We recently went hard mode on our @playdate game ☄️Comet!

A massive visual overhaul, squeezing every drop out of LDtk, and rebuilding our drawing pipeline unlocked all the ideas we wanted to put on screen.

#Playdate

My game Be Kind To Yourself won the Best Arcade Game and Accomplishment in Accessibility awards in #Playdate Community Awards 2024! 🥹 It even got a GOTY nom!

For me, BKTY started as an experiment with a tight scope and it is so reassuring to see it succeed (after handling some impostor thoughts).

I’m thankful for having such a great community around this platform — thanks Squad team, thanks Panic, thanks everybody 💛

You can find more about the game on Playdate Catalog: play.date/g/bkty

I blocked a whole 2 days for this programming task and it was done in 30 mins. Of course I did spend 2 weeks fretting and postponing the task, so I did pay for it in the end.

@splendorr i have a suspicion that not everybody likes to zoom on supercool stuff (i’d say my psychological “tunnel vision”, always focusing on just one thing at a time, might have helped me to love macro and bird photography to the point of taking photos through a loupe or having a cheap 500mm lens)

My app, Pomo Post 🍅 released on the #playdate catalog today! It's a delivery-themed Pomodoro timer that blinks and plays pleasant music that changes with the day. I've been using it at work for half a year and it's done a great job keeping me on-task :)

@splendorr i remember waking up one night when visiting my parents and seeing the whole room slowly pulsating with light. it made me freak out a little before realizing what’s happening 😅 i put the laptop on the floor to charge and that light was pretty strong on the iBook G4

John Romero and I had a delightful hour-long chat about preserving video game history with Kelsey Lewin & Ben Hanson on Minnmax. You can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=-2WJ0nqiLn

We covered topics ranging from Game Informer magazine's recent shutdown & deletion of its website by its corporate parent, to Prince of Persia source code, assembly language programming, and why we should all support @internetarchive.

"A report from Morgan Stanley suggests the datacenter industry is on track to emit 2.5 billion tons by 2030, which is three times higher than the predictions if generative AI had not come into play. The extra demand from GenAI will reportedly lead to a rise in emissions from 200 million tons this year to 600 million tons by 2030, thanks largely to the construction of more data centers to keep up with the demand for cloud services."

i haven't posted about this one, mainly because it came together so fkn fast; but i'm working on a new puzzle game for #playdate. initial concept started 7/4; submitted a comfortably-done version to catalog this morning (we'll see!!), now working on Even More Polish™™™

@halfbyte haha, i recently updated my dad’s xbox. The progress bar is divided into three even parts and completion of the first one took ~15 minutes (it’s the actual download), the second one checks the files in about 10 seconds and the third one goes to 95% immediately and then gets stuck there for 30s. It’s a school of thought.

Me and @gingerbeardman have just released a Playdate port of a classic Windows puzzler 🟢Kye!

It has 1000+ levels, crank to undo, cake challenge, level editor, devlog, and it’s charityware—raising funds for children’s charities!

get the game on mouflon-cloud.itch.io/kye

give to any charity of your choice or join our Save the Children fundraiser justgiving.com/page/kye-for-pl

"The fact that the EU interior ministers want to exempt police officers, soldiers, intelligence officers and even themselves from chat control scanning proves that they know exactly just how unreliable and dangerous the snooping algorithms are that they want to unleash on us citizens."
