the incredibly tiny procedural music system that i made for my new game SP13KTRA is now available for people to play around with! 🎶🌈
it makes billions of music variations using only a single number.

I wrote a little beginners guide on #pico8 and #picotron math.
It's a short read going over the most common applications of percentages, distance functions, linear interpolation, sin, cos and atan2.
Big thanks to the PICO-8 community for giving me feedback on this!

I bet you didn't know that Lily2D now has a Pixels API! 👀
Lily2D already has great support for WGSL shaders - and now it also includes a tiny 256x144 framebuffer renderer!
Time to get started on that prototype, game jam or even just keep it retro!

Currently working on terrain texturing, but this I liked this planet's colors and thought this was pretty.

Reluctantly moving towards a deferred renderer for this project and a "real" 3D scene. Fun shader debugging times

Here's a screenshot of the game and the splash screen. It's almost done now. A bit of level tidying and then some play-testing but I'm pretty happy with it. #js13k #gamedev #indiedev #javascript
