In case you guys are wondering about the Socket frontend on the RG Rotate, well… at this stage, it’s still pretty slow, as you can see. But everything seems to be working properly, the main issue right now is just the performance.
About a year ago, I discovered PICO-8.
At first, I fell in love with its creativity and the incredible games people were making. But it quickly became much more than that. PICO-8 opened the door to an entirely new world for me, a world of retro gaming, emulation, handheld consoles, and all the games I grew up playing. It reignited a passion I didn’t even realize I’d been missing.
As a visual designer, I’d had countless ideas for games for years, but I’d never actually built one, because my lack of development skills.
This game changed that.
It’s the very first game I’ve ever made, and my first real step into game development.
Today, I found out that it was featured by PICO-8.
Honestly, it still doesn’t feel real. This was something I dreamed about from the moment I discovered the platform, and seeing it happen is incredibly motivating.
More than anything, this feels like a sign to keep going.
I want to make more games, not just for PICO-8, but also card games, physics-based games, and, hopefully, games that one day will be released on Steam.
This feels like the beginning of a new journey, and I can’t wait to see where it leads.
Thank you everyone for trying my game and thanks to Pico-8 team for picking this to be on the featured list among amazing talented creators.
