'In that regard, Playdate is almost priceless, as it delivers what’s essentially a brand new console with its own unique library of games and a robust development toolkit that anyone can use.'

To help celebrate the 20th anniversary of Retro Gamer magazine (a favorite of ours) we mined the depths of Cabel's basement to photograph a (highly unstable) tower of back issues to make a fun back cover.

Happy 20, Retro Gamer!!

A little over a year ago, we launched Catalog for Playdate, with 16 titles and our futuristic 'Crank to Buy' technology. If you're curious, here's how our curated, on-device store is doing!

And remember, games just keep getting added — see what's new: play.date/games

Of all the things we imagined Playdate would help bring into the world, we didn't expect a… wedding proposal!? Incredible. Congratulations to both of you, from all of us here at Panic!! 🎉

Panic co-founder Cabel recently gave a talk at GDC all about the creation of Playdate, and GDC has just made it available for free! It's got a lot of never-before-heard stories. It's also, in a way, about more than Playdate…

We really hope you enjoy it. gdcvault.com/play/1034707/T…

'Playdate is only getting better with age. It's a little yellow inspiration machine; it’s a physical reset button for the entire industry. Actually, I guess it's a reset crank.'

Earlier this week I asked the love of my life to marry me and she said YES! 💍💕 I wanted to do something special so I made a little game for the #playdate to help me propose. It's called Love Letter 💌 - her reaction was worth the months of #gamedev Playdate
