I designed this scene this way just to make a Star Wars joke, but now I really want to make a whole sci-fi adventure game. #playdate

And very dumb mini games like "Don't run over the electric mower's extension cord", inspired by a very dumb real life event. #playdate

Sometimes, when you feel like you aren't making a lot of progress, its nice to compile everything you've done so far to remind yourself that you've actually done a ton of work. #playdate #pixelart

If you’re gonna go to all the trouble of grinding your own beans, make sure you do a careful pour-over. #playdate

You gotta grind your own coffee beans. #playdate

The mini games in Bedbeard's Revenge aren't just other video games, they are also very dumb things like this. #playdate

Surprise! Dig! Dig! Dino! the game @dom2d.bsky.social and I made for playdate is coming to PC soon! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/4642320/...

Speaking of maps, here’s the actual grid paper map with scene identifiers that I reference all the time while working on the game. #playdate

Here's an example of the state stuff I mentioned in this thread. The whole world is keyed on state, and I have debug methods that force the game into another state for testing. For example, this is the playground before the mailman loses his job, and after. #playdate

Bedbeard’s Revenge takes a snapshot of wherever you happen to be when it saves, and uses that as the background image for the main menu for a nice transition back into the game. #playdate

The inclusion of other video games in this video game is getting a little silly, honestly. #playdate.

In Post Hero 2, double tapping a d-pad button makes the mailman auto-walk in that direction, and very quickly. This is in no way related to negative feedback I may have received about a different game. #playdate

Here's a bunch more, including Bedbeard himself. At this point I think I've drawn more stuff for this one than the original game and The Whiteout combined. #playdate #pixelart

They're not going anywhere until their demands are met, so meet their demands or they're just going to come up with more demands! #playdate

Devils on the Moon Pinball is out!!!! What a time to be alive!! get it here: play.date/games/devils... Only on @play.date #pinball #indiegames #pixelart #playdate

Henry can't catch the bus in this game, either. #playdate

now that the PDCAs are wrapped i can show off - isolates a slow math arcade game.. &.. more? stay tuned. cool stuff happening with this one

During the @play.date Community Awards, we just announced that Deja Vu PD is coming to the Playdate this year! We're developing the game in Lua, reimagining the point-and-click adventure from the ground up. More news soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s5e... #indiegamedeveloper #gamedev

Do you think a robot peeing on things is funny? Have I got a game for you. #playdate

If you haven't played Post Hero, this is a good opportunity to pick it up for half off to prepare yourself for Bedbeard's Revenge later this year. (The rest of my goofy games are half off, too.) #playdate

He likes to play. #playdate

Lousy sense of direction? Pick up a handy map from the Circle J! #playdate

Is there a reason to have the mailman's reflection in the mirror inside the barber shop? No. Is it an accurate reflection? Also no. #playdate

The Crow's Nest is under new management. Still no top-shelf liquor, though. #playdate

Our 3rd Catalog Anniversary Sale is right around the corner 👀🎂 200+ games will be on sale starting at 10 AM PST on March 5th ⚡

I wrote this as a *joke* in the Bedbeard's Revenge pitch deck for Playdate Season Two a couple of years ago.

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

There is also a whole other place in the video game that has video games that you can play. #playdate

This is where you'll find the previously mentioned video game in the video game, by the way. #playdate

Not that anyone asked, but I'm procrastinating so here's a "how does it work?" thread ... #playdate

In case you thought this one took place entirely indoors, I wanted you to know that there are a lot of outside parts, too. #playdate

The neat thing about making video games is that when you're stuck on your video game's story you can just add other video games to your video game and you're still technically making progress. #playdate

For no reason other than "well, why not?" you can zoom in and draw on the whiteboard in this office, and whatever you draw is then transformed and overlaid on the in-world whiteboard. (You would not be surprised to learn what my teenage son drew when I showed this to him.) #playdate #pixelart

He's going to offer you a deal that you probably shouldn't turn down. #playdate #pixelart

Here's a few more. They are: The Admiral, Marcus, Brenda (who's had about enough of Marcus's bullshit), Sick Kid that shouldn't have eaten those deviled eggs, the lady that made the deviled eggs, and Jake. #playdate #pixelart

I've been having a lot of fun with character portraits for a new thing. Here's a few of my favorites. #playdate #pixelart

① Four Corners: Square Off is a sequal! Your mission is the same: make rectangles. Only this time, you'll have to fill your square counter before SAM-Y from Shift does! ⬜ play.date/games/four-...

I made a sequel to Four Corners - and its out today! #playdate play.date/games/four-c...

The Fog & Burlap Coffee Co. #playdate #pixelart

Can’t believe @play.date was so gracious as to help us host this collection to celebrate Episode 100. Best community in gaming 🥹🩵 Thank you Panic, Playdate and Arisa! play.date/games/hello-...

Raised and recessed the gray tiles so they stand out more and give the grid more texture, tweaked the counter view design, gave SAM-Y a thicker border and reinstalled the logic board a bit more expertly. #playdate

SAM-Y Pro Max Plus is an exceptional opponent thanks to the expertly installed Dynamo Defense Systems L19 logic board upgrade. #playdate

Added a parallax layer to make things feel less static, and it speeds up briefly when you or SAM-Y make a clear above a certain size. #playdate

3️⃣ OUT TODAY: Playdate system update 3.0. Now with Folders, and a new Game Library app. Organize your games, your way. ⬇️ Get it: Playdate > Settings > System > System Update 🔡 Read more about it: help.play.date/manual/3.0/

My daughter sent me this doodle she made of me while taking notes (being bored?) in class. Coffee and a #Playdate - pretty spot on.

This was just supposed to be a video of SAM-Y getting mad about having tiles stolen, but it turned into a video of SAM-Y doing the same thing to me but four times worse. #playdate

I'm curious if folks that were put off by the time pressure in the original game will feel more at home here. This is way more of a strategy game, though SAM-Y still manages to out-strategize me most of the time. #playdate
