Thanks for all the support for #OblivionEve so far! It's easily hit 4000 plays in the last few days. I've additionally released it on Newgrounds, by popular request! Newgrounds: newgrounds.com/portal/view/92… Pico-8 BBS: lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=140564 #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

@3d_nout @lexaloffle Originally it was just 2 carts, one for the menu, and one for the game proper. But I ended up adding a third for the tutorial, and another to store the 20 pages of game lore lol. And thank you so much, but I couldn't possibly accept. I'm glad to hear you love the game, though!

@SmartAlloc @lexaloffle This is amazing! How many carts did you fit it into? Pico8 devs are getting too good recently, which makes be a bit embarrassed. Btw, I'd be happy to send you some small amount of bitcoin for this great work if you are interested, totally ok if not. Value for value.

Oblivion Eve, my Pico-8 roguelike platformer, has finally released! Explore a sprawling dungeon with a plethora of powerful upgrades to help you cleave through anything in your way! Play for free on Itch: smartalloc.itch.io/oblivion-eve Pico-8 BBS: lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=140564

@ForceBotNES @merman1974 That is indeed correct - alongside tight design limitations, the game needs to be compressible into the pixels in a 128x128 png image - roughly 32kb.

@SmartAlloc @merman1974 Someone told me that pico 8 games, there is a size limit on the "carts" and that you can only have so much data in your game?

Added a training mode to #OblivionEve, where you can practice with the five different weapons - which each have different attacks and playstyles. Oblivion Eve releases for free tomorrow afternoon! #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Feathered Escape released. BBS: lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=141898 Itch: yokoboko.itch.io/feathered-esca… #indiegame #gamedev #pico8 #pixelart #itchio #featheredescape

The WIP menu in my #pico8 game, #OblivionEve. When starting a new run, you can choose between one of 5 different weapons, and the difficulty. In addition, you can read over the pages of lore that you collect during gameplay, to get a better understanding of the backstory.

In #OblivionEve, if you have enough meter, you can transform into powerful new forms - which grant increased offense and mobility! This power isn't free, though - building your meter in the first place requires you to perform long combos! #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Some of the effects might not seems super useful, but they're all quite powerful when properly utilized. For instance, when you have high Attack Duration, you can spin your weapons around you in a whirlwind, or to fire them off into the distance as a potent projectile!

When exploring the dungeons in #OblivionEve, you can come across discarded weapons, which can be used to upgrade your attacks! You can modify the properties of said attacks, or even completely switch out what weapons you use to perform them. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

@ElsewhereZone Sadly, nothing. The objective is to free the big guy, as much as they'd rather stay enchained.

@Smart_Alloc what happens if you hit his head

Here's a WIP boss for my upcoming #pico8 roguelike game. How kind of them to refrain from attacking you when you're striking one of the gems in their necklace! #gamedev #indiedev

I'm working on an action-platformer roguelike for the #pico8 - featuring randomized maps, really big swords, and powerful supers! #gamedev #indiedev
