'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!

The shots  Tom provided were cropped...

https://youtu.be/bjIbBWGffog At the beginning of the pandemic, stuck at home, I needed something to sink my teeth into. As a video editor, I had always wanted to get deeper into understanding and recording audio. So I looped my friend William Monroe into creating a podcast with me centered around the game AI Dungeon The concept was to record short to medium length playthroughs of AI-guided roleplaying sessions. Then, to put a little more production into the project, Misty Witten came on to do narration and characters as she was working on finding her voice as a voice actor. I was...
