Hey #PitchYaGame people 👋 Here is my game

🛡️G l o o m G a t e⚔️

It's a pocket-sized, 1-bit action RPG/Dungeon Crawler exclusively for @play.date 💛
It has reaction based fights, a node based overworld and of course Souls-Like elements 😏

I hope you like it 🥰

I’ve been absolutely loving this thing. Here’s a track that started from sampling a chord progression on my piano. #m8tracker

I started with Game Maker when I was 10. When I got into Playdate dev in 2023 it brought a flood of nostalgia back to those days that’s kept me going still 2 years later.

If you’d told me as a kid I could’ve had a HANDHELD WITH A CRANK that I could load my games onto I would’ve fainted.
💡🔬🎮 Playdate brings game design into education!

The Playdate handheld console has made a big splash in indie gaming. It can do the same in your classroom!

• Easy to create games for, whether students can program or not
• Learning-by-doing at its very best
• For elementary to grad school students

Nearly have an end-to-end experience here, so took a little time this afternoon to go to a rooftop bar and play through the whole thing.

Putting all the visual pieces together into a scripted sequence using MIDI to toggle each layer/effect on/off. #playdate

Will be perfectly synced to the soundtrack.

Inspired by Earthbound BG FX now - am trying to learn how to replicate some of the pixel shifting techniques. Thanks @kaasiand.cool for the introduction! #playdate
