Comment on Playdate’s handheld changed how Duke University teaches game designparent

I'd imagine they know as they developed games for it. Their point was the audience size due to it being niche, not that it's hard to test.

ah I guess I sort of elided actually... saying the point I was trying to make. If it's just about showing games off to your friends (which with a course like this is pretty likely) you can point them to the emulator.

yeah if you're aiming to make a proper professional game with aims of making profit... the playdate probably isn't the way to go. But then I recon that's part of what makes it an awesome platform. It hasn't been captured by capitalism yet.
