You are not! PICO-8 was where I started, and it was a great experience - both for its community at the time and due to the constraints it imposed, making me focus on finishing games and boiling them down to the essentials.

I heartily recommend PICO-8 for anybody trying to get into hobby/solo gamedev from the programming direction.

I'm personally waiting for PICO-16.

But seriously how do you fit a game into an 8-bit environment?
