Just discovered this via the Playdate Squad Discord, but the latest version seems to be missing a main.pdz to play in simulator or on the handheld. I'm not yet ready to cast this aside -- fingers crossed for a fix!
Hi! Thanks for your comment! Ace Angler is made entirely in C, so it does not contain a .PDZ that you may have seen with other games. C games instead contain a pdex.bin file for the Playdate. The other pdex.so file is so it can run on the Linux simulator, which is the platform I develop my games in. However, I would not recommend running the game in the simulator as the accelerometer controls are not very good (it compresses the 3 degrees of rotation into 2 dimensions).
Hi! Thanks for your helpful response! I understand now -- I was attempting to sideload through the simulator, but should have uploaded via the website instead.
Thank you for playing!! I definitely want to expand the content side in a few months time with a raft of unique fish to collect and maybe some extra mechanics during the fishing part to help flesh it out a little more. Hopefully that version will release on Catalog 💜
No cod-plaints here! I'm hooked on it, and that's a fin-tastic thing because I codn't think of a better way-ve to spend my day! This is reely the most reelistic and reelaxing fishing sim on Playdate! 💚
