Above the Rubble makes you to go through a list of people killed in Gaza since October 7th, 2023. One revolution of a crank on Playdate, one person. mouflon-cloud.itch.io/above-the-ru... I’ll share a bit dev-loggy info about it here in the thread 🧵

Short snippet from what I was working on this afternoon. #playdate

hey boss, is that a feature? [red colors don't reflect the playdate device lol] #playdate #solodev #indiegame #gamedev

@pentadact.com Hey Tom! Big fan - I'm turning your Gridcannon concept into a Playdate game! #gamedev #playdate #pixelart #1bit #indiegame #indiedev

Hey there! we're making a pinball game called Devils on the Moon.

Nuns After Midnight

I'm going to present my current Playdate-project next Monday at @indietreff.bsky.social in Hamburg. It's called 🛡️G l o o m G a t e⚔️ and it's an action RPG with reaction based fights, a node based overworld, Souls-Like elements and still looooots of missing features. But I'm getting there😅

@plante.bsky.social great episode this week. I especially appreciated you pulling together all of the interview quotes from Kojima and bringing them together to tell a story.

Excited to release a demo of Owlet's Embrace! If you own a Playdate, download it over here: strupf.itch.io/owlets-embrace I'm also moving the full release into 2026. This is allows me to realize my full vision of the game - nonlinear world, replayability, multiple bosses, fleshed out narrative!

I try not to have too many recurring subscriptions, but I've been impressed with @plante.bsky.social 's Post Games Podcast. Super interesting interviews & insights I wasn't getting anywhere else. Today's episode tipped me over the edge to becoming a member. patreon.com/PostGames Free to listen!

Finally released v1.5 of my tiny city placement game Hausbau for the #playdate. I added a high score mode and trees!!! It's available for free on itch.io! fenchel.itch.io/hausbau #gamedev

Playing with some of the new tile graphics from @craigstevenson.bsky.social. Still far from the finished look, but coming along nicely. #zyphatron #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

Swapping between (B) to grapple and (B) to attack. The companion's position indicates which mode is active. What initially started as a workaround for the Playdate's constraints became a natural, intentional and smoothly integrated part of the gameplay.

Look at them fonts. Look at them. #FishHeaven #Playdate

okokok so: we’ve got cards. you can pick ‘em. and they do what’s on ‘em, but the best bit is: a little manicule! It picks up and drags those carriages around in an ultra computer-usage-in-a-kids-cartoon kinda way that has no business in an old-timey train game 🚂 #gamedev #playdate #hauler

Our game, Fulcrum Defender, is an arcade game that takes advantage of the Playdate's crank. Hold back wave after wave of enemies as you gain new skills and try to last as long as possible! -- I'm also excited to share the great tracks made for the game by @cherof.com!

Ooooh this sounds like just the thing for me. I believe Polygon had something like this for its biggest features for a while and I loved it. I’ll check this out!

Now we're shipping! Nine unique carriages flying down the tracks in the middle of the nonspecific desert 🏜️ The geometry and that one photobombing cactus could use a bit of tweaking, but it's running #hauler #playdate #gamedev

Fun fact, the TRMNL has a screen that is exactly 2x the resolution of the #Playdate!

"On its surface, Isles of Sea and Sky begins as a simple block pusher, but as it quickly unfurls, deeper mechanics, lore, secrets, and layers of gameplay are revealed. Dive in and explore the mysterious depths of this beautiful, nostalgic, oceanic adventure." store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/...

Wow, at first glance I honestly thought those were captures from A Link to the Past put through some kind of filter. Beautiful work.

The playdate is in its golden age.

This is insane...This team is redefining the bar for @play.date games. Can't wait!

Damn, this is gorgeous! I can't so fucking wait.

Captured some new glamor shots for ☄Comet's Catalog page.

You sold me -- I don't even have a device yet, but I just bought one after seeing this. I'd heard about the Playdate before, but I wasn't in the market for one until recently, & I like the sound of what it offers. Anyway, this looks like lots of fun! Best of luck with the development.

Fantistic DevLog article. Thanks for sharing. I wish more game devs put out content like this! It reminds me of the Early 2010’s when the Indie Game Scene felt really alive. Your game makes me want to buy a Play Date!

We recently went hard mode on our @play.date game ☄️Comet! A massive visual overhaul, squeezing every drop out of LDtk, and rebuilding our drawing pipeline unlocked all the ideas we wanted to put on screen. Check out our devlog: guv-bubbs.itch.io/comet/devlog... #Playdate

I keep forgetting that Bluesky has sketchy Gif support so my last few posts have been bland. Lets fix that. New ☄Comet vid!

New ☄Comet Devlog coming tomorrow! #playdate

Hey hey! 👋 My friend @xmenekai.bsky.social, who you might know from his amazing work on Comet, has been cooking up a game of his own on the side for the #playdate. Cult of the Full Moon! A clever, card-based survival game inspired by Rogue Cards & Look, Your Loot! 🧵🔽

I've just uploaded Ultimate Fangirl for the Playdate to Itch. digikerot.itch.io/ultimate-fan...

I started playing Cave Story tonight & it’s making me feel wholly incompetent as a game designer ha ha 😅 I just finished the grasslands & it’s already impressing me. I recommended a younger coworker play it. Then saw that there was a vita port so I wanted to see if it held up.

Received my lovely @play.date Community Awards trophies, handcrafted by the talented Paul Straw!

Season Two will realize the dream of everyone following along weekly as games get released—like a TV show we're all speculating on and discussing. It's gonna be great! 💛

After much thinking, I’ve decided to scrap Atlantic ’41. I can’t in good conscience make a war simulation on @playdate A light hearted action mini game is a better fit. However it’s still about submarines, and it's coming soon! Here’s a sneak peek. @panic.com @play.date
