Reviewing and adjusting the collision hitboxes and making sure they feel fair/good 🤏. Release is getting close 🙇!

And in case you haven't seen it, here's the reveal trailer I made! youtu.be/_oECyEonn4U

A minor update to my #Playdate game "Sound Mind" that's still hugely satisfying: I finally replaced the placeholder animations for the bookcases.

Keen-eyed viewers will notice that the secret passages create a space that doesn't make sense, but that's okay because the game doesn't make sense.

Another project I'm tinkering with is a possible PlayDate exclusive Melkhior's Mansion spin off. Very early days, but it looks really neat on the actual device.

Hyper Vector is gradually filling out with more sound effects, the latest is for when you jump between systems. I added a new animation for it too, it feels a bit more like an event now!

Haven't posted screenshots of the game for a long time, but the work continues and there are many changes.
For example, I redesigned card UI description. Previous one was good, but the text never fit in it, so gave up and remade it

it's my birthday, but you might be the ones getting a gift (maybe lol). I’ve decided to go back to my very first Playdate project, my debut game after leaving it on the shelf for a year. I’m aiming to release it in the next few weeks, so I’ll be speeding things up. #playdate #sologame #indiegame

This is the in-game level editor of Climbing Life.

A big part of the game is about solving boulder problems (puzzles in climbing jargon), so I needed an easy way to see how far holds are from each other.
