In July 2022, the #Playdate Squad ran a community census. It was a lot of fun, & @vogelscript did a kick-ass job making the data into an excellent summary. Well, it's been almost 2 years, so we will run another one. Look out for that in July! Until then, a thread🧵

The pdlight @playdate alpha is getting very close. I just assembled the first fully standalone unit. No more external wiring!

Did you catch the little board in the previous image? That is the PDlight board. It's the man in the middle between the battery, and the Playdate motherboard. The reason for this board is to make it easy for other people to do this mod themselves. No soldering needed!

Finally getting back to MarbleZone after last weekend's Ludum Dare. Working on a race level, this is the first of a few "challenge sections" I'm planning to build for it. #indiegame #gamedev

Less than 11 hours left until the #LudumDare52 Compo deadline! I'm feeling pretty good about progress on Bad Apples. The core pieces are in place, I just have to add the loss condition and results UI. #LDJam #LudumDare #gamedev #IndieGameDev

I started on MarbleZone’s race mode tonight! Still have to implement some sort of checkpoint system for respawning, but things are feeling good 🔵 #indiegame #indiegamedeveloper #gamedev
