I'm Chris Mandra and Dmitry Zhukov and I created Direct Drive - feel free to ask anything :D and let us know what you thought of the game !
Hi, u/trappedrorschach! Direct Drive is all written in Lua, except the vocal processing part, which is in C. If I'm not mistaken TDHS by Dave Bryant is the only 3rd party tool we're using. As already mentioned by u/katastatik, Awesome Playdate is a great place to start if you're looking for a solution for a common problem, or just want to find some inspiration. 1bit assets are very lightweight, so if something "heavy" can be pre-rendered - it's worth it IMO. Also one can pre-allocate memory and re-use it later to avoid memory "spikes". Hopefully this answers at least some of your questions. Cheers!

Playorama, my video player for the Playdate, is now available on itch
Oh, weird. Would you mind filing a bug with the files you're using on GitHub? That would help a lot! https://github.com/hteumeuleu/playorama/issues
