Been super-hard at work making For Home! It's a big space RPG narrative for Playdate that I'm so excited to share with everyone when it releases!
We've got Echoes of the Emergent coming this Spring too!
For Home is an expansive first-person narrative RPG unlike anything else on Playdate. 🪐

We recently went hard mode on our @playdate game ☄️Comet!
A massive visual overhaul, squeezing every drop out of LDtk, and rebuilding our drawing pipeline unlocked all the ideas we wanted to put on screen.

Naval battle in a night storm. And a long overdue devlog update about U-boat deck guns.

Out now on Playdate Catalog: RowBot Rally, a robots+bunnies rowboat racer that's crank-happy and heavy on juice. Go ace that Fish Bowl, champ!

A fun emergent part of the @playdate awards last year was all of the "For Your Consideration" posts Playdate Devs created.
So I thought I'd get the ball rolling this year with ours for ☄️Comet.
I'll be adding any other FYC posts to this 🧵
A fun part of the @playdate community awards this year, has been a bunch of devs making campaign images.
So I thought I'd make a little thread of them here 🧵
(I'll do my best to credit where I can and add to this over time.

Really happy to see that my game Echoes of the Emergent has now hit over 1000 sales! I'm grateful that the Playdate community continues to support games and developers so well. It's a fantastic little community.

A huge motivation for making Zero Zero: Perfect Stop was crafting the soundscape. A big part of that is the in-car announcements.
I had the pleasure of working with @TheDonnaBurke for the English lines. You may recognize her voice from the Shinkansen, or from MGS5!
Sound on! 🔊
Echoes of the Emergent resonating with people so much has really put me at ease. Thought Bloom might just be a fluke and we got really lucky. So so relieved that's not the case.
Thank you, everyone, for playing these games.

Echoes of the Emergent's OST is now available on Spotify! Should be out or on its way to most other major music platforms, too!
Which song is your favorite?

"all it took was a glimpse of Echoes of the Emergent’s gritty aesthetic and melancholic atmosphere to get me to preorder it. And now that I’ve finally gotten around to playing (reading? experiencing?) it, I’m kind of blown away." @engadget

"Playdate is only getting better with age. It's a little yellow inspiration machine; it’s a physical reset button for the entire industry. Actually, I guess it's a reset crank."
