Big progress on my Playdate game this week: you can now talk to the egret. The egret is not very chatty tho #Playdate #PlaydateDev

Making good progress on the Playdate port of my game! I think I have most of the inventory UI figured out now, and it feels pretty nice to play. #Playdate #PlaydateDev

I've gotten some fun replies to this question over on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/robotspacer.online/post/3loq4gkinfc22 Unsurprisingly I haven't heard from anyone that made an actual physical copy of a Playdate game (yet?), but some folks have made boxes with manuals and stickers, as well as a card game, which are great ideas! #Playdate #PlaydateDev

My early birthday present to myself arrived yesterday :3 #playdate #playdatedev

While it doesn’t directly convert Playdate fonts, you can upload the image file from a Playdate font, to use for the pixel data. I was able to convert mine very easily. #PlaydateDev

#playdatedev is getting network APIs 🥰

Working on my Playdate adventure game for a bit! Today’s task: there’s no egret here but I would like there to be an egret here. Let’s add interactive objects to the game engine so I can fix that. https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch #Playdate #PlaydateDev

Just posted another one of my short Playdate devlog videos! This time I figure how to make a nice custom transition between scenes, and handle the fun complexities of dithered patterns clashing in unexpected ways~ 🏁✨ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aePfGQ_BdM&list=PLhKtbablIXrcNw5O10poNHt2Sp-R9WwNY&index=2 #Playdate #PlaydateDev

Today I’m going to design and prototype the inventory UI for my Playdate adventure game! Live now over on https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch #Playdate #PlaydateDev

I thought I’d try something new as I work on the Playdate port of my adventure game: short devlog videos to share my progress! Here’s the first one, on making a scrolling text view feel more responsive ✨ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N4CUdrTNLk #Playdate #PlaydateDev

I dropped an update for my free #PlaydateConsole game pdblix today!

#Playdate #PlaydateDev #PlaydateGame

Just released my first game for the Playdate -- a port of the old flash game 'Blix'. I'd be chuffed to bits if you checked it out.

So I wrote a useless app for the Playdate that lets you re-wrap your games :) https://gatesphere.itch.io/giftwrap

@itnewsbot Although I use Nova, this post is how I became aware that Playdates were a thing in the world. ‘Is that Panic logo on the carton?’ I asked myself.

Got here today, and it’s the bees knees!

Whilst it is no Assassin’s Creed this has kept me entertained and the grey cells ticking. Hoping that it might also kick start a little programmer in the family.

Thanks to @UncrankdPD for the mention in the recent Uncrank'd News Update. It's a pleasure.

This little guy is mean. He is a sprinter, has a hot hand grenade, and really wants to make me taste it… 💥

Game Over, Man!
