I think I figured it out - here's a little expansion of the instructions that he provides above... 1) Go here: https://github.com/dr-watson-hk/PocketBMLuaPlayer 2) Download the .zip file contents that contain beatmachine.lua and scalemanager.lua 3) Add beatmachine.lua and scalemanager.lua to your project 4) add a folder in your project directory called "beats" and add the beats you created from PocketBM (reboot Playdate to data disk and pull files) 5) add a folder called "samples" and add the .pda samples from PocketBM (like bass, bottle, brass, etc.) - I am not 100% sure if "samples" is needed but i added it 6) call the beats you created (to test I added this code in my initialize):

BeatMachine.Create()

BeatMachine.LoadBeat('beats/yourfile.bmf')

BeatMachine.PlayTheBeat(1) -- the number here is how many times your file will play

I am still working with it, but I have enough to go on now... thanks!  I love the app, but this part could be better.  I appreciate that you at least put a basic outline on GitHub.

The app itself is really nice, but how do I get the .bmf files off of the Playdate?  I want to use the music/sounds I have created, but it looks like the .bmf files are not useable.  How do I get them converted/saved out so that they can be played (e.g. .wav, .mp3, something)?

No - I did see that, but went past it.  The one I am stuck on said something like, "need the second key" or something like that.  I'm still a fox.

I'm blown away by the game so far, but I can't find the key to the first door.  I've been through all the areas multiple times.  Are you going to have an FAQ for this?  It's an exceptional game so far, I just hate waking around aimlessly.

Destination Playdate posted a video on Fortress, here it is:

Destination Playdate covers tons of Playdate games, their videos are really well done.  It was cool to see Fortress on their channel.

Awesome!  Just opened the game and I can see the slots for the new items, thanks!  Super excited to try it out.

Are the updates going to come to catalog?  If not, can I send you my catalog receipt and get the latest version without having to buy it again?  Great game!

I am going to post a condensed screenshot of the guide, I have had a few people say they could not access the link I posted.  

The game has been added to itch and will release on catalog later today!

Hi all - I have added the game's reference sheet to the page, but the actual game will not be available to download until October 8th (in the morning).  I'll add the .zip file for the game on the 8th and anyone who wants to buy the game should receive the game and the reference sheet then.  Thanks.
