Totally forgot I made a turn-based rpg game based on battle royale using Pico 8 a while ago. Might have to dig that out
To anyone living these kind of fantasy consoles I always recommend TIC-80 as it is a open source alternative. Feature full. And overall more powerful.
TIC is fun too. I like both. And they both work on the miyoo mini plus as a handheld.
I recently discovered what this is on my handheld and there are come really fun games. I’ve been playing Celeste Classic today and another that was an Outrun-esque that I forget the name of.
Would be cool if there was a little description of what this is, please.
I had never heard of it either, but their website does a pretty good job of explaining it.
It’s a fantasy console, a console that has its specifications to achieve the old-style programs on it but isn’t limited to run on certain hardware.
Also, games for it are written in a high level language (Lua) which makes it significantly easier to get into than actual old hardware.
Sounds very niche.
It’s actually really neat. You should check it out.
For $12–14, to test something I’m probably not interested in sinking time into, I think I have to pass. Thank you for the suggestion though!
You dont need to: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=11722
Just click the play button.
How much are you willing to pay to test something and have an experience? $15 isn’t that much.
I know. I’ve spent about $200 on sex toys for me and my wife during the last couple weeks. I’m willing to pay a lot for things that I know I’ll like and I care about experiencing. 😅 But this? I don’t care enough. But I’m happy it exists for you guys’ sake! ❤️
Still though, $15 here and $15 there and everywhere… Shit adds up if you want to experience the entire world. I’m not made of money, even though I make a good living.
Alright bro, no need to overshare
It’s also an entry point into hobby game dev for a lot of people.
