Take 5 was the one (Dave Brubeck would be proud).
I finally recorded a version of the video that I am happy with.
Color tables in #picotron are incredibly powerful and useful - and surprisingly easy to use.
This video is my attempt at explaining them.
#gamedev #indiedev #shaders
This game is a mossterpiece!
(maybe my favourite pico8 game?)
I tried creating a video about this topic and I will keep trying, but in the meantime enjoy this little write-up on color tables.

They are a great, cheap way to add effects to your #Picotron projects.

working on transfering the other levels to the new entity system, and since I haven't added the attack animation for the skeletons yet it looks like Rems just dancing around with her new buddy

Working on trying to make the enemies less frustrating. they will now try and back away from you to protect themselves. the red circles are thier targets. This takes a few extra tokens so I gotta try and squeeze it into the other carts.

Pixel art of a strange creature with an entangled body and a red mist hovering above it
malice (this is really not what I was thinking of for the first drawing testing the new palette XD, but well, I had to make an enemy for my next TTRPG!)
#PixelArt #ใใใ็ตต
Pixel Art picture featuring the pokemon Blacephalon, standing on a fence atop an old-looking japanese-like coastal town at night. The crescent moon shines bright, its relection shimmering in the bay. A fantastic Luna Park is seen in the distance, right above the water, with its many towers, a ferry wheel also reflected in the calm, dark waters. The starry sky is illuminated by fireworks.
A character sheet with many different monsters in pixel art. There's a dogu-like magical construct, with its detachable head firing lasers, a giant Squid-like Kraken, a fire skeletal demon. The next row shows a plant-like Alraune entity with a huge rose bud on its head, a Lich with its magic staff wearing an old robe, a skeletal dragon, a chained ghost with two vertical bright eyes and a vampire with a bat's head. The third row has a lagoon monster, a Slime queen with its lower part being a gown, a griffin, a giant spider and a floating possessed doll monster with shiny eyes and crazy snake-like hair. The last row has an antlion with huge pincers, a man-eating giant flower, a mud-like construct with shiny stones, a classical wyvern-like dragon and a decaying zombie giant.
A top down, aerial view of a city and its outskirts by a swampy river. The streets are filled with people, and the architecture has a distinctive early twentieth century aesthetic, with rich bent iron structures.
A top-down view of a cathedral-like structure, with many columns. At the very center, a giant baldachin, firmly standing on twisted columns. The altarpiece is mounted in a rich baroque frame, surmounted by stained glass rose window. A tall, bat-headed vampire is guarding the altar, with bats flying around. A richly adorned pipe organ can be seen to the eastern gallery. Along the transept in front of the absis, two enclosed naves host a Pietร statue and a reliquiary. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. A few zombies and skeletons are marching towards the entrance, where a group of adventurers is preparing for battle, being surrounded. To the side of the absis altar, downward staircases lead to the crypt. A huge skeletal dragon guards a closed gate. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. Below the Cahedral, an underground Ossuary crypt, with walls made out of bones and skulls. An eerie light permeates the various locales, featuring grates, numerous walls of wax, monumental coffins and pillars. A Lich warlock is channeling dark magic by a sarcophagus. The Tower above houses a giant bell. A faraway city can be seen from the terrace, as a Griffin guards the bell beam. A secret room with four chandeliers features many tombs. There, a lady-like demon with bat wings floats above a marble coffin.
+ My major project for this 2026 first quarter has been canceled, therefore I am now open for work - preferably under a part-time workframe, preferably gamedev.
+ Tilesets (+anim) & sprites very welcome!
+ New itch tiles are finally coming, too, but I'm looking for a structured gamedev project.
Combat Chopper - my little #pico8 helicopter combat flight sim - has been ported to #picotron.

A bit of a road block...
LOTS of polish and tile tweaks still needed, but making more progress with the level blockout!
