I previously participated once for a MiniLD and once for the jam on the old site.

Going to try out Pico-8 for the first time, so I'm just now going through a quick tutorial. The plan is to also use pico-8's editors for sound and graphics, but we'll see what I manage to do.

Have fun and good jamming, everyone!

I implemented most of the mechanics that I wanted to add for the jam, some of them you can see in the gif. I will probably join the compo. Usually I make neither my own graphics, nor my own music, but working with pico-8 with the built-in tools making these yourself is kind of natural and I don't have time on Monday anyway.
I did use VSCode for the p8 files though, not the built-in editor.

I'm happy with my progress. There are quite a few things still left on my to-do list, but many are pretty small.
One of the things I want to do is have a quick look at a music tutorial and then cobble together some kind of background music in pico-8.

My first version is also playable already, to test the export I put it on itch.io:

Tired now, looking forward to day 2! Good luck everyone!

I'm calling it done.

Managed to integrate all features I planned to implement during LD.

I have more potential ideas for new features, but I'm not sure yet if they would add anything. I'm glad that I have something that feels semi-complete this time.

Looking forward to playing all your games!

Good night!
