Although this no longer is a &#34;real&#34; PICO-8 cartridge I am very happy that it still FEELS like one.

I&#39;d love for more people to try it, and I hope that creating little tutorials will lower the boundary. <br/><br/>This video is about creating your very own desktop background, feel free to let me know what other stuff you&#39;d like to see. Maybe I&#39;ll do a survivorslike next :) <br/><br/>#lexaloffle #tutorial #gamedev <br/><a href="https://youtu.be/iV6Ky3MOFT4">https://youtu.be/iV6Ky3MOFT4</a> 2026-03-02T17:33:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyat9ghxx975npmy5626s69ply2ukd93l47h4s4r0zd0dgrcvv7cgzyq4yzcs0r59jkwsf9gc0xvllmfvzuf2y5klajg9apxq8hgeezcyzj2rk46m Big visual changes today. I changed tons of outlines, animations and other small stuff. Hopefully for the better! <br/><br/>I&#39;m also working on &#34;Rosemary Peaks&#34; inhabitants and their stories. Keeping track of who unlocks what is getting harder and harder. <br/><br/>Next up I&#39;m probably going to tackle the UI, grey is not a good placeholder. If you have any recommendations on nice looking UI&#39;s in these kinds of games do let me know :) <br/> <br/>#screenshotsaturday #picotron #gamedev #cozygame<br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/116/150/196/993/904/995/original/1f4cf379d48cc0e4.mp4"></video> 2026-02-28T20:46:10Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqr89rvc786dtpn64w3vp0kjm575n5cn07auwjehzzhux9h2vttmczyq4yzcs0r59jkwsf9gc0xvllmfvzuf2y5klajg9apxq8hgeezcyzj42d5wv Today is #release day! <br/>This free #pico8 game is called &#34;Bloodletting&#34;, and it is a real-time combat roguelike. <br/>Give it a try and let me know what you think! <br/><a href="https://taxicomics.itch.io/bloodletting">https://taxicomics.itch.io/bloodletting</a> <br/>Boosts are appreciated! <br/><br/>#solodev #pico8 #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike<br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/113/855/923/287/001/390/original/bcd57890acfe1b0b.mp4"></video> 2025-01-19T16:18:40Z
