Playdate Season Three is OUT NOW! 🤟 play.date/games/seasons/three

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

Thanks @itch.io for boosting #playdate games, and in this case specifically Agents of Groove! 🪩🕺

I was glued to this video for a couple of minutes, then I realized I should turn on the sound and was glued to it for another 15 minutes.

Thank you to everyone who bought the Game Industry Hardship Fund bundle, this is an amazing outcome and will be a huge help to game developers affected by layoffs! #gamedev

Well, we did it - more than $250k for game devs who have been laid off, to be distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who donated their time, games, and money to help folks out in a time of need.

Who has two thumbs and just rebuilt their entire network design after a really annoying and significant DDoS attack*? This corporate entity! 😮‍💨👍👍 Anyway! All Panic websites and services are now BACK ONLINE. We’re hoping it sticks. Thank you for your patience during that time. (*They wanted money.)

We're aware that the Playdate Catalog outage is preventing people from purchasing or redeeming promo codes for Agents of Groove there. Hang tight, it will hopefully be resolved soon! In the meantime, we have extended the sale on itch: itch.io/s/196883/syn...

Wow! This is so cool. Reminds me of the ost to Reel-istic Fishing. It’s amazing you were able to get so far — I adored everything about the game ever since I saw the first trailer. Congrats on the update!

On the occasion of this major update, #playdate magazine Cranko! will do a giveaway of two Agents of Groove codes among those who bought issue 8! Good luck!
