Pico 8 Adventure game


For this game I followed along with the wonderful tutorial series for beginners at pico 8, by Dylan Bennett. I highly recommend it.

  • From that I created background music, just a simple tune. 
  • Altered the pixel artwork, creating thick outlines for everything in the scene.
  • Created code that allowed for different views of the character, based on button inputs from player.
  • Created multiple rooms for the player to traverse, after collecting the mushrooms in that room.

Not much more to say other than that, it is a rather small game.

In the future I hope to create a larger game, and not rely on tutorials for coding in pico 8.

Next time I would like to take an approach of trying to figure out the coding side, now that I have a better understanding of Lua. And if I really can figure it out, to look up documentation rather than video tutorials to follow along too.

All in all, I've really enjoyed working with pico 8, the limitations make creating a small game really easy and quick. I'd love to make a 2D platformer game in pico 8 next.

Happy coding!
