Progress on my @play.date game: Cranky Miner. I added backgrounds, screen transitions and a nice upgrade screen! To do this all I had to do some sprite optimizations so the game should run better too. As a bonus I added rare items to find! #gamedev #indiedev #playdate #playdatedev

#justbeatit The Keyper Simplistic game where you’re looking for keys and doing fetch quests in a very nonsensical labyrinthian building with a lot of backrooms. Very hard to navigate but has quite a lot of story to tell. Wouldn’t have beaten it without a walkthrough. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Update of my #playdate game! Today I added an animated title card, a wrapping paper (you have to unwrap the game after download) and an icon. There's combos in the game now, which makes scoring interesting! I uploaded this version to the catalog for review! Fingers crossed. #indiegame #gamedev

#justbeatit Maze Mice Combination of Pacman and a survivors-like. Insanely grind heavy game but because there's a little skill involved it was a fun time-waster for me. Took me 13h to finally unlock and beat the 4th maze. There's many more achievement, but I'm good. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Gold Miner It's the main inspiration for my game. An old flash game which I didn't play for at least 12y. I figured let's check it out and idk why it's popular because it's almost impossible to Game Over and therefor very boring. Looped it and called it a #justbeatit. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

More progress on my @play.date game. Dynamic music, menu sounds, more juice with particles and numbers which go up. Who doesn't like those? All logic for the upgrade system is in place, now I need to implement it. My first game ever is getting somewhere! #indiedev #gamedev #playdate

Palmer Luckey's retro gaming company uses the same components for its gaming products as it does its Trump-backed Anduril war profiteering. LCD panels, FPGA circuit boards. he's making these whitewashing toys because they're a rounding error for bulk drone parts purchases. avoid ModRetro.

#justbeatit LOK Digital Very clever word puzzle game. I was afraid it was a word search game, but you only have to find 5 letter combinations of 4 characters max. Letter combinations have a power to clear puzzles. Can't wait to play the paper games from the creator. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

Gutting a historic studio that has arguably one of the best most scalable engines in the industry has got to be the most Australopithecus brained decisions in gaming. Unreal runs like garbage by comparison, plus they're going to have to pay more for licencing as well... you couldn't make it up.

#justbeatit Hotshot Racing Great arcade racer with a great untextured polygon art. Sega arcade vibes, but honestly the drift focus is more like Mario Kart without weapons. My only complaint is that the opponents are super aggressive. Lots to unlock if you’re into that. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
