i just got my freegame keys for cloudburst in β€” they probably expected me to hand this one out, but unfortunately i don't give any FUQS

oh wait, i do actually have something i can share: music!

still very much a beginner when it comes to songs, but i at the very least feel like i can actually get ideas down in a way that kinda sorta represents what's in my head

pesto's an ambitious project, and i'd love to do a full OST for it?

actually a massive shame that these screens
1. look better with the incriminating info inside, trust me,
2. are now so revealing that i can't even show them anymore despite having made 'em way nicer πŸ₯²
just imagine i posted some super juicy menus here i guess

Options menu in a black-and-white video game, with a vertical list of options at a bit of a tilted angle. The played is hovered over "Sound Effects", and has them enabled.

i can't even show this options menu in motion or else it'd give too much away

🌿 have to remove some incriminating graphics, but... title screen for pesto? pretty happy with how i accomplished this scrolling animation (using a lerped number to create what looks like a smooth scroll), and also trying out using the VCR "pause" filter from the SDK for a visual 'nope' effect

just watched hundreds of beavers blind β€” oh my god how did i miss out on this until now. the best way i can describe it is "weaponized comedy". just recurring bits taken to the absolute extreme and it's hilarious the entire time

HEXA for Playdate Board the helm of Starship HEXA, and conquer the universe the only way you know how: shapes.

if you don't have the game, you can pick it up here!: play.date/games/hexa

from september 8th, the base price of the game will be going up, from $7 to $8. i've added a Lot since launch, and i feel like this makes sense to do; but i also wanna give advance notice.

thanks for playing and supporting!

are there any bluesky clients* (web/iOS) that hide follow counts from profiles? i've been getting back into that awful awful twitter habit of obsessing over that type of stuff and i'd like to kick it to the curb if possible
*bluesky's one of those things that has clients right...?
