Show HN: Driftmania – an open source PICO-8 racing game
Nice work, gives me very Micro Machines vibes for the NES. The only thing I don't like about PICO-8 is that its completely closed source. An open source alternative that seems very promising is Pyxel. It has similar retro / pixel art limitations, a built-in sprite editor, music tracker, etc. https://github.com/kitao/pyxel. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Web App Generation Feature Added to Pyxel, a Retro Game Engine for Python
A function to automatically generate an application launch URL has been added to Pyxel, a retro game engine for Python (https://github.com/kitao/pyxel please add your star to this repository!). Source: about 1 year ago
Is PyGame worth using?
It's fine. You might also enjoy working with Pyxel, which is a little more pixellated and fun and not exactly "classically production ready" either. (I mean, games like Papers, Please could be programmed in Pygame, but that's about it). Source: over 1 year ago
Python Alternative to Pygame similar to LÖVE ?
PySDL2(lower level than Love) and Pyxel(more like PICO-8 but scripted with Python). Source: over 1 year ago

It uses my 2D framework nCine, which I recently ported to Raspberry Pi. That's why there are so many supported platforms. ;). Source: over 2 years ago
nCine comes to Raspberry (my open-source 2D game framework)
nCine is a cross-platform 2D framework written in C++11 and scriptable with Lua that can be used for games, tools, or prototypes. I have been working on it in my spare time for more than ten years and it now works out-of-the-box on the latest version or Raspberry Pi OS! Source: over 2 years ago
SpookyGhost, a procedural sprite animation tool, is now free and open source
I created this tool for game artists a while ago, with the hope of selling it and start an independent company about game development, tools, and game technology. Unfortunately, it sold pretty much nothing so I'm back to the game industry as an employee while I decided to make it FOSS. :D It is written in C++ using my game framework nCine (https://ncine.github.io/) and ImGui, and it supports multiple platforms,... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
