Making a Launcher Game in Pico-8
Over The Moon » Devlog
I’ve released a devlog breaking down the making of Over the Moon, a tiny barnyard-themed launcher game created in the Pico-8 fantasy console.
I cover everything from the inspiration behind the project (classic Flash games like Learn to Fly), to how I overcame Pico-8’s limitations, built the launch/earn/upgrade gameplay loop, and fixed the game’s late-game economy. Perfect if you’re interested in game development, devlogs, Pico-8 projects, or retro-inspired indie games.
