Week 1 kicked off last week—how are everyone's frogs and gates doing? 🐸🚪 play.date/games/seasons/three

Season buddies!

@play.date Season 3 is off to an amazing start with two very different but equally impressive games - Soggy Froggy and Gloom Gate. I never thought I'd give a frog a bath nor did I think I would play a 1-bit Soulslike, but here we are thanks to the magic of Playdate!

the froggies do be getting soggy tonight

I completely agree with everything Alan says here: the game seems very cool, but I'm bummed about who Jon Blow has become over the years, and it's unfortunate that he's the face of it.

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

I just noticed that the system screen recording tool in macOS 27 finally (finally!) has a "Include System Audio" option!!

The end of the road for Indexing Your Heart

It's with a heavy heart that I announce that, as of today, I am ceasing development of Indexing Your Heart. The reality is that I've been so busy with other things, and I've simply burned out on this ...

still WIP — especially the music, it's more of a metronome right now — but charting, cue timing functions (hit, barely, miss, extra) with specific animation states, and the general flow of a game are all working now. yippee!

I had the honour of working on Wild Blue Skies! It's a Hecking sick game, made by a Hecking small team. Please don't let it get lost in the steam algo 🤘
