Here's a look at the different stages of creating the #1bit title screen artwork for Switchboard Shuffle, my #FallingBlockJam entry. I am unable to draw the same face twice so I had to iterate to make sure the art was consistent with the operator's look.

The Leap technology is the crown jewel of the Ruhetek, enabling FTL travel within the whole Milky Way.

Load a pattern or create your own, provide a canister of Xenon and get ready to explore the galaxy.

Above the Rubble makes you to go through a list of people killed in Gaza since October 7th, 2023. One revolution of a crank on Playdate, one person.

I’ll share a bit dev-loggy info about it here in the thread 🧵
Above the Rubble by Mouflon Cloud
Each revolution of a crank marks a life violently taken in Gaza.

I'm going to present my current Playdate-project next Monday at @indietreff.bsky.social in Hamburg.

It's called

🛡️G l o o m G a t e⚔️

and it's an action RPG with reaction based fights, a node based overworld, Souls-Like elements and still looooots of missing features. But I'm getting there😅

@plante.bsky.social great episode this week.

I especially appreciated you pulling together all of the interview quotes from Kojima and bringing them together to tell a story.

Excited to release a demo of Owlet's Embrace!

If you own a Playdate, download it over here:
strupf.itch.io/owlets-embrace

I'm also moving the full release into 2026. This is allows me to realize my full vision of the game - nonlinear world, replayability, multiple bosses, fleshed out narrative!
