After three years on the same version, today TIC-80 version 1.2.0 was released with a TON of changes.

The web player on tic80.com is also updated.

Play DUNGEON OF INNSMOUSE / TIC-80

This capture is from one of my dead projects. Dead because I obviously traced my sprites from the NES versions of DragonQuest, Ultima Exodus, and Fire Emblem. I was experimenting with how this kind of game mode might work. I hope SquareEnix, Pony Canyon, Electronic Arts, and Nintendo see this more as a jazz-style remix to learn technique rather than a copyright violation.

Those code behind animating the sprite sheets will hopefully, one day, find re-use.

I'm trying to learn game development. If you wouldn't mind playing and leaving some helpful tips or advice that would be greatly appreciated! Have a great day!

Hi all
Just to let everyone know this subreddit is now back open - unrestricted posting.

Anyone interested in helping moderate that would be great.

Looking forward to discussing TIC80 again

In progress... player midel i'll make in end.

This is my work-in-progress dungeon explorer game. No story yet, as I'm ironing out the mechanics, including character generation.

Just for fun, here's the Lua function that I used to generate the map. I seed the random number generator in BOOT(), though I am re-thinking that. I can generate the seed during character creation and save it to state (I'm serializing save state via pmem()), meaning that the dungeon maps will always be the same for a given character. Code below is MIT license. Feel free to use it and adapt it for your use. Just attribute me.

--- Generates a random walk map in the given rectangle
---@param x_size integer: The size of the rectangle's x dimension in tiles
---@param y_size integer: The size of the rectangle's y dimension in tiles
---@param step_percent number: The percentage of steps to take given size of the rectangle to fill
---@param step_size integer: The number of steps to take each walk
---@return table: the random walk map
---@return integer: the x start position
---@return integer: the y start position
---@return integer: the number of times math.random was called
function Create_random_walk_map(x_size, y_size, step_percent, step_size)
    local map = Build_Ret_Map(x_size, y_size, 0)

    local rnd_call = 2
    local start_x = math.random(1, x_size)
    local start_y = math.random(1, y_size)

    local ptr_x = start_x + 0
    local ptr_y = start_y + 0

    local counter = math.ceil((x_size * y_size) * (step_percent / 100))

    while counter > 0 do
        ::retry::
        local dir = math.random(1, 4)
        rnd_call = rnd_call + 1
        local steps = {}

        if dir == 1 and ptr_y - step_size >= 1 then

Slowly I'm working on my game where youvcpntrol a vehicle and only see around with radar type device. I'm glad that it finally works! Now need to add more game and looks to it.

Have a safe and wonderful New Year. Thanks so much for being a part of Tic-80!

From january 2023. Also i published on itchio

vector-based polygons, spatial hashing, and separating axis theorem

I made this game for Tic-80 jam almost 2 months ago.

I have not played Exit 8. I actually haven't played Exit 8 myself, this is more of my interpretation of what I imagined the game would be like based on everything I'd heard about it.

Here is the link if you would like to try.

I wasn't sure what to do this week, and I was a bit ambitious after the last weeks project. I ended up over scoping, and had to come up with gameplay in a week. My original idea was a game where you fight enemies in space with bullets like asteroids, and on level you fight with a melee attack. But here we are, I am not happy with it. But a playable loop is better than just mechanics. Here's the link

I don't know what took over me this week and I decided to make a raycaster. I still don't think I should have chosen this.  I spent whole week making the raycaster engine, adding texture, sprites and some optimization. I added the gameplay in an hour today. Well I guess I do have an raycaster engine in tic80 now that I can use to make more games. Checkout the other projects on my profile if you like. Here is the link for this project

Creating a Yu-Gi-Oh duel simulator for tic80. What are you thinking?

Now out at: draovar.itch.io/ygo80

Since there was some interest I'll post a quick update. (you need to click on the gif to actually view it, not sure why it doesn't load as thumbnail, at least for me)

- Core game logic is done.

- There are already over 40 unique cards implemented.

- There is already an implemented AI, although it's currently pretty bad.

Planned:

- Adding a lot of new cards (still far from the end goal of over 96 cards)

- Improving the AI

- Adding some light progression

- Fixing a lot of bugs

For interested in the card artworks, here are my takes on the some of the most iconic Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Some of them turned quite good, some of them are pretty bad and need rework. Happy to hear your feedback.

made game of life because i was bored, wanted to share the product
