Got the level system working on my bubble game. I'll be working on the blitz/timer mode next!
I also spent a lot longer than I should have making a batch file to create mp4's with the playdate overlayed on gifs from the simulator. Not perfect, but it works well enough ๐

Been cooking away on my bubble game for the past month. Really happy with how fast this one is coming along! It's been nice feeling motivated to work on a project after being burnt out for a while.

Congrats on the release!
Spent a few days rebuilding an old prototype. Completely rewrote the whole collision and grid system and this version is way more performant on device and handles spawing in new rows properly! Also building the game rotated this time so everything can be way bigger! ๐ซง

The update is now live on Catalog!
Been a bit burnt out with Playdate dev recently, but I found some time over the holiday break to work on the Pass-n-Play mode of Clash Cards! Update is out now on Itch and should be out soon on Catalog! ๐ #playdate
I haven't actually touched it since posting this. Life has been pretty busy lately and what time I have had to do some dev work I have spent working on a pass and play update for Clash Cards. Once that is released I'd like to jump back onto this though, it was fun to work on!
You can pick up all three of my Catalog games on sale as part of Augustravaganza! This is the first time Spirit Trail has gone on sale!
Theres a thread for it in the Playdate Dev discord server, in catalog-general
Quick, before the next Season Two games come out (or while you're downloading them), check out a Playdate classic. It's Clash Cards from @dardoyle.bsky.social on Playdate Unofficial: www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/clash-cards
Thanks for the writeup! I'm working on a pass-and-play update now and adding a bunch more cards!
Last stop before Season Two: it's Puzzle Quest-like Spirit Trail on Playdate Unofficial! www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/spirit-trail
This is looking and sounding so great!
Spirit Trail has sold 100 copies in its first week of release! Thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy and made it my most successful Catalog launch so far ๐ฅณ

Waiting on my catalog submission for Spirit Trail, decided to noodle around with a bubble popping arcade game ๐ซง Took me quite a few revisions to get a collision system that works well, but I've landed on a system that I'm happy with and runs great on device!

Yo thats huge! Congrats!
Spent the night redrawing the party select scene. Really happy with how it has turned out and I ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ it is the last sprite work for the game!

Great tip! I use WinDirStat but hadn't thought to use it for this. Wish you posted this before I went through all my audio files individually ๐ญ
Managed to finish the tutorial for Spirit Trail before starting back at work for the year! The game is super close to being content complete now, just need to redo the party select scene ๐ตโ
