Experimenting with a new jump animation for a possible sequel to Hyper Vector... #playdate #indiedev

In the future, the advertisements are like in the past. #playdate #indiedev #gamedev

This boss needs a new name in our upcoming game for called Cranky Dog exclusively for Playdate. #playdate

1/2 I’ve gotten ahead of myself, but I should have marked this milestone: Cult of the Full Moon has been approved by Panic for the Playdate Catalog. Two years of building it from scratch, and here’s the result. 🌕

Showcase time! It’s always fun showing people @play.date for the first time :)

#Playdate Season 3 第3週の #CrossWords は気軽なワードパズル。スクラッチ風のヒント画面が気に入った。クランクでちょっとずつチラ見できる。 前作『Word Trip』はおしゃれだけど結構難しくて、それに比べると今作はかなりとっつきやすくなった印象。

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

STAR BENTO! スターベントウ This weekend on track to finish the last background art for Star bento! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #playdate

This might be one of the coolest things I've ever coded. I think I need more angles for the ship. But it's basically done. (Music from #DuckTales is placeholder. I just love that theme.) #playdate #gamedev #pixelart

ついに出た、 #GloomGate 。めっちゃ楽しい。回避、パリィ、スタガー、ガード、溜め攻撃などなど、本格アクションゲームと言って良いと思う。何より #Playdate で立体的なアニメーションがヌルヌル動く感動。 いわゆるソウルライクで、倒れると経験値を落として焚き火に戻されるけど、そこまで理不尽な難易度ではないのも好き。

#Playdate の顔にもなった『Root Bear』開発元の新作、 #SoggyFroggy は相変わらず可愛く、気が利いていて、難しい！あっという間に過熱する湯船をかき混ぜて微調整。テンポが早くて頭が混乱、咄嗟に冷ましすぎてしまう。短く遊べるから、出先でやるのにちょうどよさそう。 おまけで占いもできる。「醤油は何にでも合う。」とのありがたいお告げ。

Isles of Sea and Sky, Salad Fields, Bonfire Peaks, He Who Watches, A Monster's Expedition, etc (puzzle games you could be playing instead of Order of the Sinking Star)

🌊🌴Isles of Sea and Sky🌴🐢 is OUT NOW on Nintendo Switch!!! Wow!! A fantastic, oceanic, open world puzzle adventure. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... If you haven’t played yet, now is the time!

Little Comet update! There's some really exciting work going on behind the scenes for us. The team has had an amazing month and we'll have lots to share in the future! Until then, expect a regular dev log out soon.

We’ll be having an AMA on r/NintendoSwitch @rnintendoswitch.com on October 9th at 12pm ET! We’d love to hear from you! If you have a burning question for us, or just want to know what our favorite ice cream is, please drop by! We will be giving away 3 Switch codes for our 3 favorite questions!

Here's the first blocker: when you enter the visitor center, you quickly realize the stairs are broken. Once you drop down, you can't jump high enough to get back. Now you're forced to explore the museum and find the power suit, so you can jump higher (among other things you'll have to discover 😎)

I’m feeling someone should make The Devil Wears Prada for front end web design. https://youtu.be/vL-KQij0I8I?si=tZR23K19QXHI-7Lr “Do you think you just stumbled into that site map in your footer?”

I still think about this often. So much love and care has been, and is still being put into this game. When I asked to help with redrawing the main menu, I truly wanted to make it of a quality worthy of being in it. I truly hope nothing but the best for Team Comet and the Playdate community! 💖💫✨

@guv-bubbs.bsky.social wanted to see it... so here are 9 games that shaped who I am. I focused on games that were formative for me, or made me think differently about games or game design (and obviously these are all games that I loved playing). It's very difficult to narrow this down to just 9!

9 games that shaped who I am I may be late to this trend but I would love to see my #playdate pals get in on this. Lots of important games missing from this list, but this feels like a good cross section of different stages of my life. @mouflon.cloud, @draperdanman.bsky.social, @nicknack.games

John is burying the lead on this one. His award winning #playdate game, Spilled mushrooms is coming to PC! That's awesome news!

New game dev post on Patreon. The Lil Sweetie was a short-lived email device for girls released in 1999. You can find and use one in Transfer Point. Here’s how I adapted its interface for Playdate 🍬 www.patreon.com/robotspacer/... #Playdate #PlaydateDev

TGS2026、一般日が開場されました！ 我がE-72「CRAZY SONIC」ブースでは、一般日限定の配布物を用意しております！ 「（ほぼ）実物大Playdateステッカー」です！ BitSummit2025のものより、クオリティアップ！ 試遊頂いた方限定で、先着100枚となっております！

Way too late to the party… but Season 3 inspired me to look back at my #Playdate library and holy crap is Cranky Cove phenomenal Such a great core concept, executed perfectly and then thoroughly explored and rung out for every drop of fun. It’s a 10/10 Masterpiece

Loving the fresh ui work in this one.

Hey puzzle fans! Spookyban is currently on sale on the Playdate Catalog, for a limited time only. Get it while it's cheap! play.date/games/462813/ #playdate #puzzle #sale #discount

My latest PlayDate game is out! I think it's pretty fun to find a good combo and absolutely demolish.

RPG battle systems, illustrated! (alt text cheat sheet)

Have you ever used a computer with a crank? 👀 #playdate #gamedev

Go read Kirill’s dev log on his soon to be released @Playdate game, Cult of the Full Moon! Kirill is relentless when it comes to his art. And I think the way he’s combined mechanics of Rogue with broader board & card game design is quite novel. It’s also perfectly made for #Playdate.

Some early animation for one of my creatures. Still rough, but not too bad. But I’ve got a good pipeline setup in Houdini to rig these 2D characters from my artist now. #playdate #veros #indiegame #indiedev

Making #playdate games... #screenshotsaturday

Still working hard on Yoyobot for #playdate. Here's a blocked entrance. #screenshotsaturday

Another chapter opening sequence for Boondoggle. It starts off harmless… then everything changes. Also, look out for the Boondoggle Chronicles on YouTube. #indiegamedev #playdate #playdateprime

Development continues! This week I've been doing more testing on my #playdate. The game feels really intuitive with the crank and d-pad combo. #indiedev #gamedev

My game DDD: THE NATURAL PLAYBOYS is about a homeless, sweaty celeb. It's a lot like my life. It currently has 2 gay bars you can visit. This is one of them. It's called the Boy Zoo. You can find it on the beach. All who donate get added to its Wall of Fame. Imagine! Living forever! In a video game.

#Asemulator v1.0.0 releases on August 28th! 🎉 The Top-down and Side-scroller templates will be available on the same date. Get ready to preview, test and share your characters' animated sprites in context, directly in @aseprite.org! Reposts highly appreciated~

#BitSummitPunch ひとまず撤収。後日落ち着いて振り返りますが、差し当たって一番印象に残ったのは『Canvas City』。 XCOM × JSR のポップな戦術シムで、 AP をトリックで稼ぐメカニクスが遊びごたえありました。1階入って右手、 1F-A05 CODE NZ （ニュージーランド）ブースです。

It’s awesome to see more CHC games appear on my timeline organically! I look at a #canvascity sticker every week on boardgame night!
