Game designer Aaron (Pikaaroon) today showcased how he built a game to propose to his partner. Having previously worked on Sea of Thieves and Warcraft III: Reforged, he’s no stranger to creating colossal playable experiences. For this incredibly important moment in his life, though, he chose to work with the Playdate. Which I think is the perfect console for this sort of question.

“No Steve, stop trying to always get me to play your stupid video games!”

That’s how that would have worked out for me.

Not the most flattering examples they pulled up of games he’s worked on.

One was a failed overhaul and the other got criticized for not having anything to do when it came out.
