Pico-8 is love. I recently started working on a tiny game, and I appreciate the limitations of the platform. No more scope creep, i.e. if it is getting bigger than what Pico-8 can support, perhaps I am not thinking straight and focusing on the wrong part. It is like having a free mentor and a dearest friend who is reminding me to finish the core mechanics first, and then if I have time, energy, and other resources, make a reasonable decision on what is the next thing to add. Although it is a double-edged sword, but my heartfelt experience is that embracing and accepting limitations is what constitutes progress.
I haven’t done jams in a long time, but kudos to everyone who will try to push boundaries.
