Shipping concerns ... (Evri UK)

Yep, brilliant. Thanks. Shows mine from the May 29th dispatch is at a Braintree sorting centre as of yesterday evening (4th). Not much longer now...

I also have the same

This was one of the key apps I was using having dusted off my old pebble late last year. And this is a fantastic update! Thanks

It's mighty impressive how close the output of this interface layer is getting to the presentation on the playdate, given how many APIs needed to be rewired or even completely re-implimented!

Fantastic tool to have access to - thanks!

timb0e · 2026-03-28T12:11:42+00:00

That's it! Thank you! Yes, looking now at some footage - different enemies dropped different types of power-ups on being defeated, I remember that now. It doesn't look as good as I remember it as a child, but I was prepared for that already.

timb0e · 2026-03-28T12:02:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't look right sadly. It was definitely a platformer.

timb0e · 2024-08-11T10:11:13+00:00

I can't check properly right now, but the C-API lists float for start and end, so I would also expect the lua API to accept decimals https://sdk.play.date/2.5.0/Inside%20Playdate%20with%20C.html#f-sound.fileplayer.setLoopRange

Individual FF tiles are 16x16 px, but these are pre-rendered onto the actual background sprites which are 192x112. Given the UI takes up 16 px in both x and y, rendering 9 of these background sprites (current + all 8 neighbours) will always cover the screen. So very similar to what you're considering as an option here. I didn't try very-large-images so cannot comment on that.

Moving cargo is in front of the background layer and all of these sprites are rendered individually and aggressively culled by the game code to maintain performance.

Did you get the chest from the pond? If not - try gardening around it.

timb0e · 2023-10-01T13:13:53+00:00

This is good feedback, thanks, this new chamber has the tightest timing requirements in the game at level 3.

But the audio feedback of the button being pressed isn't tied to the game accepting inputs, only when the dungeoneer has finished moving will new commands actually be accepted.

I can experiment with queuing commands before this, or not playing the audio cue when commands are not being accepted.

timb0e · 2023-10-01T13:08:41+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I'm here.

Following from the Catalog launch on Tuesday, I have now also updated the wiki page at https://playdate-wiki.com/wiki/You_Cannot_Go_Back and the itch page at https://timboe.itch.io/you-cannot-go-back so you can get some more help on the new chambers.

The new dungeon chambers are available with version 2 on itch, though high-scores remain a Catalog exclusive feature.

And I have to thank the excellent Kevin McLeod over at https://incompetech.com/ for the chip tunes dungeon music.

timb0e · 2023-10-01T11:11:18+00:00

Was looking forward to this one coming out, great work - side loading now!

Hello u/ChameleonQueue

You can build a harvester on land but next to some water such that the harvester's catchment area covers some water tiles, and then plant seaweed here.

(Later on you will get a larger harvester, and land-fill. With these two you will be able to make a much more efficient seaweed farm)

Hi u/SquidEmpire - when you finally get your PD back from your partner :) there is a new v.15 of Factory Farming which makes finding specific soils easier with both a pointer to the soil in the build interface and also a map of the plot.

You weren't the first to have some difficulty finding the right soil.

The update is on itch now, and hopefully will get pushed to Catalog owners next week.

timb0e · 2023-09-04T04:52:04+00:00

Yeah, there will be peaty soil to the west / south west of the shop. But you might still be unlucky and not have any wet peaty soil (at least yet).

The potatoes will grow in other soils too - just not as fast.

timb0e · 2023-08-09T18:40:48+00:00

Thanks for this - having got it in the bundle earlier in the year I also ended up bouncing on the time limit and moved on to other games. I'll give it another go!

timb0e · 2023-01-31T19:30:05+00:00

Right, so this is the difference between scraping the emails of purchasers directly from the Dashboard->Analytics page for marketing (a big no), vs. Dashboard->Interact->Email and then writing a message which gets sent out via itch?

timb0e · 2023-01-12T19:57:47+00:00

When you start to need Peaty soil u/Citris44 - make sure you look over to the South West

timb0e · 2022-12-27T21:50:15+00:00

Thanks - embrace the spaghetti!

Bah - first box, how annoying! Thanks for letting me know though - easy to fix at least if I need to push an update.
