Did you know that all games distributed in France, even digital, need to be saved in our National Library, the BnF ? Law from 1993. Obviously even french devs don't know it necessarily or forget it. But that's good for preservation of games I think. #gamedev #videogame #videogamepreservation

The game is so good that even fans troll the Steam reviews! #Expedition33
"Really? Like, really?
What the hell are you doing reading negative reviews? Instead of playing this great game!
GOOOOOOOOOOOO"

So let's try Expedition 33 for an hour, see if it deserves the hype 🤓 #pegases2026
And then I still have few games on my backlog...

Too many games to fit in my screen 😱 Need to test all of them before the end of the month. Which one to start with? #Pégases2026 #gameawards

I also played some friend's games of my local gamedev community. Randomice by @videoludid.bsky.social , Fire Hero by @ravenlore-studio.com , Wordatro by @poulet.bsky.social , and Sheepherds by @ultimodisco.bsky.social. I'd liked to play em more but I was very busy. I hope to finish em before spring😘

I bought a Steam Deck last fall so I have more opportunities to play when TV is busy. I love to play arcade games in small game sessions and I really love Crazy Taxi. But where are Offspring and Bad Religion music??? I miss the Dreamcast.

The games I enjoyed the most but still not finished : Let's! Revolution! (8h), a roguelite minesweeper, Pyrenne (5h), a roguelite deckbuilder, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom (3h). Yeah I know I don't play that much! But I hope to dedicate more time on video games for 2026!

2025 games played report!
I only finished 4 games so far, all on Playdate: Dig Dig Dino, Chance's Lucky Escape, Black Hole Havoc and Fulcrum Defender. Having games at your disposal whenever you want helped a bit I guess. But they are small and good so that helps too!

With the lights, #blendate add-on is what needs the most tweaking. This add-on render 1-bit dithering spritesheet from blender meshes or animations. Good tool! You need to try! #playdateConsole osuika.itch.io/blendate

To have a good rendering, lights are important. I choose area lights. 💡 This requires lot of tweaking to have a good rendering.

Since I render in a 2d space, it's better to have an orthographic camera with the size of the #playdateConsole.

My budget was low, so I purchased 3d assets. I just tweaked it by merging 2 assets. superhivemarket.com/products/chr...

When crafting the game's sound design, you might occasionally stumble upon a sound by accident or coincidence. For example, I was recording the "oooo" sound but my kids made some noise so I said CHUT (shh in english) and it became the ghost's dying sound 😜 .#playdateConsole #sounddesign

Tiny update before the Christmas one. It includes new sounds and some fixes. It's frustrating to still encounter bugs in my game 4 months after launch but hopefully I may be the only 1 to experience it since it involves being really quick. Anyway, my game gets better. ✌️ #playdateConsole #gamedev

And finally, a quick merge in Audacity to merge both sounds and try to match the animation duration. Final export in IMA ADPCM for Playdate compatibility.

I used Game Synth for the slot machine sound. Thanksfully there is already a patch available for this kind of sound, I just removed an intro sound and play with amplitude, frequencies and delay to have something that I like.

First I recorded myself saying Jackpot in Ableton and add these effects: Octave Mod (vocoder), Moscow (resonator), Outer Space (reverb) to get that retro machine voice. I must confess that I just randomly move some potentiometers.
