WAAAAAAAAKE!!

#Playdate #RowBotRally

A GIF of a top-down, one-bit boat racing game. There are two boats on the track, and each one has a very snazzy particle-based wake emanating from the back.

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.

A photo of today's PAX West booth. It is sizeable and has a huge Panic logo suspended from the ceiling, and multiple stations for different games including Nour and Arco. A giant Playdate model sits in front of a Playdate area of the booth.
