If you want to make an adventure game, you can make a hypercard-like text game in Twine which also exports to the web. You could even draw on old DOS fonts like at https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/ https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/ and style your game like it's 1990!

- yori 7y agoPICO-8 seems to cost $14.99: https://www.lexaloffle.com/games.php?page=updates https://www.lexaloffle.com/games.php?page=updates Is this not open source? Are there any open source alternatives to PICO-8? The idea of PICO-8 is really good and I really liked it but I would like this to based on something open source so that I know that the platform will not disappear at the whims of the vendor and that I can hack on the platform itself if necessary.
