Three words everyone wants to hear. Playdate. In stock A letter of happiness just arrived. The amazing company Panic does not only make software. In between commits they publish games. For example, my favorite walking simulator, Firewatch. If you do not play games, for God's sake, play this one. You do not need to do anything; you are a viewer in a slightly interactive production. In short, in between commits and reconciling P&L, they make an incredible piece of hardware. Their own console, Playdate. With unique mechanics. I was lucky, Anton let me try it. And this turning of the crank really immerses you in the game and creates a tighter emotional connection. More in some games, less in others. Games are released in an unusual way too. In seasons. You can also create your own game. Welcome to game dev! And what about beauty? In terms of beauty, on the landing we have a volumetric model of the device.

And also check out what a cute dock they plan to make. It is cool that Teenage Engineering's ideas spread, put down roots, and bear fruit. Yes, TE designed the device ✨ This artifact, an art object from the world of design, was immediately ordered.
