Not quite the endorsement we expected but we’ll take it 😅

Enjoy!

Voidblazers by tkers, cookiejazzie A story-driven shoot 'em up for Playdate

In celebration of the Artemis II mission, we've launched a Voidblazers sale for the next 10 days!

While the Artemis crew is traveling further than any human has ever been, why not pick up our #Playdate game for the lowest price it's ever been?

Get Voidblazers at 50% off: tkers.itch.io/voidblazers

(Though I’m sure piracy is already a thing as well)

If the purchase was from a year or 2 ago: someone explained they made an auto update script that went a bit haywire

Hats off for the restraint! For me ultimately it depends on whether the person is just trying to pay rent or is an actual fanatic.

True, this is how I got diagnosed

Yep from what I can tell they’ve been pretty overwhelmed with the payment processors, spam and connectivity issues lately. Payouts go through but it’s more like 20+ days currently.

Oh look it’s Big Protein with its endless fearmongering again

We have blast off!

🌌 The Cosmic Collection is available now: itch.io/b/3398/-the-...

Pick up 4 space-themed #Playdate games for just $15 until January 25th!

The L4D games are of the few which I still remember fondly after almost two decades 🫶 Always felt ahead of its time to me.

We’ll just have the AI generate some footage first! 🤪

Oh hell yeah! 🔥

Ymmv what works best of course, there is also Condensed and Compressed variants. Narrow feels most balanced to me.

I haven’t looked at that editor to be honest. But yeah Narrow is one of the 4 widths it comes in (essentially its own font family when downloading them).

(yes I will die on that hill)

Not monospaced but Input Sans Narrow is great: input.djr.com

Love this!

And the close button actually closes the app 🥲

Pulp shenanigans #Playdate #ScreenshotSaturday

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
