Ex-Sea of Thieves developer uses Playdate to curate charming marriage proposal


One creative game developer has used Playdate - the palm-sized, crank-operated console - to propose to his girlfriend.

The developer in question is game designer Aaron Nielsen, who has previously worked on the likes of Sea of Thieves and Warcraft 3: Reforged. Watch on YouTube Nielsen used the Pulp editor for his proposal project, which he said was "a great experience for a coding novice". "But after some playtests I decided to pivot toward a more hi-score-based arcade experience," he said, in which the player would "need to try and deliver the correct 'letters' to their desired letterbox before time ran out".
