Got a 3 page feature on Crankstone including an interview in the last cranknockout.bsky.social magazine ! ✨
The entire magazine is a must read and I love my voidblazers sticker! Thanks for being part of it.

Fun to see my little #Playdate game The Scrolling Enigma on HowLongToBeat! Most players finish it in about an hour, but you can unlock all the clues quickly if you want which makes the guessing part easier. Every playthrough works just fine!

Achievements and secret ad
Version 1.6.0 is out! Achievements I've added 4 achievements . Obviously you need to finish the game for most of them because I don't want the toast messages to interfere with the game. My main goal…

Had the pleasure to meet @golosogames.bsky.social and @johndogb.bsky.social at Japan Game Festival in Lyon. We talked a little about Playdate and Game Boy.

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

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.

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?
