Last year I was in the middle of a busy Balloon season when the Pulp Switcher came out. I'd been thinking of running a jam already - then the name 'Ware-wolf' hit I was just like.. 'ah hell. We have to do this now' 3 awards nominations later including GOTY and I'm very glad we did!

Ledbetter Games usually takes part in these sales soooo.. look forward to it!

Day 18: Nominees for The Cranky Award @rae.wtf @lukesanderson.bsky.social @indiana-jonas.com #Playdate

There are a LOT of really cool titles coming out to the Playdate and I'm excited for them

Day 16: Nominees for Best Continued Support @rae.wtf @ymgs.gg @scizzorz.com @loudo.lugludum.com #Playdate

this is how giraffes work right? @play.date

LOVE and HATE releases today for Playdate Catalog! Check it out if you like action games, gothic aesthetics, and bangin’ tunes. @wolfcash.bsky.social #playdate

I know this seems insane to setup. Pulp is extremely fun to use and develop for, but it's just as fun to put in the work for some crazy system and see it performing as desired.. usually outside the scope of the engine itself.

Day 15: Nominees for Best Launch Experience @com.y-a-c-h-t.com @telefantasytv.bsky.social @mierau.me @blippo.plus @stoff.bsky.social @juliebjornskov.bsky.social @bjornskov.bsky.social @rae.wtf #Playdate

What do you mean you'd already guessed that those screenshots lately were from a Post Hero sequel? They could have been from anything! #playdate

Another great category and again honored to see Ware-wolf nominated! We certainly had perhaps the Most visual achievement in a pulp game with 15 different styles from as many devs teams. Again the game is free. Just go grab it!

That's a big one for me. We put together Ware-wolf Campfire Stories with 14 other devs as a jam/Collab this past October and it's up for FREE for everyone to check out. Honored for the nomination and for everyone's work to be acknowledged 🤩

Hello Playdate enjoyers 👋 A fresh crop of Catalog games have dropped. So! Sit back, relax, dig in, and rejoice in what these amazing indie developers have .....developed 😜 👾 play.date/games

As I've been testing my game Sound Mind (which is 2-player hide and seek/keep-away), I'm noticing that I've inadvertently made like 80% of an adventure game engine. Wondering if there'd be any interest in a *short* prequel adventure, or if it'd just feel like asset reuse?

it's quite a good tote

More tinkering with Pulp today! 🍋 Template game is running smoothly already, now implementing the remaining PulpScript functions in JS... #Playdate #Gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday

Trains! (and menu system logic) StarBento! #playdate #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #trains

Big ups to Blippo+ for being the wildest thing I experienced last year - and now getting rightful recognition!

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

First Playdate Unofficial of the new year? It's Mad City, a game from 2022 about how bad it is to drive in a city. www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/mad-city

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

Mousegun is a fantastic action game with procedural elements for the Playdate. It's finally up on Catalog. Go get it!

Poignant and wonderful little story with daily elements. Subdivision is finally out on Catalog!

Just added a bunch of new YouTube shorts to the PD Arcade Playlist. These are some of my favorite games on the @play.date that can be described in under 3 mins 🤣 Feel free to comment to be featured in the next round of these www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I've played a bit of this and will Absolutely be picking up the full version on Catalog tomorrow

Love to see an update from this absolute incredible looking @play.date game

📡 Planet Blip’s Best Earthlings of 2025! ❤️ We’d like to take a moment to thank some early supporters who took a risk in shouting out our unapologetically experimental independent project. We’re new to this wild world of games and you all made us weirdos feel welcome. Thank you! 🧵

the very kind folks at stripe — our good (corporate) friends who power the financial parts of playdate and playdate catalog — stopped by our office and made a nice little playdate video for us. thank you stripe! onward to 2026!
