I think there's definitely got to be scope for another Christmas special!

Blimey Congrats OR - massive and wonderful achievement

Thanks Barnsy! I'm guessing you don't have the laptop/computer means to play it what with needing to install the simulator, but the offer of a download is always there

Wanted to share this map of the overworld I've put together, I tried to capture that old gaming mag kind of feel that some of you might appreciate!

Also where is AYAMMM Jen?

That looks great, OR! Definitely captures that gaming mag feel.

Another Mario Maker challenge would be fun. Need to make Home Alone 3 into a Mario level, after all.

Great map! When playing it all felt bigger than what that shows - a sign of good design I think!


Oh and I think it's probably too late to try an squeeze a Chrimbo AYAMMM in at this point sadly

The soundtrack for Resonant Tale has been nominated for the Playdate Best Soundtrack 2023 award! Huge congratulations to our own OrangeRKN and the music composer, Rupert Cole .

That's lovely! Hope it can win!

It's very exciting! The competition is also very tough, Direct Drive is basically an album of fully original songs sung by professional singers.

I'm hoping for some more nominations still to come. One of the awards is for games made using Pulp specifically, so that's the one I'm most hopeful about, but no guarantees of course!

Just finished this, thought it was genuinely great. Characters and tone was charming and the adventure was really lean and elegant? Like just the right amount of gameplay machinery, used really well, with dungeons and puzzles that I found really satisfying and concise (no flabby filler). Also some bosses were legit exciting and not easy!

I'd probably say second dungeon was my favourite because of how fun a Dungeon/Overworld hybrid it was, but unsure because really liked some of the later puzzles, too.

Enjoyed this more than a lot of the supposedly acclaimed stuff I played in the last 12 months.

Thanks OR!

Resonant Tale - made by OrangeRKN, of course! - is a nominee for multiple awards in the 2023 Playdate honours.

Categories include Best Soundtrack, Best Adventure, Best Narrative, and Accomplishment in Accessibility.

Very well done indeed, Orange... congratulations!

Thanks both!

It's picked up six nominations so far, with more categories still to be announced. Really building my anticipation for the actual awards show! I think that's happening at the start of next month.

Deserves all the accolades.

Might do another playthrough toward the end of the year. I genuinely think about what a lovely experience it was very often!

Edit: is the award show streamed? Might do a Resonant Tale fanclub restream of it haha.

Last year it was a youtube live stream. I think it's going to be pre-recorded this year but still streamed on release. Will let you know when they actually announce the format as they haven't yet!

Congratulations on the nominations ORKN. Unfortunately I will be voting for Sparrow Solitaire.

Bloody heck OR

Congrats, not only multiple nominations but also massive categories like best adventure and narrative

Good luck!

Thoroughly deserved recognition! Well done OR
