Frederic Souchu

@pikuma thanks but moved to bluesky now bsky.app/profile/fsouch… (and doing mostly C stuff on #playdate these days!)

I always loved to see the progress on @FSouchu's work. It's beautiful! The thing I miss the most from Twitter's BE (Before Elon) era is the amazing PICO-8 projects that used to fill my timeline daily.

@stephc_int13 average around 25fps, min around 20 and max 50

@FSouchu What is the framerate on real hardware?

hi - just saying that #playdate #quake -like engine POWER OFF tech demo is out! download for free at: freds72.itch.io/power-off

hi @hellopdpodcast staying away from X these days but could not find another way to contact you! snow! on @playdate is out - happy to send you a key for a review! play.date/games/snow/

@krajzeg thanks - saved by pico8 palette , as usual 😜

@FSouchu Looking great!

New mini #pico8 game for 2024 Advent Calendar Beat the daily score! freds72.itch.io/frozen-islands

@oliverblueberry thanks - and advent calendar is still ongoing, question is more the number of games that are available (it takes time…)

@FSouchu ok this is cool but advent calendar come back? whoa!!

@oneearedrabbit actually never did a game with sprite stacking! If you are referring to Demi Daggers, this was more pre-computer voxels.

@FSouchu Fascinating! No sprite stacking this time?

@marechal_banane @lexaloffle that map transition 😍

@NerdOfGamers why not a standard raycaster?

Phew, the view is nearly done! I have the focal point moving to prove to myself the maths is right and all the points and textures are linking correctly. I will throw together a simple map and then try to display that. Turning will be a struggle but one step at a time. #pico8

@lexaloffle casualty of the 4K world 🤪

ok, everyone out! phew, that was.. wait, where's that little 2 pixel guy? #pico8 #ldjam lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=144631

@tommulgrew hollywood quality material here 🤣

Swordguy meets the evil wooden robot overlords! (⚠️Cheesy dialog incoming...⚠️) #pico8

Finally managed to get the cutscene playing in #pico8. 🥳🎂🤓 Still some rough edges, but I'm pretty stoked.

@lexaloffle that’s called ‘pest control’ 😜

ok, well that level is definitely not going in the game, I just feel sad now #ldjam #pico8

Putting final touches to snow! on @playdate @ridgekuhn (oops typo on your name!!)

@tommulgrew @financegadgt still no go on multi-carts?

@financegadgt There's a lot of ducttape in the pipeline. The editor writes a binary file, which p8 cart reads and stores it in another cart. At runtime that cart copies it to high memory and jumps back to the main cart, which deserializes it into a usable data structure. Bit of a process :-)

The cutscene editor is more-or-less usable now. It's far enough along to look at writing the pico8 loading and rendering code.

@marechal_banane world is very nightish now? better switch map to monochrome?

@SebaFighter wow - first pico8 game? impressive 👌

You can play my new game right now here sebagamesdev.itch.io/backstreet-war…

@surt_r PC? cause that style would be a perfect match for @playdate !

Static dithering eventually started burning into my eyeballs, but shifting it every now and then seemed to fix it.

@_ClulY_ would make an awesome tileset for a Heretic type of game using my Poom engine 😬

Ok, I think I'm keeping the owl heads, so I worked on them a bit more. #pixelart #lowpoly #crocotile #picotron #aseprite

@MrmoTarius are decals raycasting to find the supporting plane? and then snapped at rendering time?

Testing "decal mode" for MRMO-VECTOR. Objects designated as "decals" sample normals from a "base" object, causing them to be culled when facing away from the camera.
