Been working on some ui stuff lately! Thought it would be funny if an old-timey printer actually 'prints' your score (and maybe a few other things)

New iteration for the title screen of my new old #Playdate game!
Started it as a jam project over a year ago (my first playdate thing!) before getting distracted by other stuff. It's almost finished, just have to not get distracted by other random ideas 😨 #gamedev

I am not super into pinball, but this looks so cool that I wanna play it 😁

Ware-wolf Campfire Stories by Ledbetter Games A night around the campfire...

Happy Halloween! 🎃

We joined 14 other dev teams to create Ware-wolf Campfire Stories, a compilation of spooky minigames for #Playdate

It’s out now, and it’s free! ledbetter-games.itch.io/ware-wolf

The Playdate is a great indie puzzle machine Stop reaching for your phone.

new title screen idea for my #playdate "job sim" Masterworks. Rumors say that it might even be in a playable state again 😳

Added an intro cutscene for my cheese mining game. 🧀⛏️
Thought it would be nice to introduce your power tool.
You can also pick a name now.
If you skip the signature, the NPCs will just call you "Skip" 😜

Screenshot from a game about mining cheese. The first person perspective view shows an industrial drill held by the player in the foreground. In the mid-ground the player's head lamp illuminates some rubble, a shovel leaning against the mine's wall that has a paper note one it. I the background the mine tunnels stretch into darkness. On the edge of light a cheese wheel is visible sticking out of the wall.

The player's head lamp illuminates a mine tunnel with wooden support beams at the sides of the wall and near the roof. There is a rock pillar in the mid ground and some loose boulders.

Working on levels for my mining game.
Experimenting with lighting to support the atmosphere of being alone in a dark place filled with mysteries and cheese.

With Hausbau finished and released, I’ve finally started wrapping up my other #Playdate project: Masterwork Inc., a game about silly shapes and working a crappy job.

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev

This week was all about UI and menus.
Made a little main menu level to show the vibe of the game.
It took a while to set up the panel flow, but I got there!
Godot's localization solution is an absolute joy to work with!
#gamedev #GodotEngine #godot #indiegames #screenshotsaturday

That's a lot of cool looking games 👀
(And mime is in there too)

time to dust off this account:
My tiny playdate puzzle game is out on the #Playdate Catalog 😳

There is also a bunch of new stuff: more tiles, silly German sounding town names, and

play.date/games/hausbau/

(it's still also available on itch)

#gamedev #indiegame

Happy Birthday Paradise Marsh!
To celebrate, the game is 75% off! That's cheap as dirt!

Working on the mechanics of cheese mining.
Hold and release to crack the rock!
Click at the right time to drill out the cheese nuggets!

Added basic geological strata and a naive attempt at displacement along the fault lines. Probably will experiment with it some more before moving on to cave generation.
#gamedev #raylib

For the visualization I used Raylib (www.raylib.com), a really simple and lightweight library for graphics rendering (among other things), but I had to code it myself 😅

Finally released v1.5 of my tiny city placement game Hausbau for the #playdate. I added a high score mode and trees!!! It's available for free on itch.io! fenchel.itch.io/hausbau
#gamedev

first attempt at creating fault lines originating from points of high strain and propagating along the stress field.
#screenshotsaturday #raylib #gamedev

Generating a random stress fields and experimenting with visualizing strain (based on changes in curvature). Let's see if this leads to somewhere interesting #gamedev #raylib

I want to make a game with big procedural caves and dungeons, but I’m not really sure where to start.
So I’ve started reading textbooks on tectonics and structural geology.
#gamedev

has anyone else issues sideloading #playdate games? Trying to finish up my game update, but for some reason my playdate decided to not download games anymore. not sure if it's related to the new system update. @panic.com

i added depth test (without displacement). the next step is to try this renderer with some sort of infill.

Added some little extras to the 'view mode' - you can now invert colors and watch a tiny replay here as well. With that I think I am mostly done with the update. Already looking forward into hopping into a new project :D
#playdate #gamedev

So ... I have been working on the 1.5 update for my #playdate game "Hausbau". It will feature new tiles, a high score mode and - finally - trees (or at least one tree)!
Will be out soon-ish on my itch.io page.
#gamedev

Since there aren't many #Odin and #Raylib compute shader examples around, I decided to make my learning repo public: github.com/missinglinks...
The code is probably quite messy, as half the time I'm guessing things, but it might still be helpful to others :D

(Final boids count: 40000)

#gamedev

Compute shader hurt my head, but I am not giving up!
20k boids with #odin and #raylib
#gamedev

👀 How may one purchase one of these?

assembling zines

Working on a new game mode for version 1.1 of my tiny #playdate game, Hausbau! :D
There’s still some work left, but it should be ready by the end of the year.

I’m also considering adding an undo feature, though I haven’t decided exactly how it would work yet.

#gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Should probably start posting here as well:
Just released a free playdate game called "Hausbau": a tiny puzzle game, where you create modernist cityscapes. No scores, no timers, just play and listen to some jazzy tunes.
