PROJECT CEDAR DEV#3

Continued, A short dev post about a tiny stealth game in http://pico-8.com.

For something I'm just slowly making for fun on the side of my side-side projects it has been fun to isolate scope so heavily. Here's a short update of how it's going.

Art: Bombernauts Workshop Banner

Have you played Bombernauts? It's available on Steam and is a whole lot of fun. It's a great multiplayer game by Tyler Glaiel with art by Sven Ruthner and audio by Brandon McCartin.

For the most recent update – which adds Steam workshop support (full patch notes) – Tyler mentioned needing a hand with a banner quick, and I was in a good position to help out and was happy to help some friends in a bind.

I painted the banner based on some of the power ups in the game, below is the final banner we ended up with. The other Sven painted the robot part, and I merged it into this scene and did the rest. I had a lot of fun painting this!

Check the game out, and bring some friends since it's a good game in groups :D

PROJECT CEDAR DEV#2

Continued, A short dev post about a tiny stealth game in http://pico-8.com.

I had a short break from working on this, while waiting for pico-8 0.1.4. In the meantime I had finished blocking in all the details of the narrative and how that all ties together. I planned a lot of levels on paper and graphed out some ideas for overall structure, and I've done a lot of other stuff that would spoil things if I posted about them at the moment.

Here's a less spoilery, vague, outdated graph diagram before I talk a bit about what I've been doing here.

0.6.3 update notes

fix iconutil El Capitan "Unsuported image format"

Just a short post with a really obscure error from iconutil, after an El Capitan upgrade.

If you run a command similar to:
iconutil -c icns some.iconset -o some.icns

And you get (sic):
error: Unsuported image format

Here are two important things:

PROJECT CEDAR DEV#1

As mentioned, I am making a small stealth game in http://pico-8.com.

I've made quite a bit of progress today so here is a short gif. I now have all the systems in place, and can move on to finishing out the levels and narrative, and higher level ideas. Read more below for the gif and more info.
