Love to see an update from this absolute incredible looking @play.date game
Hey #PitchYaGame people 👋 Here is my game
🛡️G l o o m G a t e⚔️

We’d like to take a moment to thank some early supporters who took a risk in shouting out our unapologetically experimental independent project. We’re new to this wild world of games and you all made us weirdos feel welcome.
Thank you! 🧵

I love seeing the tabletop get into hands! Please always share pics of products from artists and small creators. It's extremely fulfilling to see 🎁
@ldbrart.bsky.social I lost (embarrassingly and quickly) but it was a lot of fun.

So happy to see the tabletop out in the wild 🙂
Yesterday, we Christmas’d it up with “Santa’s Workshop” (by @hokiestone.bsky.social) and “Animal upon Animal: Christmas Edition”. But also…
“Hall of the Dwarf King” by @ldbrart.bsky.social! I loved sharing a #playdate experience like that. And we did pretty well! (…apart from dying.) #boardGames

Delightful shout-out from @play.date It's so great seeing the Hall of the Dwarf King boxset get out to people (and to make it's way home!)
It entertains and endears us to no end that Ledbetter Games took a Playdate game mockup and made it into a Playdate game, then turned that into a hybrid video/tabletop game 💛

getting really frustrated at it but...👀
this is extra fun compared to my HEXA port, because these are both running off a *shared* codebase — which means theoretically, i have a framework that lets me instantly be able to make games for both #playdate and PC with no extra work aside from set-up
