  1. Realised the #Playdate cover has a big old magnet on the back of it 🧲 so can store the console in the most unlikely places, like just having it stuck on the wall 🤷

  3. Teddison Inc (Playdate): COMPLETED!

    Teddison Inc is a cookie-clicker type numbers-go-up game. You’re a bear (for no explained reason, except – presumably – to enable the pun in the title) and you’d discovered you can use a bike to generate electricity. So you crank the Playdate and the number of watts goes up.

    Then you can spend these watts to buy automations so you no longer have to crank. And more cyclists. And then better electricity generators like solar farms and wind turbines, as well as upgrades like better bike cranks to make existing generators more efficient. Soon you’re generating kilowatts, megawatts, and so on as the number go ever higher.

    Unlike some of these clicker games where you have to leave them running overnight to get enough currency to progress, the whole game here is doable in a single sitting of about an hour. Which feels a bit short, but it’s fine. Some irony in a game about generating power using less power to play than other games in the same genre, I suppose.

  7. I wrote a quick #playdate app prototype, sleepmate, that uses the accelerometer to detect when I'm sleeping on my back vs side sleeping. This is useful to know as I have mild #osa that worsens when I'm on my back. It requires that you strap the playdate to your chest while you sleep 😅...but it seems to work! Next step will be to have it play a sound when I'm back sleeping so I know to roll over.

  8. Rolling credits on all my train games 🥲

    Gonna have to find a new franchise to obsess over now!

  9. This thread is a mixed bag of @playdate news:

    The price of the console is going up in future 📈 but you can buy refurbished hardware for a discounted price 🪛 or grab a console NOW at the existing price 💸

    I like my Playdate. It's a very fun handheld console to use and I really admire that @panic ventured into that space. 👏

  10. It's spooky season, so why not add a little malice to your games!

    It's a brand new #Squids update, now with something a bit evil!

  11. You ever have one of those nights where you’re like “I should build a standalone leaderboard for my Play date game that lets you scan a QR code to submit your scores”?

    No? Just me?

  12. I was planning to spend the weekend participating in #minijam to take a break from #playdate development, but ended up tinkering with my home-built #tic80 raycasting engine instead. Still needs some work, but it's almost ready to use in a project.

  14. Waiting to receive my #PlayDate by playing Ghosts 'n Goblins mini game on my modded Neogeo Pocket Crystal. This mini game is hidden in the excellent SNK vs. Capcom Match of The Millennium. 👇

  15. Hi Everyone!
    Totally new here so I thought a brief #introduction post might be in order!

    I'm Chris, a lifelong gamer (since the ZX81... yes, that long ago!) now taking a first proper dive into game development - with 1-bit games in #Lua for the new #playdate console.

    Interests include:

    #writing (used to do corporate copy and ads, now more interested in short fiction/games)
    #gaming
    #vr
    #gamedev (Playdate at the moment, its a great platform for learning!)
    #behavioralscience (was my job, remains an interest)
    #sustainability
    #GamesForChange

    I'm also a father of three, which means I have a handy built-in test/QA department for my game ideas!

    Looking forward to learning, chatting and maybe even collaborating!
