Damn. Spotify is a gift that keeps on giving…

As usual, peak quality in both form and content from that gentleman.

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

Finished it today. Loved it, especially the ending. I wish there were more games like this.

Look at what I just found. I’ll take it as a good omen for your game. (I swear I didn’t kill it. I suspect my cat is the murderer.)

Can’t wait. I hope I don’t die before tomorrow. That would be the irony.

More excited by this than GTA6.

Sorry I forgot to name it in the devlog. Thankfully someone fixed my mistake here. It’s DITHERTONE PRO.

Even the title is brilliant. Wish you “Untitled Goose Game” level of success.

Yes.

It wasn’t planned but I found my last egg in Billy Basso’s Animal Well on Easter. This game is a monumental achievement. Will stay with me forever.

StephanRewind @stephanrewind.bsky.social · Apr 17

I hope there’s a new game behind this. Or any new game from you :)

After much thinking, I’ve decided to scrap Atlantic ’41. I can’t in good conscience make a war simulation on @playdate
A light hearted action mini game is a better fit. However it’s still about submarines, and it's coming soon! Here’s a sneak peek. @panic.com @play.date
