Ok, so enough of being cryptic.
This project is a bunch of firsts for me. First game jam, first game made for the pico-8, first program written in lua, first platformer I've ever tried to make. I also have a
small child and very limited time, so it's going to be a tough, but fun ride :)
Today I give you the goblin, let's call him Bob. Bob is pretty dumb, and for now all he does is walk back and forth, but he is controlled by the same forces as the dwarf - let's call him Ernest - so when Ernest digs a hole under Bob, Bob will fall and get stuck. Believe it or not, it feels like a huge achievement. Also, Ernest can swing his mithril shovel of doom, but for now he's super frustrated, as he can't hit Bob no matter how hard he tries.
I love programming the Pico-8. The limitations inspire my (limited) creativity and the platform abstracts out all boring chores, such as drawing things on the screen, but leaves you to do everything else on your own. And the things some people do with it... anyway, off to bed for today.
