Making a Playdate game


I just purchased a Playdate and as I was in the process, I saw they had a publicly available SDK. After purchase (originally to simply play the games), I kept thinking about how fun it could be to make a game for such a tiny console with such hardware constrains and with.. a crank. I make AAA games (Environment Art) as a job, but working on simpler games has always been interesting. I'm also an artist (with interest on the technical aspects and visual-scripting understanding) and not a programmer, so this is going to be a ride.

I don't know how this will go or if it will ever be done, because I don't know how to program. I have an idea for this game which I will write a log about soon, but this will probably be a long journey. For now, I have to understand Lua.

Wish me luck.
