Failed discoverability on @itch.io I guess. My games should be there! #gamedev

😢 I always wonder how Playdate games on Itch actually sell. But still waiting for a purchase of my bundle of The Scrolling Enigma 📰 and Crankstone 🤠 at 11$. It's a steal! itch.io/s/166589/hal...

I always forget to send newsletter to subscribers 🤦‍♂️
I need to take the habit to send big update to privileged channels first like newsletter and my own discord. So sorry for the delay.

Do you know any friendly ghost? If so and you participate in the giveaway. Just write his name in capital.

It's live on Catalog now! Enjoy! 🎊👻
Be patient version 1.7.0 (halloween update) is on the way (in the hand of @play.date )

Currently updating the pdAchievements site to add Crankstone. In the last build of the game, I've added 17 achievements, I plan to add more in the future.

AHAH I've captured this video while watching the last Lucas Pope video, we can hear his voice 🤣
J-4 to Halloween👹 I'm relooking all daily levels by adding a halloween vibe in my cowboy #playdate #indiegame 🤠
Again, Pixel Composer is so useful! Still haven't figured out how to use a animated sprite for the particles but looks good enough. Do you like the demon?

Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift

I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well.

If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?

There are 6 fast paced mini games in Crankstone. Here is an insight about the Kinetoscope, a mini game where you turn the crank to play an old 19th century old movie to stop to the target frame. Do you recognize these movies and the music?

I feel like I have an identity disorder with my multiple social media accounts: some for my company @lugludum and others for me which I'm using more. And now I run 2 youtube channels dealing with different topics. And you #solodev, how do you manage that? #communitybuilding

I've started to make shorts on YouTube and Instagram for my company. Nice to get between 1k and 3k views. But weird to have an Indonesian audience. Not even sure the Playdate is shipped there. How to fix that and actually get followers? #communitybuilding youtube.com/@lugludum?si...
