I make stuff for the Playdate (in Lua), it’s a tiny cheese-slice-shaped gameboy with a reflective 1-bit screen and a crank!
So far I’ve Only done smaller projects like an example project and I worked with a friend to make a little face app for pictures, but I’ve got a few games that I’m going to finish up since I got my preorder last week
how has that been? I thought the idea was neat but wondered about how it would be long term. Are you able to publish what you make and get some income?
It’s a small community, so I wouldn’t expect to be making a living just yet 😅 Squid God was pretty big in the community making tutorials and, he shared his revenue and it looks like a little over $4k for a game he collaborated on that was released on the device’s catalog. A few of his smaller games got a combined $3k, but that’s also with the added YouTube audience helping with popularity.
The community is good though! Very open-source welcome, at least the parts I’ve interacted with.
