to find love in the 80’s. We just needed to be chased and threatened to have all our extremities cut off by Rutger Hauer. Simpler times.

If you're just joining, Phobos here is basically a mini port of Dejah2, my Godot powered motion graphics studio, which I started on Thursday for fun. It's using the TIC-80, which is basically an open source PICO-8, an emulator for a simple 8-bit 1980s computer that never existed.
