Hi, I’m Case! 👋 I’m a sound designer who loves crafting sounds from scratch. Recording, tweaking, experimenting and getting my hands dirty. No dang AI generation here! While the digital world gets more “tokens this” and “credits that”, I’m happy keeping things old-school. 💜

Peedee ICF-390 launches on Catalog tomorrow! Be transported as you crank through random radio stations from around the world. Unique to the Catalog release is a sleep timer! #playdate #indiedev #solodev

As a programmer, I am intimately familiar with my own code until the moment my PR/MR is approved, at which point the code could be an Enigma encryption for all I know.

Went to a local pub in a small village the other day. Noticeboard of posters for local fete, community events. All AI slop. I hope people wake up to how awful it all is.

Price of cocoa is through the roof, so all the innovation is going into getting people to pay for things with less of it in, like a white choc version, or salted caramel.

I've stopped playing the #Playdate , but the #Peedee #radio app mamota-games.itch.io/peedee-icf-390 has brought it back into my life. I turn it on while cooking, when the environment is loud enough that high fidelity doesn't matter and high frequencies are desirable, and discover quirky […]

Making a game for the Playdate knowing the sales data will be anecdotal at best is really liberating. After many years of making games for companies, following market trends, and making what I was asked to make instead of what I wanted to do... now I have total freedom. And it feels wonderful ❤️

Peedee ICF-390 only lets you scan through (internet) radio stations at random (it has 5 presets to save things you've found), no search or filtering. Enjoy listening with serendipeedee!

I wanted to evoke the feeling of scanning through analogue, long-wave radio way back before the internet existed.You would scan through getting all sorts of random stations in different languages, particularly in continental Europe.

I have no idea how to pull it off, but might be worth trying to stabilise the dithering between frames so that there’s less flicker. Lukas Pope did this for Obra Dinn and did an amazing write up forums.tigsource.com/index.php?to...
