You better watch out, you better not cry etc etc. It's still too early for all this but we've been working behind the scenes to bring the third LTS game to Steam in 2026. Life's Too Short: A Christmas Spirit store page coming soon! #indiegamedeveloper #gamedev

Currently travelling but I just submitted the launch build for LTS: On Reflection! This game is mega short as it was originally for a game jam but I think it's nice & @thantropy.bsky.social did such a mega job on sprites. Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/4962550/... #indiegamedeveloper

I thiiiink that's all the main content added to Deja Vu PD. This process of playing the original and copying in the text is crazy tedious but it's nearly there. There's still a few functions to add, lots of testing etc but it's getting there. Wishlist: play.date/games/deja-vu/ #indiegamedeveloper

Updated some of the tiles and edited some others. Think this looks better! This game is mega straightforward as it's 6 levels to a tower which are all similar but the sprites that @thantropy.bsky.social is working on will make the real difference! #indiegamedeveloper

Super early days but whilst I wait for Steam to approve Life's Too Short, I've started sketching out Life's Too Short: On Reflection remake. This is a much smaller game but now we have the engine from the first, it should be very fast progress to put the next games together :) #indiegamedeveloper

Sitting here playing the original Deja Vu, watching a NES walkthrough whilst I program in content for the @play.date remake. It's a long tedious process but this is (I think) the last area. Then more testing and tedium but we're getting close! Wishlist: play.date/games/deja-vu/ #indiegamedeveloper

If you are one of those people who wasn’t sure, whether to get a #playdate or not. Not only has it amazing games and Season 3 is just around corner, but you will have a Game Boy emulation experience like nowhere else. #gameboy #retrogaming #crankboy #dmg
