as much as i adore shmups, i wish i had more time to work on a game at all. good luck tho!
[spoiler="messing around with sonic worlds delta 1.2"]
I got a boost thing in there. still incomplete and pretty buggy. i wish i could use the latest worlds engine but it crashes for some reason whenever i open the executable. (probably because i'm using a mac that has wine running my windows apps)

is there anyone who A) has a week or two to spare and B) wants to make a quick little shootemup. if not i'm gonna try out pico-8 again because im really interested in it as a platform and its different from what ive worked in before
I keep hearing about this legendary "free time" but unfortunately I have yet to acquire any of it. Like Jazz I'd love to work on this if I could but I'm just too busy with other things and wouldn't be able to work on it reliably.

Figured I'd quote this cross-thread just so you all could see it over here too.

For $15 you get GM:S Pro, the HTML5 module, and all three Mobile modules.
The normal price of all of these is over $1000.
If you ever wanted to try your hand at developing games, this is a deal you absolutely should not pass up.

Do you think your engine can be ported to tablets devices ?

Toad was just a conveniently sized iso placeholder.
Game will be original IP
Itll also play similar to the board game Runebound as far as stats and combat go

what's the 'right' way to make graphics for Mobile games?
My phone is a Galaxy Note 4 which has a resolution of 1440 × 2560, many phones have 1080 × 1920 and the iPhone 7 is an oddball 750 × 1334.
I realise I could just export multiple assets for different resolutions but it just feels so wrong and stupid. But even so, simply scaling stuff up/down will break fine details like regular grids or thin lines. Any best practices to follow?
