- jmor9751 2y agoI love Pico-8. This is quite impressive given the constraints you had to deal with. What techniques did you have to use to fit it all?
- alanxoc3 2y agoOh yeah thanks. I had to do lots of stuff to make it fit: - Run a genetic algorithm to find the best move ordering to save on space. - Sprites are only 1 bit per pixel, with a 3rd color faked with outlining. - Lots of refactoring, code minification, and custom scripts preprocessing the code. This was a project of about 14 months, and I thought it wouldn't be possible multiple times. But relieved it is finally released :)
- jillsdev 2y agoWait, you're the one who made Story of Zeldo! That's one of my favorite pico8 games. Nice game btw. And congrats on launching it
- alanxoc3 2y agoHaha, thx. That game is so bad though!
- sn1kwah 2y agoAdding the Pokemon call sounds was a nice touch!
- alanxoc3 2y agoThe cries are actually just all the packed data (sprites/moves/etc) but with a filter applied. Thanks for playing.
