Worked on something a bit less visual today: data compression for Zest. It packs the individual bits that make up your frames into bytes, which ends up halving the size of some larger Pulp games I tested this on. Try it in the bundler yourself: zest.cool 🍋 #Playdate #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

Got to see a real Strandbeest on the beach last week!

Play For Peace, a charity drive with all proceeds going to humanitarian aid in Gaza, just launched! itch.io/b/2979/play-... We’re proud to include Voidblazers in this bundle—because while Jyn and Echo’s story is fiction, the systems they fight are not. End oppression. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸❤️‍🩹

TLS connections can be a bit slow on Playdate, so I'm trying out a (2-tier!) cache mechanism for my Gopher/Gemini browser 🤓 #ScreenshotSaturday
