Today, after many years of keeping Playdate a secret only we at Panic knew about, noodled on, tinkered with, were jazzed for, honed, and shaped into something hopefully cool, we get to open the doors and share it with the world. I think it’s cool and you’ll think it’s cool 🙂

@User83837348483 What would you expect to be different about it to make it a Playdate Lite?

[Neven Mrgan @mrgan]

Guess what! I’ve been working on a handheld gaming console! @playdate is cute and great—read about it at https://t.co/Xvj98FoR8j

I quit Twitter functionally a while ago, but I've been occasionally checking in to RT things. Starting today, I'll be gone permanently. You can find me at 🐘https://t.co/JLQpe6Lb7z

@djf1107 @legobutts She is!

@FatNoseGaming Huh. It's not just on the launcher? Or in the Menu?

[Neven Mrgan @mrgan]

@FatNoseGaming Ah, I see! Can you set it in Settings > Time? Switch from automatically to manually.

🎣🖼️🐶📋 Fish for art—and justice—in Reel Steal. Help a tiny dog make big connections in Recommendation Dog!! How @SweetBabyInc & @StrangeScaffold paired industry veterans with a diverse crew of first-time devs to ship two great games in just six months! https://t.co/M26ykqrNw8

Gravity Express feels soooo satisfying on Playdate, just a really good flow state.

[Nino van Hooff @NHooff]

Gravity Express is now available on Catalog! Go grab it directly from your favourite handheld or https://t.co/1NsB12XzQs

@matasar Yeah, and I can see things like copilot working out too. But I spend my days in UI land (and not in a way Midjourney and such help out with much)

[Neven Mrgan @mrgan]

@matasar I expect that this will be the rest of the fucking owl, since it’s unlikely to happen just by throwing a lot of data into the grinder, and deep feature integration is barely present in any software today. We get shallow scripting if anything.

🥲After more than 4 years of loved poured into this little passion project and thx to the help of my friends at WayForward, I can officially say that... LUNARK is OUT!

If you own a Playdate, we hope you've had a moment to enjoy Reel Steel & Recommendation Dog!

These games were brought to you by two teams of up-and-coming devs from marginalized backgrounds, led by the folks at @SweetBabyInc and @StrangeScaffold.

Available for free on Catalog!

[Neven Mrgan @mrgan]

@adamkoford IT ALSO MADE FOR
WEIRD ALIGNMENT

[Neven Mrgan @mrgan]

@ZenSaturnZ @playdate @panic @asirawr A number of games in Catalog were originally available on Itch, and still are 🙂

🔧 How do you pay homage to the things you love, instead of just rehashing them? Designer/Developer @shauninman and Composer/Sound Designer @8bitmatt talk about drawing inspiration while creating something new, with their award-winning game, Ratcheteer! https://t.co/sh56YsFPiC

@BBCSounds Hello! Do you know why the Eugene Onegin programme had disappeared? I was enjoying the first four episodes, but now they're all simply gone 🙂

[Neven Mrgan @mrgan]

@jennatar Yeah we love it! It’s dirt-cheap, looks good, and Roku is basically its sole OS. There’s no other software on it.

[Neven Mrgan @mrgan]

@jennatar About ten times a week, we ask our Roku TV where the remote is. Essential!!
