• First showcase and aiming system rework - 11 June 2026

  I've participated in my first showcase last month in my hometown featuring both the Playdate version and the Steam Deck prototype. To attract player to my booth, I made a giant cardboard cutout of one of the game's iconic characters, Black Jack! There wasn't any tutorial in the Steam Deck version so I let players try the game on the Playdate console first. But even with that, the way to use the joystick felt a little bit unintuitive so I was always there to explain how to play. You don't simply move left or right to aim. Instead, you need to push the stick forward and then rotate it in a circular motion so the angle of the joystick matches the angle of your gun in the game.To address this, I added a fast-paced step by step tutorial with animated prompts and did some playtests with new players.

Looking ahead, I'm also planning to create a brand new original game designed specifically for the Deck, rather than a port, but one step at a time. I hope you’ll enjoy this small, fun game as much as I do. If…
