Remember my first project? It got an upgrade
Hey everyone! Just wanted to share that I just released my second PICO-8 game: Floppy Canary 🐤 Some of you might remember when I started learning to code from scratch a few months ago. This is actually the very first project I ever made, following SpaceCat's Flappy Bird tutorial. After finishing Breakout Laser Jump, I went back to that original code and rebuilt upon it with everything I'd learned along the way. You can try it here: https://lucasgalib.itch.io/floppy-canary

Specifics?
What would you like a deep dive video on for game dev? Any specific topic you’re curious about or having a mental block with?

How to publish a game in itch, newgrounds, lexaloffle BBS and maybe some others I dont know about. And how to make an attractive game page in those platforms.

Breakout Laser Jump just released!
Just dropped my PICO-8 game 🎮 Breakout but your paddle can jump and you have a laser cannon. https://lucasgalib.itch.io/breakout-laser-jump

Hey @Michael Patterson, thank you so much for the detailed feedback. Really glad the jump mechanic worked for you. Some people just skip the whole mechanic. The retry button was definitely non-negotiable, but I like you still have to play the whole game without dying for maximum score. As for development time it took about 2 months of some of my spare time. I have a full time job and other hobbies too. Thanks again for playing!

New project on the works
I'm working on an arkanoid clone. Mechanics are mostly done, now I'd like to focus on the sprites and sfx. What do you think about the paddle jump or laser shots?

@Sander van Leth The jump slightly increases ball speed, creating a trade-off: the added difficulty of increased speed is offset by increased pad horizontal speed while jumping, letting you reach otherwise unreachable balls. Jump also has an extra feature, since you can now hit the ball at different vertical positions on the pad, you naturally vary the trajectory, giving you more control over your shots.

Here's the current progress. Sprites, SFX, and music are done. Level design is a whole new skill on its own. I'm iterating every level through a lot of playtesting. Nothing is set in stone, so feel free to suggest improvements!

I’m getting into game development as a hobby, even though I don’t have any previous programming experience.
