  • Just ran into this article today about the Playdate and another game device. Its basically saying why it won't last long despite a good idea it is.

    But who knows, it could do well.

  • Thanks Kyatric. Very helpful insight and thanks for checking into it even further. I thought it could be possible in a way for Construct games to be playable or crossover but I guess not.

    I see your point. The Switch is more for popular known games tho then indie-games. They do have indie-games for the switch, but their games(nes/nintendo)mainly dominates the device such as smash bros, Mario kart, bros and party, Zelda, Pokemon ,etc. Steam Deck on the other hand is more for both indie and well-known games, which I never knew there was a Steam Deck until you commented lol. I had to look it up and do some research. I do like the idea of Playdate tho that it is made for the indie games as well. Im not sure if it's ONLY for indie games, but I do like the thought of that besides Steam Deck having a better edge over Playdate.

    Ran across this video the other day and thought how cool this was for them to make a gameboy like device for only indie games. Apparently this has been made a year ago but they are just now making an official release of the Playdate game device. I reached out to the developers myself to see if they would possibly be interested of my indie arcade game, Maze Zone, just yesterday and am waiting to get a reply💙. The device only have 4 indie games on it, but it can store up to 25 games on it. I may be interested in getting one myself but I'll have to see . I think it's possible for construct developers to their games featured on the device as well.

    My advice is to get all the things YOU CAN DO done. Whether thats levels, coding that isn't too advance for you to do, designs, characters, etc etc. THEN I would look for advice of someone with more experience then you to help you on your project. If your just starting out or too early of development, then it would be hard to find someone to work with you because that's a big burden and a huge load to take on and try to figure out your game. So the best thing is to get what you can get done to the best of your ability and after you got things finish, that you know for sure that is set for your game, then look for that help and guidance to help you finish what you couldn't do on your own. It's about knowing exactly what you want first in your game and doing it to the best of your ability if your able.

  • Just one more day for the official demo to be released🎮👾

  • Hey guys, sorry I haven't been keeping everyone posted but im back! I was doing a lot of filing and paperwork for my business and still working on that and music for the game. I have 3 songs left to complete and the game will FINALLY be officially Steam ready. BUT, enough time has pass and I think its finally about time to release that demo[WOOT WOOT]! Im going to upload the demo on itch.io TUESDAY of JUNE/22/2021. The time the demo will be uploaded is at 6PM! So be on the look out itch.io folks and let me know what you think! Im getting everything ready and prepared so there won't be no possible issues.

  • Ooooh this looks challenging. I like it.

  • Demo of the game is currently being developed to play for a select few testers. Will be announced soon to try out to give feedback. ;)

  • Great news everyone! the game is about finish!!! As the last time I posted, the things and checkup ups I've done has been completed! Pause menu is done, Layout out transitions are finish, game modes are functioning well, tweaks and edits has been made for gameplay, credits is completed, everything is working how I imagine it would! Two things I decided not to continue with, Top 5 leader score board, and new cover art. I decided that my "Gameplay" cover will be the one for the game cover and my first cover. As for the top 5, its not really needed to make it an "Arcade game". The music is still being worked on, BUT im getting on it. Im planning on looking for 10 BETA TESTERS to try out the game for BRUTATL HONEST criticisms. So I will be looking for the feedback of what needs to be improved, what was liked, what was not liked, controls, gameplay, and detailed feedback on why you did or did not like it. Im just not sure where to host it or allow just the 10 testers to try. But anyways, the help would be greatly welcome. Last planning on making a nice game trailer for it and planning a launch date to upload it to Steam. I've come a long way with this game so I hope to make it the best it can be. Very happy for this and that this is one of my first major game I created to sell. We shall see what fortune this will bring. Very challenging game so be on the look out!

  • Thank you, it works!
