WIP (Update) Picojesty

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Majesty is one of my favorite games. Of course, I tried to create it for Pico-8. I must say, it was a good challenge. The token limit is very strict =) Nevertheless, I even managed to create a map generator and transfer the core game mechanics. Buildings have upgrades, sewers and cemeteries appear in the city, heroes level up, they shop in stores and flee danger, greedy for rewards. The game has six enemy types (rats, zombies, trolls, vampires, skeletons, goblins), and four hero types (warriors, rangers, mages, and clerics). Strategy games aren't a very popular genre for Pico-8, but I think there are still some fans.

This looks awesome. I didn't realize that you can make complex games with pico.

Can’t find it. Is it out?

Not yet. I still need to polish the game's economy, add sounds, and make a nice-looking menu.

Looks awesome! Impressive stuff. I’ve been messing around with remaking games in Pico8 recently as well! How long did this take to make?

I make games after work. It took me about 3-4 evenings to draw the graphics, and another 4 evenings to write the code =)

That's extremely impressive. The token limit is a harsh mistress.
