Panic announced in March that its staff was moving to work from home. The Malaysian factory producing the playdate had temporarily shut down.
The playdate is finalized and approved by the FCC, meaning it can head into production next month. The planned first season of games for the handheld are locked. More games have been commissioned to be included.
Panic also announced Windows and Linux versions of the playdate simulator. Since the original announcement of the handheld, panic has claimed that every playdate will double as a devkit.
