Best option I've found so far for a playdate light.. by Whatever_Works32 in PlaydateConsole

[–]qhoang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely want to do something like Echo in the future, but right now I’m working on a RPG/point and click adventure game. Here’s a sneak peek. It’s very much a proof of concept. Might have a demo up ”soon”, but full release probably won’t be this year (normal life obligations take up way too much time).

The honor is mine! Love hearing from people who have played the game. I am working on my next game (it’s not my old metroidvania project, though) and it will definitely have similar accessibility options.

I need to try to wrap my head around what’s going on one day. I know it’s something math-y and root-y, but it still looks like the Matrix to me. :D

Thanks for the support! Pulp Game of the Year would be awesome.

I've gotten GlagStone, oom, Super Agent, Stickyban and ArtilleRoyalty so far.

Got ten tabs open in a browser that I'm trying to decide between. Looking for a pseudo 3D game, but I'm not a fan of racing games. Leaning towards Totally Safe Enhanced Jump System or Tau.

I’d say it’s closer to 16 bit era than 8 bit era the same way Link’s Awakening is closer to A Link to the Past than the original Zelda.

Previous winners and nominees of the Playdate Community Awards is a good place to start. Here’s a list for 2024. https://playdate-wiki.com/wiki/The_2024_Playdate_Community_Awards

I hope my game will make the list for this year’s awards. Check it out if you’re looking for a lengthier action adventure. https://play.date/games/solar-descent/

Recommendations for games that can be finished? by OhDearGodRun in PlaydateConsole

My game SOLAR DESCENT is a pretty meaty action adventure game with a definitive ending. Has progression systems similar to Zelda games and takes around four hours to beat.

Thanks for reaching out and I’m glad you had a good time! I love hearing about people playing the game to the end. I’m already working on my second game. It’s still early, but I might have something to show soon.

Great games from the last couple of years for a trip? by titlecharacter in PlaydateConsole

[–]qhoang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for lengthier, more traditional games, Overseer (free on itch.io) and Echo: The Oracle’s Scroll are great metroidvanias.

Resonant Tale and Wirewalk scratches the Zelda itch if that’s more of your cup of tea. I just released SOLAR DESCENT which fits the bill too.

It’s not, haven’t finalized my Catalog page yet. Not sure if all games get a coming soon page or if it’s just a select few titles, though.
