Recently, I came upon a Twitter thread showcasing an Ultima 1 demake #Pico8 tilemap / sprite sheet. Spurred on by one of the replies I felt compelled to forge my own response in defense of handmade craftmanship and at the same offense of this faddish impulse to program the fuck out of everything.

Pico8, Visualizer, Catalysts, Expanding, Midi

The capabilities of the #Pico8 are expanding as people's experimentation takes things to new levels. has recently released a Piano roll music visualizer and MIDI importer. This means that you can import midi files and listen to them on the wonderful Pico8 virtual sound chip. Very enjoyable on its own, a great indicator of where things are going and a wonderful reminder of how limitations can be catalysts for beautiful things.

On a bit of a #pico8 thrill lately. Just found this great zine with the rather unimaginative title of "Pico-8 Zine". :/ Great content / articles!

Trasevol Dog, Pico8, Quirky, Games, Pixel

One of the things I love most about #pico8 is the capacity for casual development, which allows for experimental games such as #TrasevolDog's Pixel Session vol 1. Quirky, fun, important to have explorations such as these, imho.
