I just got the first Control during a sale and it’s a lot of fun! Eventually I’ll get Resonant, maybe when it’s also $6 :p
I’m also most of the way through the Faith trilogy. They’re nostalgic, fun, and I’m pleasantly surprised how many mechanics they can squeeze out of “walk and hold A to crucifix”!
Those S3 games look awesome, I’ve been following a few of them as they were made! Gloom Gate might be the best looking game on the system

Gloom Gate is insane! I was playing and my partner was like “I didn’t realize the playdate could do stuff like that” Neither did I haha.
I’m actually trying to get back into playing the playdate more and doing some dev! AI has generally made me very pessimistic and depressed about the games space so I’ve somewhat retreated to the playdate as a bastion of mostly AI free stuff. In fact I’ve been looking at your noble game engine example project a decent amount to try and gauge if I want to use it for my stuff! It’s a great repo, thanks for making it :)

It’s crazy what the playdate can do when you fake it 😆 and thank you, I really enjoyed working with the noble engine stuff! I’d like to get back to playdate dev but I’ve got a game to finish (demo just released for NextFest 🥳)

Also, I should ask! Working on anything? 👀 Or any ideas you’re thinking?

I may have said this before way back but I once again am trying to first get a little holedown style brick breaker thing on playdate. But from there I would love to try and make a wario ware style thing, which the scene structure of noble engine seems well suited for
