I couldn't help myself, naming the title that; just thought it was too much of a cliche to miss.
Anyways, my name is Rollerstar and I am an Australian Indie Dev!
In the coming weeks I will be doing my final exams for secondary school! (Yea I'm pretty young...)
So on the balance of study and play, I will hopefully be working on a few exciting projects :P
I only discovered PICO-8 about a week ago, I was on itch.io looking for web games when I came across several titles which all had the same start screen. Originally I thought this must be included in all the games because of all the game jam they were participating in and after a quick google search, I couldn't find anything.
However eventually I stumbled upon this 'fantasy console' and I've been intrigued ever since, I think the whole thing is frikkin awesome and I cannot wait to delve into this new and exciting world!
So I guess if you're interested in seeing what I come up with, keep your tabs open and maybe, eventually.... I'll have something to show!
Glad to be a part of this community and see you all soon :P

RS, just out of curiosity, what game links did you find in Itchy that had PICO games in them ?
Perisher, Hydra, Duck on the Loose and Combo Pool (my fav, play it on my phone everyday now).
Those were the only ones I could find glancing back :)
Wow ! Quite a bit. It does seem like people are gonna use PICO to make some bucks. Hmm ... I wonder how it will all turn out.
Owell. And yes, WELCOME to PICO, RS ! If you know how to program in BASIC then hitting a switch to cause annoying echo
You too can write games in PICO !
echo off And, apparently sell them too as a few enterprising people have done thus far. :)
Ask me or anyone anything about PICO - you're in the right place for video game fun and coding !
Greetings Rollerstar!
I'm also new here and just want to extend the excitement. Pico8 is great! I've only had it for about a week and a half and I've already been more successful at making a game than ever before. Also I'll echo dw817, i'm happy to help where i can!
