Follow-up joke in Bedbeard's Revenge. "A flyer says next weekend's service will feature Cool Ranch communion wafers.". #playdate

This is my favorite joke in Post Hero. We were driving through a very small town once that had more churches than I felt the population could reasonably support, and I wondered how they competed to attract congregants. Eucharist dipping sauce options, obviously. #playdate

The walk from work to home. #playdate

Bedbeard's Revenge is officially playable start to finish. #playdate

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

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
