The whole world is keyed on state, and I have debug methods that force the game into another state for testing. For example, this is the playground before the mailman loses his job, and after. #playdate [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Apr 2026 21:16 +0000at://did:plc:vfh5a7fs4nn5vbfdbmelt4mb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjuut3iyws2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/scenicroutesoftware.com/post/3mjpvlzuxws2qBedbeard’s Revenge takes a snapshot of wherever you happen to be when it saves, and uses that as the background image for the main menu for a nice transition back into the game. #playdate17 Apr 2026 21:47 +0000at://did:plc:vfh5a7fs4nn5vbfdbmelt4mb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjpvlzuxws2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/scenicroutesoftware.com/post/3mjjysonfsc2hThe inclusion of other video games in this video game is getting a little silly, honestly. #playdate.

This is in no way related to negative feedback I may have received about a different game. #playdate06 Apr 2026 12:49 +0000at://did:plc:vfh5a7fs4nn5vbfdbmelt4mb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mitcgq6boc27https://bsky.app/profile/scenicroutesoftware.com/post/3mipjdzhckk2rHere's a bunch more, including Bedbeard himself. At this point I think I've drawn more stuff for this one than the original game and The Whiteout combined. #playdate #pixelart [contains quote post or other embedded content]05 Apr 2026 00:42 +0000at://did:plc:vfh5a7fs4nn5vbfdbmelt4mb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mipjdzhckk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/scenicroutesoftware.com/post/3mimnik3kuc2iThey're not going anywhere until their demands are met, so meet their demands or they're just going to come up with more demands! #playdate03 Apr 2026 21:18 +0000at://did:plc:vfh5a7fs4nn5vbfdbmelt4mb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mimnik3kuc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/scenicroutesoftware.com/post/3mhbiifplcs2fHenry can't catch the bus in this game, either. #playdate17 Mar 2026 17:24 +0000at://did:plc:vfh5a7fs4nn5vbfdbmelt4mb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhbiifplcs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/scenicroutesoftware.com/post/3mgl2et3f4k2jDo you think a robot peeing on things is funny?
