You can see why I might want to use the above in this clip. #godot

Oh good, it was an easy fix 😁

(For those that like to know: I just had to set the look-at up-vector to global up instead of the camera's, and also do a look-at when the position changes, not just when the look-at does.)

I like that imagery: In a way, the process is not dissimilar; you take some textures you like, and arrange them in a grid. -- Here I am, quilting in code.

An interesting point is, I think; how much do you work on making the editor your own to speed up other processes versus ... 'actually' working on the game?

The above is the result of rolling my own in-editor tooling via the 'tool' modifier in #godot -- I should make a point to actually run the the actual game at least occasionally though, because I think it now crashes when I do ... 😅

P.S. Ah, I almost forgot to mention that I wrote a small part of the code for the achievement library that makes this possible!

github.com/PlaydateSqua...

(Done on my personal account, 'bremco' -- Spelbaar doesn't really have a separate github account yet...)

... but it's just neat to see a community-driven project like this!

It showcases what an open platform like the Playdate can bring to gamedev.

Lastly, I know achievements aren't everyone's cup of tea -- I've seen some argue that it can reduce part of the experience and immersion.

While I don't agree fully, it's easy to see where they're coming from.

For more information, the Trophy Viewer app, as well as games by other devs that support this system, visit:

Note that a fair amount of those other devs' games will also be on sale!

This time we swapped out GMTK for Ludum Dare (my original stomping grounds) -- very 'full circle' for the 10 year thing.

It's a hybrid card-game / 'dig for treasure' type deal. Perfectly cromulent and a good one to end 10 years on.

The misspelling in the title isn't my fault for a change ;-)

If I ever make another full Playdate game (the first was 'Dolphin Splash!'), I might base it off of 'I forgot the level!' -- which is itself partly based on one of my TriJam games I posted in an earlier thread!

I Forgot The Level! (2024): Inspired by one of my earlier TriJam games: Control a series of sticks with the crank, and freeze them in place to go ever further to the right. (Or yeet yourself off of the platform. That's also fun.)

The Art Of Clocktower Maintenance (2023): A puzzle game where you place gears and belts, so you can rotate the crank and ring a bell at 12:00 (the crank also controls time somehow).

Also, that last one; definitely not done within a day! I spend quite a few hours poring over spreadsheets to get the balance just right. -- I just had to post it even though not a jam game since, dangit, I think it deserves better ;-)

Hextrade (2023): Smuggling a little bit, since this wasn't a gamejame game. Anyway, have this hex-grid trader game that I made for my siblings' birthday as a bonus-post in this thread!
