'The Dark Souls of Invisible Platformers' https://youtu.be/ZZFvh9Xjtrw With Off-Planet Dreams launch on Playdate Catalog, in many ways, the release of this game is a Full-Circle moment for me. OPD expresses an idea I’ve carried for seven years and brings closure to a little piece of my heart that had been lost. Fantastic Arcade 2017 Indie games have long been my passion. I delight in seeing the creativity that a small team or single creator can push forward. That’s why I love the Playdate community so much! But before there was Playdate, there was Fantastic Arcade. FA was an annual showcase...

Tom Granger is a developer for the Playdate and has done what I had hoped to someday do - he has created the hardware and software to turn the Playdate into a camera! A la the Gameboy Camera before it, Tom's Playdate Camera project takes this little handheld system and vastly expands its capabilities. He was kind enough to share test shots used in the production of the camera and we have included them as an exhibit/photowalk in the new ART tOO for July 2023 The ART tOO is free to download and explore. The shots Tom provided were cropped...

Importantly - 256x144px Until I am put back together This piece was made intentionally bigger than what can be displayed in Pulp on the Playdate. I have it as the Entry work to the Gallery proper in ART& as a statement and to begin to bend expectations for a videogame art gallery. As you find fragments scattered about the grounds, you will fill in holes in its tapestry and uncover a message, specifically: 'I Only Exist in Pieces.. Until I am put back together' This is the Zilker Park Tree of Lights in Austin, TX. Now eclipsed somewhat in fame...

ART in Translation across Medium During development of ART& I was walking through a massive MC Escher exhibit in Houston. So many of his works in black and white seemed like they would translate delightfully into low-res 1-bit, but that would fundamentally change what they are, even while bringing them to a new platform. With Escher, the detail and craft embody the message, but there is a loss in translating mediums. The work is fundamentally a different thing even were the artist themselves to craft it. Running through my mind while viewing a master's work and seeing the arc of...

ART7 1-bit Gallery **OUT NOW for Playdate** by Ledbetter So I'm building an Art Gallery for the Playdate Handheld Console. !. It's called ART7 and will be released in April/May/June on itch.io and to the developer community. I have a long personal history of fascination with Games and Game Hardware, especially niche and bootleg devices. Tiger Electronic LED handheld games. Space Harrier on the Sega Game Gear. I built a Retroarch machine into a NES cartridge. I'm loving my Anbernic 315v and all the MAME games I can run. I have a bootleg arcade stick with 1400+ arcade games. I...
