A single architecture Apple Silicon build of Dottie fits on a 3.5" 2HD floppy disk with room to spare as it is only 970 KB compressed (2.2MB uncompressed) double those sizes for the Universal build.
The key: no external frameworks or libs! Which is the same way I kept #YOYOZO so small
All graphics in #aquaplane are created using only shapes (line, rect, circle, polygon) an approach I used in my game #YOYOZO (GOTY 2023, remember?)
So I figured I'd keep on with the synthesised shtick and generate all the sound effects. SFXR! #love2d #indiedev #gamedev #sfxr
✨1-UP!✨ I'm 48 today.
Another loop around the sun completed. A year older & wiser & more disappointed in humanity.
Achievements from the past year: GOTY 2023 for my game #YOYOZO & my first DJ mix.
Things I'd have rather not had to deal with: health, harassment, shitheads.

NEWSFLASH 📢
If you're in Portland this weekend for #xoxofest or Seattle next weekend for #PAXWest2024 then you can play my award-winning game #YOYOZO at the @playdate booth. Try for the high score! Thanks to @panic for the feature.
One of the @playdate community traditions is the awarding of CAKE to any player who completes a lofty goal in a game.
Over the holidays the amazing Quinndini broke the 32-bit number limit of 2.147BN on #YOYOZO a score high enough to crash the game! 🍰
My game #YOYOZO for Playdate has received a GOTY (Game of the Year) accolade from long-standing technology publication Ars Technica! 🤯
They list my game alongside three masterpieces by my heroes Nintendo! To say I'm humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as Mario, Pikmin and Zelda is an understatement. And to then be compared with such timeless classics as Super Hexagon and Geometry Wars... well... I think I've got something in my eye 🥺
