After a bit of a break, I'm finally working on a high score mode for my #Playdate game "Hausbau" again.
Current idea: you get bonus points for building dense cityscapes, but the area keeps expanding if you 'build' beyond its current edges.

While a few items in Lolife are lying around others are earned through some classic questing. If violence isn't working out there's often also a peaceful resolution to be found #playdate #indiegame

I'm dreaming of a RSS reader for the @playdate, scrolling my feed and reading articles with the crank while dreaking my coffee every morning... but I don't know how to code in Lua 😕

@julientaq @neauoire do you think it would be feasible?

AmigoTracker had a small bug in the 3xx effect handling that made weird noises when a note was not defined on the same row. Sideload your 1.30 now to enjoy even more cool tunes!

I watched #TheStolenGirl, a five episode series on #Hulu based on the novel #Playdate by #AlexDahl. The show stars #DeniseGough (from #Andor), #HollidayGrainger #HollyGrainger (who was recently in #Mickey17) and #AmbikaMod (who was recently in #BlackBag #BlackBagFilm #BlackBagMovie) about a woman (Gough) whose daughter is kidnapped, and the unraveling story of the circumstances that led to the kidnapping. I really enjoyed the show.

You'll want a lantern to light your way if you're going to explore any of the underground caves in Lolife. Stumble around in the dark at your own risk... #playdate #indiegame

Haven't had that much time recently, but wanted to show off how the shop UI is progressing. #gamedev #playdate #indiegame #HELLEVATOR

Of all your belongings in Lolife your sword is the most useful. You'll need it to defend yourself from wild animals, fight the castle soldiers, break down weak walls and uncover hidden pathways. Completing your quest without a sword would be quite the challenge! #playdate #indiegame

@Moosader Was just looking up something #playdate related and stumbled across your examples https://moosadee.itch.io/playdate-demos-and-source-code

Very cool!

Was für ein wundervoller Nachmittag! Ich durfte heute Ylvis Kumpel Rumo zu Hause abholen und mit ihm zu meinem Bruder aufs Grundstück fahren, damit die beiden ein bisschen zocken konnten. Teambuilding für den Herbst:#DogScooter mit 2 Hunden. Ich freu mich jetzt schon drauf! 😅

No, it's not a typo (well, depending on whom you ask): Cassino is a strategic card game that'll have you planning right to the finish.

Match cards from your hand to those on the table. No matches? Then build the cards you need. See how it works: https://youtu.be/PXkbgAx6ZPk

I wrote some words about my experience with finally completing my first game and game jam! Had a great time with the @UncrankdPD Pre-Summer Game Jam.

We've also included a built in (and optional) hint system in Lolife that's similar to asking a friend for help. Sometimes all you need is a little nudge in the right direction! #playdate #indiegame

Two weeks until #playdate Season 2.

What caught my attention about Playdate in the first place was this idea of an eclectic, curated mix of games that just appear each week on the console, that the whole community gets at the same time.

Looking forward to this!
