So I've been working on this off and on for a couple of years now, and I just kind of got tired of sitting on it. There's definitely some improvements (mostly cosmetic) that could be made, but it's in a playable state at least now!

Hi! Does anyone have any nice tips on how to do wavetable modulation? I tried some stuff but I think I lack some basic knowledge and skills to get started.
edit: to be clear I'm talking about LFOs, filtersweeps, phase-shifting, etc

This isn't 100% complete but I made this tileset as a little detour to the project I'm currently procrastinating on. I encourage anybody and everybody to expand on the ideas presented here. I just made this post quickly because I wanted to post this somewhere so it's not just sitting on my hard drive until the end of time. I don't really intend on finishing it but here's what I did do:
All playing cards + variants
All planet cards
All tarot cards
All spectral cards
Card pack base
6 joker elements (~20 or more of Balatro's standard-looking Jokers can probably be made with them)
Interaction icons
NOT done...
Most non-standard jokers
Vouchers
Tags
???
Here's some mockups...
And here's the sheet:

Hi guys :) this is my first complete simple game made with pico8 (and my first game overall too). In the past, I studied and then abandoned game development a lot of times, but lately I have started again, forcing myself to finish them.
Enjoy gamedev!

This started as an exercise to learn player movement and control, and then as I was trying out new things I just kept adding until it wound up being something kind of fun. I'm new to this and trying to learn, so feedback and criticism are very welcome! Thanks!

A little "interactive experience" to see if I understood particle systems. Press "c" to fire.

My first attempt making a new concept from scratch. Had to learn/trial-and-error circle math to make it work!

I'm proud and honored to have been interviewed in Retro Gamer issue #268 about being a PICO-8 gamedev. Big thanks Andrew Fisher who runs the homebrew section at Retro Gamer for the opportunity to share a little bit of my story. The issue is the one with the Mega Drive on the cover and it just hit shelves here in the US in March (last month in the UK). Barnes & Noble stores carry it but you can also get a subscription online - highly recommended.
It's only 4 paragraphs and few screenshots but it's still neat to see yourself a video game magazine...long time reader, first time featured :) I'm not sure if my story or games deserve such a spotlight but I'll take the 15 minutes of nerd fame. And anything to shine some more light on PICO8 is always part of the mission as well...according to the article, I'm an "advocate" lol

Goal:
Dig as deep as you can!
Movement:
Press and hold a direction to accumulate charge, and let go of all direction keys to slingshot the ball in the desired direction.
Available charge accumulates over time, and is displayed at the top of the screen.
The faster the ball, the more damage it deals.
Score:
Bricks spawn with varying health. Each time a brick is destroyed, its initial health is added to your score.
Power Ups
2x doubles the amount of points bricks provide.
4x quadruples the amount of points bricks provide.
Maximum Charge keeps available charge at the maximum amount.
Maximum Damage allows the ball to destroy any brick upon contact, regardless of speed.

Do you have examples of carts that imply that pico8 actually existed? Like with an authentic cart label or a "copyright" disclaimer, or something like a pdf MANUAL included with the game, just like how real game cartridges were distributed back then?
I really like the idea of implementing something like this in my games. Here's what I did for one of my tools:
This only extends to the cart label having a "studio" name, a pico8 logo and a creative commons license logo though.

tennis is just a small, 2-player game, where you must, well, play tennis! Hit the ball back and forth, and if it hits your side of the screen, the other player gains a point, and the first player to reach 7 points wins!

This is a simple adventure game I made for my son, who is 3 years old. He loves the old Zelda games, but obviously he has trouble with the dialog parts and the puzzles. He also loves trucks, dinosaurs, and to write music with me. He even helped write the music for the game!
I resolved to make a game in the same style as those games, but MUCH simpler.
Main features:
- No dialog or reading required.
- Simple, randomly generated terrain features
- Randomly spawned enemies (3 types)
- Randomly located boss (a fire-breathing T-Rex)
- Randomly placed treasures
- Consistent land features (field of tall grass, beach)
The goal is to go around and get the 3 treasures, then return them to the giant toybox in the middle of the map. The treasures are scattered around the map:
