haven't posted in a while but i'm working on another thing for the playdate

new mathematical formula just dropped

i will not be taking any further questions at this time

Very excited to share that Big Hops' first public demo will be at Day of the Devs' pre-GDC event at the Midway on March 16th! Most of our team will be around for GDC, so get in touch if you're interested in doing an interview or playing the demo.

Trackminia is available now, only on the Playdate! play.date/games/trackm... www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NAt...

releasing on january 28th!

This is so cool that I had to try it on my CRT monitor! I shrunk the glow a bit so that the edges of the Pico-8 border wouldn’t cut it off and look a bit ugly. First image is in full screen, second is 1x size.

trying another #playdate idea: guy with a candle/lantern quite noisy, but it has soft shadows with correct penumbra behavior, and runs at a stable 30fps on the device!

regular people: agile is an adjective corporate people: Agile is a noun the scrum website's blog:

trying out video-upload since apparently it works now! here's my (almost finished) racing game "Trackminia" for the Playdate handheld console the game usually relies on heavy dithering (Playdate has a 1-bit screen with high DPI), this is using a greyscale exporter that i made for trailer purposes

lol i wanted to post some old tweetjams, but i guess i need to wait for some more features (either gifs/videos or URL-shortening for p8-edu links)
