The Steam Deck is a Dev Dream come true. I’ve always dreamt of making a game for a handheld console, but this is better. Let me tell you why.
Long story short: They say “build the thing you’d want to use yourself” and that’s how I ended up developing an action-roguelite game (ahem, check it out on Steam if you’re keen) with the Steam Deck in mind, starting as early as the prototype stage.
What is a handheld if it isn’t a device that’s used while holding it in your hands?
