I haven't actually touched it since posting this. Life has been pretty busy lately and what time I have had to do some dev work I have spent working on a pass and play update for Clash Cards. Once that is released I'd like to jump back onto this though, it was fun to work on!

You can pick up all three of my Catalog games on sale as part of Augustravaganza! This is the first time Spirit Trail has gone on sale!

Theres a thread for it in the Playdate Dev discord server, in catalog-general

Clash Cards — Playdate: The Unofficial Website Final Fantasy IX’s Tetra Master - Playdate-ified

Thanks for the writeup! I'm working on a pass-and-play update now and adding a bunch more cards!

Spirit Trail is coming to #playdate catalog 20.05.2025!

Waiting on my catalog submission for Spirit Trail, decided to noodle around with a bubble popping arcade game 🫧 Took me quite a few revisions to get a collision system that works well, but I've landed on a system that I'm happy with and runs great on device!

Yo thats huge! Congrats!

Spent the night redrawing the party select scene. Really happy with how it has turned out and I 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 it is the last sprite work for the game!

Great tip! I use WinDirStat but hadn't thought to use it for this. Wish you posted this before I went through all my audio files individually 😭

Managed to finish the tutorial for Spirit Trail before starting back at work for the year! The game is super close to being content complete now, just need to redo the party select scene 😵‍

Started working on the tutorial for Spirit Trail today. Really happy with the progress I've made so far setting up the text box and input system for progressing through each step.

It feels like for every item I remove from my ToDo list another 2 take its place.. But Spirit Trail is slowly crawling towards being finished! Everything I've posted of the game so far hasn't had audio, so here's a listen to how the game sounds 🔊
