And its crank.
Panic, best known for its range of developer-focused applications and its work on the story-driven walking simulator Firewatch, has announced it is getting into the console business with a novel hand-held dubbed the Playdate.
‘For over 20 years Panic has mostly made Mac and iOS software. Twenty years is a long time, and we wanted to try some new things. To make the most of what we have,’ the company writes by way of introducing its latest, and most interesting, project. ‘That’s why we started publishing games, like Firewatch and, soon, Untitled Goose Game. But what if we could push ourselves even further? What if we could build something? A real something that you could hold?’
The result of that line of thinking is Playdate, a handheld console which most definitely doesn’t attempt to compete with rival devices on specifications.
