These are absolutely awesome! What's the licensing on these? Is it fine to use in commercial games (with attribution of course!)?

Hi! It's partnano#4078, send me a friend request :)

Hi!

I've played it a bit, and it's really simple fun! Though I'd be interested to hear what this decentralised aspect is? I see it mentioned here and on the game page, but no explanation of what the feature actually is?

Hi!

I'm Bernie and I'm currently working on a litte puzzle-y colony-building game. I am a big fan of old-school Gameboy games and the sometimes beautiful art-styles these rather harsh constraints developed. As my specialty is software development with just a passable skill in pixel art, I am looking for someone who would be interested in creating in-game assets in the style (roughly following the graphical constraints) of the Gameboy Color!

About the game: Place buildings, manage and make your colonists happy, and create a great village! You are not god, however, instead you are an old logistics robot that was waken up from slumber, having to remember a few things before building back up in a dried up and toxic world. In short, a colony-sim through the eyes (and controls) of a hero character.

I am working on the concept, game design, and the fundamental software decisions of it for a few months now, on the side, as a hobby. While I can't really offer you anything right now, I am taking this project seriously. Giving credits is the absolute minimum and if some longer more serious coop should develop, I'm open to any option, I will not leave you in the sand. Let's talk!

Who am I, anyway? I'm a professional game programmer from Vienna, Austria, working on games in the Unreal Engine (mostly in the real-life simulation genre). On the side, I created the game Villager (free to play, try it!), which now feels a bit like a prototype to what I'm working on with this. 

So, should any of this sound interesting to you, shoot me an email at [email protected], or tell me your discord id here and I'll message you! I would love to hear from you :)

Brilliant!

I fear I don't have quite the time for that, but you can also just play in the browser (just press the play button on the page), works great on mobile phones :)

Either you open the .html file in a browser, or, the simple solution, just press the play button on the top of this page :)

Glad you enjoyed it! It is just a pico-8 game, so the tiny size of it all was a given. Though since many more people like it than I ever thought, I might work on a "proper" version of it at some point! :)

Happiness affects if peeple join or leave the village! Should've made this clearer, you're right.

Just open the site and press the big 'Run Game' button on the top. Should be working in most mobile-browsers.

LazyDevsAcademy has some amazing tutorial series on YouTube to get started! But other than that, I just hang out on the BBS and pico-8 discord a lot! :D

Due to the constraints of pico-8, unfortunately not. I wrote about it in some detail in the pico-8 BBS post, if you're interested. I hope you still enjoy the game! :)
