Profile

After bringing Zork to the Pico-8 via Status Line (a z-machine interpreter for the system), I had been thinking about bringing a graphic text adventure to the system within the single-cart limitation of 64K.Today I have released Mystery House (Remodeled), which brings all graphics, text, *and bugs* (intentionally so) of this public domain classic to the Pico-8. It is GPLv3 and available on GitHub: https://github.com/ChristopherDrum/mystery_house_remodeledTwo graphics tools, Versawriter-8 and 1 Bit Wonder, were also built to support this project. More details about those, and their source code, will be released in the coming weeks. These were instrumental in helping me squeeze the 140K origin

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
