I always thoroughly enjoy these updates; I don't mind the length, though I'd love a higher frequency. The combination of retro tech and 1-bit graphics with modern gameplay sensibilities is fascinating.
And I agree, SquidGod's tutorials are a great resource. I'd like to try my hand at a PlayDate game sometime.
Thank you! It always makes me happy when someone enjoyed a log, and even spent the time to write a comment. But you’re right about the frequency. A new post every 4 to 6 weeks would be a decent pace. I think my mistake is to wait to complete a feature before reporting on it, instead of breaking it up into smaller chunks.
I love that you get this impression of 1-bit with a modern sensibility, because this is what appeals to me in video games, this mix of modern and retro. Games have come a long way, and even if I’m looking to capture some of the charm of the past I don’t want to get stuck into it and let nostalgia drive the project. So I’m glad if that balance comes across when looking at Atlantic ‘41.
