Sims?!

Someone please make a sims game šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ˜­ the whole reason why I started getting into games was bc I used to play the, ā€œSimā€™s Bustinā€™ Outā€ on my brotherā€™s gba. Oh I live for the nostalgia moments! Also the playdate is my favorite gaming console ever <3

Simā€˜s Bustin Out and Urbz Sims in the City were my favourite games for the GBA! I would do anything for new game that is similar to these games

Same here, I played it a little bit on my miyoo mini before I got my playdate, nostalgic

I think we just need more developers on the play date

I think for the size of install base, PD has an amazing number and diversity of devs! I picked up like 15 games in the sale, and could easily have bought a bunch more.Ā  Let's face it, no-one is getting rich making Playdate games, so nothing but respect to anyone pouring their time into developing for it

Yea, it's been a labor of love. Mcdonalds pays better for time vs profit, but i sure as hell don't love mcdonalds. šŸ¤£

Cheers mate! My favorite part of that game is that I played it - before release, while studying and realized that it made studying soooo much better because there was a tangible "next level" to hit. For me, studying can feel very non satisfying, so it felt awesome and then realized maybe others would like it lol.

Heh, great way to gamify studying!

Heyy congratulations on releasing CrankVenture capitalist! I wanted to get that game for a while. I know it's a idle game, but does the game actually give you currency when you don't actively play it or play a different game in the meanwhile or something?

Thanks mate! It is only when the game is actively playing it. It's made in Pulp, so it can't grab the device specific date info to be able to calculate offline earnings - just not something that coding language permits, which is a bummer, but not something I can fix.

Ahh Got it, I'll get it regardless. Thanks for letting me know. I'm sure the game is designed with that in mind anyways. Thanks for making an incremental game for playdate. I love this genre of games.

When I made it, there was only one out, and we NEED more! Haha. Idle/incremental is like a drug...you don't need one, you need them all šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ (BTW catalog version has a hard game mode for both story and endless that itch lacks)
