For Switchboard Shuffle, I'm using the #playdate synth for the music. It sounds great but my workflow is rough: compose in GarageBand, rewrite everything in Notion (a MIDI editor), experiment with synth settings in Lua to find the right tone, then port to C. Wonder how others handle this.

Thanks! I use a custom editor I wrote in Java called MapMaker. It's inspired by The Games Factory and combines a tilemap and a sprite editor.

The drawing part is definitely not Aseprite, but it gets the job done! It has some useful tools like color replacement, outline tool and dithering on export.

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.

Somehow I managed to finish a rough entry for #FallingBlockJam! It's far from done but it's playable! If you own a Playdate or an Apple Silicon Mac, you can give it a try here: rapcal.itch.io/switchboard-...

Running late for the #FallingBlockJam, but gameplay is finally starting to take shape!

Hi! I've released two games on Playdate Catalog: Kuroobi and Poker Poker Magic. Both definitely draw inspiration from retro mechanics. I'd be happy to help!

My daughter has great ideas for her original characters. I tried to draw a #fanart of Leila, one of her creations.

This month’s artwork for the @uncrankdpd.bsky.social calendar was drawn by me! Caroline and Saki are meeting up outdoor to enjoy some #Playdate games together!

Huge congratulations to Xx_Henry_xX for setting a new world record of 3,213,400 points in Kuroobi for #Playdate! After more than a year, Chromeblast's incredible 3 million points record has finally been beaten!

I finally received the #Playdate Advent Calendar and the 2025 calendar 🥳. It was full of surprises, and being able to open everything at once was fun 🎁

A new update for Poker Poker Magic is out today on Catalog! It adds a whole new Score Attack mode with an online leaderboard! Perfect for score chasers or anyone looking to relax without the risk of being submerged by enemy attacks!

It's time for the Playdate Community Awards 2024! If you enjoyed any of my games, I would really appreciate your vote!

New update for Poker Poker Magic on #Playdate! 🎉

The CPU now has a slight delay between moves, making it less aggressive. Difficulty is now closer to how it was in the original release!

It’s also still on sale for the next 24 hours on Catalog!
