Music and sound design for Dustin Mierau’s Playdate creation game, Playmaker. The Bandcamp release includes the full bank of sound effects and samples used in-game
Paint, compose, build, record, and dance your way across six playful creative spaces for your Playdate.
Features
- Music: Turn your Playdate into a synthesizer-backed music box with 15 fantastical instruments. Then turn the crank to perform your masterpiece for family and friends.
- Paint: Relax while painting with 15 unique and playful crankable tools. Color with a 1-bit rainbow of shades and patterns, or create your own with stamps.
- Blocks: Snap together a story with 30 built-in block shapes, or design your own stamp blocks. Use shades and patterns to texturize your worlds.
- Stamps: Pixelate your ideas and use them across your drawings, stories, faces, and more.
- Record: Grab sound with your Playdate's microphone, then bend and twist it with AudioBot and its 8 sound effects like pitch, echo, crush, and more.
- Dance: Adjust the stage lighting, set a backdrop, pick an outfit, and... a face?? Then crank your way across the dance floor and into our hearts.
