Orange ThiefThanks to Dark N Stormy games for sending us this new style #Playdate box with a screenshot from Resonant Tale on the back! It's incredibly cool to see this in person.

NyctoI was unhappy with the movement of enemies in my #playdate #towerdefense game. I was using a flow field that made them hug the walls, which then led to jitter. I switched to a zone based system. I split the map into regions, then path find to the midpoint between zones. #indiedev

Something I wanted to do for a while: using the accelerometer to add an effect when tilting the playdate. It's not my first try to get it right, I struggled with the maths, but today's implementation pleases me!
It's only used in the menu so it won't distract during the levels (they are hard enough 😇)
Adams ImmersiveMy Playtime collection of 50 weird alarm clocks for #Playdate has been out for nearly 3 years. I think it’s time for a price drop! 40% off.
DON’T HURRY! This is not a limited time sale! The price is now $3.
Some old & some new: a freshly brewed mix of Crank Collective updates, Crank & Tell, a new Palette story, Uncrank’d Live, #playdate community projects, laser engraving, & more.

Bad DiodeA bit of progress. I think the sample loader is mostly done for now. Now it handles errors correctly and loads samples in chunks to avoid hanging the UI for long samples, displaying a % indicator as it goes. This is quite important on device, as there it can take a lot longer to load larger samples.
Should probably set a smaller limit on the sample size for this (at the moment 8MB of F32 mono sample data).
