I partnered up with davemakes (developer of the Playdate Season 1 game Executive Golf DX) to make a survivors-like game for the Playdate! This project has been almost 3 months in the making, so I hope you enjoy :)

20:18 That part where the game unwraps and the seamless loading screen, my favourite

@mixolumia Год назад

Had a blast working with you and I hope we get to do it again sometime!

@SquidGodDev Год назад

You're the best Dave 🦑🦑🦑

@SnowPeaGames Год назад

Loved the UI and the many ways you managed to tie it to the story/concept. Looks great!

@dangermouse8466 7 месяцев назад

Great job. Do you have any advice for a newbie like me ie where to start learning about game development?

@mixolumia 7 месяцев назад

@@dangermouse8466 everybody has to find their own path, the thing that makes it click and gets you started is different for everyone. But youtube is full of fantastic tutorials, and there are several great free game engines you can tinker with. Learning to search them out yourself is part of the process :) Good luck!

I'm a AAA game developer who has spent my entire career and education with C/C++, and I'm surprised to see so little support and functionality for the C API. I hope projects like this see a full LUA SDK port to the C SDK as there is quite a lot missing from it

@SquidGodDev Год назад

Yeah it is a bit sparse. There is basically only one developer working on the SDK, so hopefully they can get some more help or something.

@jaaxc1036 Год назад

I also wished they would’ve just made it a C++ API. But I guess the ABI is more stable in C. I think some people on the forums have managed to get C++ working by changing a few files and that C++ support was in the dev teams roadmap.

@kplays_6000 Год назад

@@jaaxc1036 I've heard through compiler modifications that people managed to get C++ to work, but only the base features, no standard library or anything. But OOP is probably worth it

Looks really nice! I will have to get a Playdate at some point to try some of these games out

@SquidGodDev Год назад

Heck yeah

@philstollery2073 Год назад

Doesn’t just look nice, it plays brilliantly. The graphics and audio are awesome. You might be getting tapped for season 2 from Panic for this one I think. Well done. I’m using your videos to try and get my game done. Thank you for all you share. $6 well spent on supporting this awesome resource.

@GrilledPandas Год назад

Really impressed with the effort from both of you lads. Gonna pick up Dave's block game

@ruolbu Год назад

I appreciate that you moved away from collision detection. That's one of those moments where a 'port' of the original game mechanics to a new system just has to change the game in order to work. Like a GBA port of Need for Speed. Just not the same, but with some concessions you can make it work. Yeah the specific dynamics will change because of the different implementation and maybe the gamefeel will be different as well. But it was finished and now looks very good and fun.

@RyanNiemer 7 месяцев назад

This is simply amazing! You all have inspired me to try to make my own game(s) and I can't wait for my Playdate to arrive!

Dude, your editing is really sick! I get the feeling you’re getting better each video. And this is coming from a professional video editor. ✨

@SquidGodDev Год назад

Thank you! Means a lot coming from a pro, and glad it's coming through. Lot's to learn on the editing front, but it feels manageable when I just pick a few things to learn for each video.

I've been neglecting my Playdate lately but I'm charging it back up now to install this. Great work!

@TheMissingSockz Год назад

I'm impressed at how fleshed out this game actually is, and how enjoyable it looks to play. I had all but dismissed the playdate as a modern game & watch before this video. Good job! Keep it up! Would love to see you try and tackle c and really push the limits of this little console.

Dude!!!!!! How do you make games so fast that look so good?! This is without a doubt the most polished looking one yet, not to mention your video is extremely well edited and clearly took a lot of time! Collaborating certainly seems like it was worth it, I hope you do more in the future. I say this every single time, but gosh darn it I cannot wait for my Playdate to finally ship to me so I can buy and play all of your games!

@NotFamousReal Год назад

Really enjoyed watching this process! I made a VS like game on Android called Zombies in the Neighborhood and one thing that I've learned and love is that while initially the development felt much like "copying" features and ideas, as you test it and keep making it you end up doing unique things and it started to become more unique.

Yeah same playdate costs 450$ where I’m from and I can’t even order it from the official site for 200$. I can literally get Xbox X for 450$ with game pass so it doesn’t even make sense to buy it like I’m not rich for it but I want it so much but can’t justify the cost like you

@soviut303 Год назад

Nice work. I actually preferred some of the concept logos to the final one. The first one shown with the vertical line through the O and U look gave me the best sense of drilling down into a planet since the line sort of looked like a bore hole.

@Otakutaru Год назад

I would have used the dpad for movement and the crank for aiming, that would have made the controlability better. Being able to move and shoot the mosters behind you

@SquidGodDev Год назад

Physically, it's pretty tricky to use the d-pad and the crank at the same time. You kind of have to hold it in an awkward grip, so there are some accessibility considerations.
