Playdate Goes 3D: Devs Bend Tech Limits
23 Jul
Summary
- A developer created a 3D game demo for the Playdate.
- The demo features platforming and Mirror's Edge-style jumping.
- Ingenuity allows Playdate to achieve seemingly impossible feats.
The compact Playdate gaming device is proving more capable than initially believed, with one developer recently demonstrating impressive 3D capabilities. Cristina Ramos shared a video showcasing a game in development that moves beyond the expected 2D graphics. The demo includes intricate interior platforming and ambitious rooftop navigation, drawing comparisons to the popular game Mirror's Edge.
Ramos stated that she pursued 3D development after being told it wasn't possible on the Playdate, successfully proving doubters wrong. This achievement underscores the unique appeal of the Playdate, where its inherent limitations inspire developers to innovate. The device encourages creative problem-solving, enabling developers to push boundaries and achieve remarkable results.
