it's the fun part, I spent the entire past month optimizing my game to decrease the garbage collector. I worked in a bunch of object pooling stuff, stopped to generate timers in code runtime putting in local functions, stopped using tables without referencing it, avoided destroying and creating objs

my friend asked me to wait for my birthday present because he was making it, he surprised me and kept me in suspense, and a month later here it is. I loved it, the wait was worth it. #cultofthelamb

I'm about to finish Pongerground for the playdate and I'm just thinking: What should I do for my next project?

1 - Card-minefield like game in Godot (targeting Steam and bro, this is a very interesting concept);
2 - Diff app for macOS;
3 - A micro SaaS application (no AI wrapper).

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

I will keep my Nintendo Switch 1 for a while, this is absolutely insanely overpriced!
