time to dust off this account:
My tiny playdate puzzle game is out on the #Playdate Catalog 😳
There is also a bunch of new stuff: more tiles, silly German sounding town names, and
play.date/games/hausbau/
(it's still also available on itch)

doing some work with interesting space filling patterns. these take a very long time to settle, but result in these very deliberate feeling, rectilinear puzzle piece buildings. they'd be great with generated streets and some garden rules, for town or city block fill.

Bit lat to the screenshot Saturday party, but I thought I'd share a new item pickup screen that will let you examine the spooky stuff you find in the cheese mines.

Been tinkering with a prototype for a quick little Playdate game. Zap the balls to fill the three batteries to a certain level (not shown), but don't over charge. See how many level you can do in 99 seconds. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

Been working on some ui stuff lately! Thought it would be funny if an old-timey printer actually 'prints' your score (and maybe a few other things)

new title screen idea for my #playdate "job sim" Masterworks. Rumors say that it might even be in a playable state again 😳

Added an intro cutscene for my cheese mining game. 🧀⛏️
Thought it would be nice to introduce your power tool.
You can also pick a name now.
If you skip the signature, the NPCs will just call you "Skip" 😜

Experimenting with lighting to support the atmosphere of being alone in a dark place filled with mysteries and cheese.

With Hausbau finished and released, I’ve finally started wrapping up my other #Playdate project: Masterwork Inc., a game about silly shapes and working a crappy job.

This week was all about UI and menus.
Made a little main menu level to show the vibe of the game.
It took a while to set up the panel flow, but I got there!
Godot's localization solution is an absolute joy to work with!

I want to make a game with big procedural caves and dungeons, but I’m not really sure where to start.
So I’ve started reading textbooks on tectonics and structural geology.

has anyone else issues sideloading #playdate games? Trying to finish up my game update, but for some reason my playdate decided to not download games anymore. not sure if it's related to the new system update. @panic.com
