Pixel art, interactive fiction, and games. Making Atlantic ‘41, a U-boat simulation for the Playdate.

New Atlantic ‘41 devlog at last. Going over the various in game reports. Hydrophone contacts, crew and boat status, weather…all in one place.

@exQUIZitely I wanted a Macintosh so bad when it came out in 1984. But that was way out of my league.

@EtherfieldGames @BMW @BMWMotorsport Your pixel cars are amazing! This one is particularly close to my heart because I own a 2017 M3 :)

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@exQUIZitely Definitely Railroad Tycoon!

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@exQUIZitely Without a doubt John Butterfield’s “ Ambush”. Still to this day the best solitaire wargame I’ve ever played. That game create memorable moments.

@RetroCptn Nice! Downloading!

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@RetroCptn @Yugoton2000 Nice!

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@exQUIZitely Exactly the same as you both console and computer :) I kept ny C64.

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@RetroCptn Must have been fun to do that. Making micro compositions.

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@RetroCptn Congratulations!

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@RetroCptn You guys work in Game Maker? I was considering it for my next game:

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@exQUIZitely Such an amazing experience. The music stayed with you long after you were done playing.

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@exQUIZitely It was the game I admired as a developer because it was so technically perfect, but I never really enjoyed playing it. Somehow it never clicked with me. Unlike Bitmap Brothers games like Gods, which I loved playing even though technically it couldn’t hold a candle to Turrican.

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@RetroCptn Need to ship the Playdate first, then I may consider a Steam port. But it would have to be an improved version.

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@RetroCptn Thank you! I won’t get 100k wishlists though, I can tell you that!

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

Go get this one if you love Submarine simulations. Fresh, unique approach and doesn’t require a monster PC.

So... Silent Shark is out NOW - releasing to 20,500 wishlists and great reviews! 🥳 So I guess today I have officially become a game developer, yay! 🥂

@epaga @tenukibozu Congratulations on the launch! I bought the game immediately, as I loved the demo. Big fan of the approach you took on the theme. I’m also working on a little WW2 submarine game for the Playdate. Now of course my productivity will take a nose dive because of Silent Shark!

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@EtherfieldGames No idea but it’s amazing.

[StephanRewind @RewindStephan]

@RetroCptn A little too much old school but thank you. 😊 You have the right idea though. Good tools make better games.
