After a FULL year of waiting since ordering, my Playdate finally arrived today :grin:



For those of you who dont know, the Playdate is a small limited run handheld console made by Panic; weirdly the same company that makes my fav website editor (Nova) but most people know them more for making Firewatch and a dumb game about a goose I never played! The ad is cute!

It has a very reflective 2bit screen, a speaker, some buuttoons and a crank and also wifi and 4GB storage! Currently there is no midi player app but I WANT ONE; side note it would be really cool to make a web radio station that just played midis.

Also I really didn't plan to make anything for it, but now that its in my hands ooohh do i wanna make something for it :ozwomp: If you dont have one but wanna make stuff for it you can get a simulator on their dev page (its also got a game making program thing that I think lets you make games with minimal dev skills)

Iv been trying out unofficial sideloaded apps today, so far my favorite is this dumb horse racing simulator.


Its also got a cute lil planner app:


And POGN

That’s so cool!

Also, I dunno if chiptunes are technically the same as midis, but you might dig https://rainwave.cc/chiptune/

I remember seeing this thing several months back and filing it under "useless beautiful gadgets that I would love to buy." If you're interested in writing any sort of review I'd love to read it! I love these sorts of lower-bit toys (and I love the gameboy look...the gameboy pocket is my favorite handheld), but I still can't really shell out the money for this one. I didn't know they had a dev kit though, so I'll definitely be checking that out!

Iv been having fun with video playback on it, you can speedshift videos with the crank! :ozwomp:

That's... Kind of funny indeed, but is it playing normal .mp4 files? If yes, it's also cool to just see them playing on a 2-bit display.
