Are you a Playdate dev, or make Playdate things? Give me a wave! Iโ€™d like to follow some more folks in the Playdate community.

@cabel
Been pootling along on a thing in my spare time - hoping to upgrading it to A Thing this yearโ€ฆ

@cabel Havenโ€™t had time to work on Playdate stuff lately but ๐Ÿ‘‹
@cabel Hi! We made Ship Shape (on Catalog)
@cabel ๐ŸŒŠ! Currently working on a new strategy game
@cabel Yep! Making a game a bit inspired by the original Diablo. It's such a fun piece of hardware to build for.
@cabel what's poppin' ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ›ถ

@cabel

Hello from Tengu, Yamabushi Softworks, and Under The Tree (available on Catalog)! ๐Ÿ˜€

@cabel Hi! Not a Playdate owner but it's a fun platform to develop on, and I'm really grateful that the SDK is completely free to access! I'm currently working on an artillery game inspired by the Worms series, featuring bouncy little bunnies!
@voxybuns Oh this is great. (And Iโ€™m so glad every time our decision to make the SDK free and easy-to-access pays off!)
@cabel I've made some PlayDate game in the past, but I want to make more in the future!
@cabel Heya Cabel, we chatted extremely briefly at the GDC meetup. My first title on catalog was Hermit :)
@cabel ๐Ÿ‘‹ @shipstar and I (as @mostlybits) made Doink! and are working with @stublag on Wacky Bus (Demo soon!)
@cabel howdy! I make Smolitaire as well as a half dozen unfinished ideas in my simulator
@cabel hey ๐Ÿ‘‹, Playdate dev in progress.
@cabel ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m trying to make a different kind of synth on Playdate.
@mnmlyw please let me know if you need any more support for this in the runtime!
@dave @mnmlyw perhaps pitch bend support would be useful? ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡
@cabel I was working on a little chiptune app for a while, and I want to get back to it someday ๐Ÿ˜€ the Playdate SDK is a lot of fun to work with!
I made a Playdate game in two days and it's okโ„ข๏ธ - Blogopolis

<p>gotta crank it with sonic</p>

Hi @cabel ๐Ÿ‘‹ I posted this on Twitter yesterday:

Been working a bit more on the Playdate port of Zigsteroids. Playable now! #gamedev #zig

How do we go about getting a dev-zig channel on Discord? :)

@cabel ๐Ÿ‘‹
Iโ€™m hoping to post game stuff soon. Iโ€™ve just got to stop procrastinating on build tooling ๐Ÿ˜…

@Braininabowl and one more rad Playdate in-process Playdate roguelike dev for ya @platformalist - check this one!

@cabel hello ๐Ÿ‘‹

I made Stars of the Screen back in โ€˜22 and just received good news about another game ๐Ÿ™‚

@cabel heyo heyo! I currently paused my project but I still have it high in my backlog ๐Ÿ‘‹
@cabel ๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi! Iโ€™m working on a game called The Long Arc, and an active contributor to the #nim bindings library for the playdate
@cabel hey hey~
Making a realtime word game for the playdate!
@cabel ๐Ÿ‘‹
Hey Cabel! I made Jolly Chimp Champ, Dr. Panic, and am currently working on Comet and a few other surprise projects. I also sometimes post pictures of my dog in front of the butcher's stand looking like a kid on Christmas day

@cabel ๐Ÿ‘‹
Glad to see you here!
I have good news for #Rust on #Playdate: https://devforum.play.date/t/sdk-2-0-b2-pdc-produces-pdx-with-broken-binary/11345/45

Also @playdaters is my project.

SDK 2.0 b2 - PDC produces pdx with broken binary

@dave Finally! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Seems to I've fixed it! Attached elf linked with attached modified linker-script where I added just one PH. So actual PDC (2.4.2) can deal with it. And it works! I'm not sure that link-map is optimal. I don't know where to put relocation table, so I've commented RELOC_TABLE_START and tell linker "just put it somewhere after". That's not good. Well, ideally I need to defy RELOC_TABLE_START or replace it with a real fixed address. Currently (without it) reloc-t...

@cabel Hey there ๐Ÿ‘‹

Itโ€™s nothing fancy compared to the rest of the thread, but I did put together a quick and silly thing to learn how the SDK works (and had an overall smooth experience!)

@cabel Hi! Thanks to you and team for making Playdate, itโ€™s lovely.

I made this rain soundscape app over the summer: https://briandorsey.itch.io/backyard-rain-soundscape

And wrote about how good the DevEx is:

@briandorsey This is dope as hell. ๐Ÿ‘

@aconbere Awww. Thank you very much.

(Iโ€™m actually using it right nowโ€ฆ it become my go to coding and reading background)

If you want to poke around a bit at it, there are some commands and a debug view if you connect it to the Simulator console.

@cabel I'm not a playdate dev myself BUT, I've made music for a couple of playdate games!

Hi Cabel. I did Detective Face in Catalog, and am working (slowly) on Crank War right now.
