I've informed Blanche that she's been described as both pleasant and patient, and she's honored. Now she's even more excited to teach everyone some card games. Thanks for visiting Carte Blanche, @thegamellama.bsky.social!

One final Playdate Unofficial update for the day: I reversed the order on the Game Jams list, so the newest ones are right up at the top. If you want to see what's current and upcoming, check it out!

Is Bluesky worth it for promoting cozy/wholesome games? We haven't had quite as much success here as on the Other Place...but I think it's nicer here and I want to stay ☺️ If our game looks like your cup of tea, could you please like & share this? More info in 🧵⬇️

Summer plan: go to forest.

update: finished the four-hour demo and it's essentially Danganronpa Fire Emblem, with the twist that you aren't punished and actually grow more powerful by losing units in battle (these characters also get revived immediately afterwards). my stance still remains "sure!"
