Just released version 1.0.3 for NeoTrick! This introduces a new scoring system the will produce much smaller numbers. As such, the scoreboards on Catalog had to be reset. Also fixed some reported bugs. Thank you! #playdate

Ironing out details for release. Having the Terms marked as New was a test player request but it leads into one of my pet peeves. The Terms are only unmarked as New when you press a button, not just by scrolling, which I find very annoying when games do. #playdate #indiedev #gamedev

REVIEW: Wild Blue Skies "It blends the best bits of on-rails action and Saturday morning cartoons into something nostalgic without feeling dated. It doesn’t reinvent the arcade shooter, but I do think it nails the landing." @chuhailabs.com checkpointgaming.net/reviews/2026...

Wild Blue Skies Review – Old school, new tricks

Wild Blue Skies reminds us why arcade shooters were so much fun, blending the best bits of on-rails action and Saturday morning cartoons.

I've been working on the progression screen in-between rounds of the card game. And because it's a cyberspace/hacker theme, I went with this wireframe 3d with a pulsing dot that moves between the different stages. #playdate

I'm so very grateful for PeopleMakeGames giving me a platform to speak about the impact the dismissal from Rockstar has had on my family because it has been profound. We miss our dogs more than anything in the world and would do anything to have them both back. Unfortunately that cannot happen.

My engine now has a fully lit forward path consuming the same light clusters deferred path uses. This allows me to setup things like semi-transparent windows and other forward objects that still interact with scene lighting. Volume fog and area GI also came out of the same work.

I can only assume that some of these image models heavily trained on Franco-Belgian comic style. Because so much slop looks like a blend of so many of those comic panels...
