I ordered my Playdate last week, and it arrived today. I am having a blast with it so far. Highly recommend it. The build quality is really solid, and the software is snappy and fast. Seriously, get yourself one of these.

    Does it even have touch capability? Though I could see the logic if there is some way to develop in a way that allows easily exporting to both the Playdate and Android.

    Also I’d say a lot of those features are easier had with a Steam controller (or perhaps other gamepad). Granted they are not sold anymore, but I got one in the fire sale and likely a lot of people did as well due to being dirt cheap (PC Gamer says 48 million, 10% of sessions).

    I was originally going to reply to @essell on agreement on cost, but the only real substance was

    1. It’s not really for me for a lot of reasons (I don’t need portability, I don’t like buying things generally+use what I have)
    2. I haven’t worked my way up to real creation yet (due to a lot of problems) but my desired aesthetic is more like these things I’ve made animated 2D eye (note:imgur links only work if opened in a private window for me) or 3D plant with only vertex colors.
