@NohatCoder I definitely know the feeling! My project is on easy mode wrt dependencies, because it is for a niche hardware (), it is hard to drag in dependencies there even if you want to :)

This post from made me realise that I hadn't bought ANY new games since buying the console.

So, I just spent a grand total of $12 on 3 games from the Catalog; , , and .

With the average game price on the Catalog being just $5, it's not like buying a new game is as costly as buying games for other games consoles. :face_laughing_with_sweat_drop_fb:

I should buy games more often! :tongue_fb:

In case you have somehow managed to miss it, AmigoTracker is a Protracker module music player for Playdate. It plays most 4 channel mod formats and has nice mustache.

Available on itch (sorry, didn't make the cut for Catalog).

Star Sled by @Gregmaletic is such a good game. 🥹 Even better when you pop a pair of headphones on. 🎧

finally felt comfortable enough with the new version of the game to update the main poster gif shown on the catalog page (and elsewhere) – https://play.date/games/rowbot-rally/

ultimate comparison shot below. gif 1 is the old build, dated around september/october of 2023. gif 2 is the new build, work in progress; gif captured today
i spent today working on adding a CPU, and he's now up to parity with vers. old (can follow the course; can crash; can beat player) — collisions are next

A top down racing game, rendered in only black and white. Two boats are queued up at the start line of a river track with audience members and large trees on the sidelines. After a brief countdown, two boats speed off from the start line, and eventually crash into the edge of the river.
A more recent preview of the top down one-bit boat racing game. Compared to the first gif, shapes are more clearly defined, dither patterns aren't as jittery, and there's more detail on the river course itself. After a brief countdown, two boats speed off from the start line, and eventually crash into the edge of the river.

Started my first tiny project: a confusing citybuilding/puzzle game inspired by a visit at the Bauhaus museum. Not sure yet if it will be a 'real' game though 😅

The team worked really hard to make ☄Comet's announcement trailer.

In 2 weeks we went from something quite rubbish to something I'm really proud of.

Learn how we did it in this mini blog post
