No waterbeds or oversized fish tanks, either. #playdate

If you played Backbeat and thought it was too hard, there's an update out today that relaxes the timing requirements, and fixes an issue that could make the first note trickier than it needed to be. #playdate play.date/games/backbe...

This is for everyone who was mad at me about the shards of broken glass in The Whiteout. #playdate

These two are all over the place in Bedbeard's Revenge, complaining about all sorts of things. After the main story is over, they'll have some insightful critiques. #playdate

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

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

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

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

Scenic Route Software @scenicroutesoftware.com · 17/04/2026

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.

Scenic Route Software @scenicroutesoftware.com · 06/04/2026

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

Scenic Route Software @scenicroutesoftware.com · 05/04/2026

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

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 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

For no reason other than "well, why not?" you can zoom in and draw on the whiteboard in this office, and whatever you draw is then transformed and overlaid on the in-world whiteboard. (You would not be surprised to learn what my teenage son drew when I showed this to him.) #playdate #pixelart

Two screen shots from an upcoming, untitled game for the Playdate.

The top screenshot is of an office whiteboard mini game with "HI" written in block letters by the player. The second is an office setting with the whiteboard on the back wall, with what the player drew on the whiteboard mini game transformed to its smaller dimensions.

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

Six character portraits for an upcoming, untitled Playdate game. A gentleman in a military cap wearing a monocle, a smarmy business type, an exasperated woman, a little boy with a grimace, a blonde woman and definitely not John Belushi as Joliet Jake.
