Yours isn't the only adventure that can come to an untimely end! We've packed Lolife with small details and secrets to discover #playdate #indiegame

After waffling for like 2 years, I finally put in an order for a #PlayDate. I realized I probably won't see another console in my lifetime that's in reach for me personally to develop for. @playdate

Sometimes I use my computer to access my other computers

It might not sound like the sort of game a friendly raven like Blanche would play, but Spite & Malice is one of her favorites!

A simple game of stacking cards, familiar to players of solitaire classics like Klondike. See how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzXA0GwqMoc

You can learn new yoyo techniques from the ancient scrolls.

This thread is a mixed bag of @playdate news:

The price of the console is going up in future but you can buy refurbished hardware for a discounted price or grab a console NOW at the existing price

I like my Playdate. It's a very fun handheld console to use and I really admire that @panic ventured into that space.

I sold off a bunch of older games and am considering what to use the proceeds for. Obviously I'm not going to do something responsible with it. Deciding between:

#GameBoyLight: Always wanted one. I actually use my GBC next to a lamp all the time, so I would actually use this; not just some weird display thing!

#3DS or #3DSXL: The kids have beat up the 2DS to the point of gore, so this would replace it (for me, not them--they can keep the toot-DS as they call it)

#PlayDate: I'm probably the audience for this; the games on it are my kind of thing, no backlight is a selling point, and flipping through the dev docs, this looks like a great platform to work with. I'm hesitant due to the price and the seeming fragility of the hardware though. There's also probably more productive dev-related stuff I could be doing. (I set up the SDK and simulator months ago but haven't really touched it since). It's also cute but pricey.

Shout out to Ratcheteer! On the Playdate, Zelda-like dungeon crawlers aren’t common, so I’m glad to finally check out this gem from the Season 1 pack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSEJ1MGSTWE

Panic is selling refurbished playdates now, I wonder if I could pay them to just fix the screen on mine. I need to look into it later when I have time.

There is always more than one way to make progress in Lolife. Want to get in this castle? Show the guard some documentation, find a way to crank open the portcullis, or simply break down the gate. Or you could give up on the main entrance entirely and look for another way in! #playdate #indiegame

happy to announce that mission lunatrix took home the gold in playjam 7! thanks everyone who played and ranked it — super tough competition this time! if you've not tried it on your #playdate yet, yooouu should (it's free!): stuffbyrae.itch.io/mission-luna... currently making it even better!

What is a retro open world? In Lolife there are no waypoints or quest markers and the world is fully explorable from the very start, but various obstacles and enemies will naturally guide the path you choose to take #playdate #indiegame
