10 years later and we are a go

It has been 10 years since this idea started and went utterly no where other than a few screen shots. In that time flash has died, hence this going nowhere and life got busy.  I have however been playing about with making games on other things, I even made one in game maker studio and remade it in unity to see if I could. I have also been playing about with the idea of a new game and whilst I was looking into things and how to in unity I was reminded of Pico-8 a little programing thing for making 8 bit games. Now I thought, why not give that a go with this new game idea, although really it needs to be 16 bit not 8 bit.

so, I got into a bit of researching and and what not only to realise this pico8 is pretty damn cool. I love the idea that I can crate things ad then export for playing on the web, which means directly onto my website. Whilst it might be limited in what it can do, that doesn't mater as I am sure it is way more powerful than I think i is and well I like a bit of a challenge and seeing a my graphics skills are piss poor surely an 8bit setting would suit my world better. So instead of jumping directly in with the big idea, I decided to make something else, then I realised my other idea was rather good as well and might not be suited to 8bit, when I finally remembered about this idea.

so the plan is to get pico8 and start working on this game I had an idea for 10 years ago. That way this v simple game and simple looking game surely can come together fairly quickly and means I can learn at the same time as I build it. I am actually fairly excited by this and can't wait to get started.
