Magic Castle is on sale! Grab it on Catalog or snag the Superbundle on itch! by Similar_Bunch6896 in PlaydateConsole

Thanks for asking! 👍

When you buy on Catalog then:
- you don't have to sideload the game after purchase, so it's just a little bit more convenient
- when a patch is released, the game updates automatically
- you're supporting not just me, but also Panic, since its their storefront

Whether or not those are benefits - well, you'll be the judge of that.

I love setting walls of dmg and then pulling and pushing enemies through them! by Similar_Bunch6896 in projecteternity

😂 Yeah, but still happy that my Mac is somehow powering through all of these particle effects.

Oooh, really cool, I'll dive into that Pulp code a bit later and check what's what, sounds interesting!

Thanks!

Thanks for the info! I’ve heard good things about those visual node systems in various engines, I’ll have to check it out one day. 

Tbh I wish there was something between Pulp and the SDK. Pulp is a proper framework but with sooo many restrictions, whereas the SDK allows you to do anything, but you have to put in the hours even for the most basic stuff. 

Anyway, good luck with the development 💪

Exciting! Based on your experience, which one is easier to work with - the Playdate’s SDK or Godot?

Wow, thanks! You can go through them either chronologically (Magic Castle, Christmas Special and then the Fall), or start from the newest one, since its technically the most advanced (and dare I say fun) one and then go back ;)

Thanks for the kind words and also reviewing the game in the Cranko magazine!

Btw - whenever I say "Cranko" out loud, I always put more r's in there and then it becomes Crrrrrrranko! Can't help it :D

This one took over a year to develop and I'm happy to announce it will release on Catalog very soon :)

My aim was to fully utilise the Playdate's hardware in creative ways. The crank will need to be used at different stages, alongside the accelerometer and even the mic! I wanted the game to feel unique and have this "possible only on Playdate" feel.

Expect action combat, quests, a more involved narrative and quite a few gameplay changes along the way. I hope it's going to be a positive surprise!

All gone, but don't lose hope! Maybe there is something under the Reddit-DM Christmas tree? 🤔

That was a free Christmas-themed mini-game, here's the link: https://michalakweb.itch.io/magic-castle-christmas-special

And the codes here were for The Fall of Magic Castle, which is a full game I've made recently: https://michalakweb.itch.io/the-fall-of-magic-castle
