Hunger

This was the first game I actually finished. At least I think so! There might have been an Adobe Flash game I made at some point in my teens, but I don't fully remember if I ever finished it. Or what it was about. Probably for the best.

Hunger was also my first forray into PICO-8. I have fond memories of making this game, learning the basics of Lua and Pico while sitting in bed next to my wife and my baby boy who had very recently emerged into this world. I remember pulling my hair out about collision detection!

As per my "visuals first" approach (blog post about this coming soon), this game started out with glitch-art in mind. I think I got inspired by tweets of the PicoBot.

You can play Hunger over on my itch.io page.
