Hats off for the restraint! For me ultimately it depends on whether the person is just trying to pay rent or is an actual fanatic.

Yep from what I can tell they’ve been pretty overwhelmed with the payment processors, spam and connectivity issues lately. Payouts go through but it’s more like 20+ days currently.

The L4D games are of the few which I still remember fondly after almost two decades 🫢 Always felt ahead of its time to me.

Ymmv what works best of course, there is also Condensed and Compressed variants. Narrow feels most balanced to me.

I haven’t looked at that editor to be honest. But yeah Narrow is one of the 4 widths it comes in (essentially its own font family when downloading them).

Input: Fonts for Code Input is a typeface for code, designed by David Jonathan Ross and released by Font Bureau.

Not monospaced but Input Sans Narrow is great: input.djr.com

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Having a partner who is also a game developer is awesome for so many reasons, but I never imagined that #Playdate (and frogs) would play a part in our engagement story. Needless to say, I said yes, and Paco & Lily is now available for free on itch for you to play too! πŸ₯° tkers.itch.io/paco-and-lily

Paco & Lily by tkers A tale of two frogs

I just published a small Playdate game about 2 frogs. I originally made this as a gift for @jazzie.bsky.social, but if you like the idea of hopping around a pond, you might enjoy it too! πŸ’š
