Catalog is the official storefront from [[Panic]], accessible both on-device and on Playdate's website, allowing people to purchase and download a curated selection of games. It was announced on the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPTX8GESzZY&t=199s Early 2022 Playdate Update], and officially released on March 7th, 2023 alongside [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr1_f-Q8Klw Playdate Update #3].
'''Catalog''' is the official Playdate storefront, accessible on-device and [https://play.date/games/ online].
 
Some games are [[:Category:Catalog Exclusive|only available on Catalog]] or feature Catalog exclusive content such as online leaderboards, a feature exclusive to Catalog and [[Season One]]. Games on Catalog also benefit from direct to device downloads and automatic updates.
 
Catalog games are generally released in batches, with a new "drop" every other Tuesday at 10am Pacific time. New drops are indicated by a blinking, aqua-colored light on the Playdate.


Unlike other Playdate game storefronts such as itch.io, Catalog features a selection of games hand-picked by the Panic team, including games made by Panic members, as well as games from third-party Playdate developers. Some games are brand-new and exclusive to the Catalog storefront, while others may have released elsewhere previously, or still be sold on other platforms such as itch.
The Catalog library is curated by [[Panic]] and developers can [https://devforum.play.date/t/new-catalog-submission-form/10765/12 submit games for consideration].


Catalog's games are released in batches called "Drops", updated every other Tuesday at 10am Pacific time. The Catalog can be visited either on a Playdate device, or [https://play.date/games on the web]. New batches of games are indicated by a blinking, aqua-colored light located on the device's Lock button, which lights up after checking in to Panic's servers.

===Trivia===
 
<br>
==History==
• Scenic Route Software and Strangest.io are tied for most games released on the Catalog. Scenic Route has published Shift, Greed, Generations, and Post Hero; and Strangest.io has published Shining Gadget, Shadow Gadget, Necrocrisis, and Snoik!.
 
<br>• Only a few other devs have multiple games on the storefront: Neven Mrgan ([[Hidey Spot]] and [[The Barkless Doctrine]]), Pixel Ghost ([[Life's Too Short]] and [[Time From Earth]]), Cadin Batrack ([[The Botanist]] and [[To Dust]]), fatnose games ([[Along Came a Spider]] and [[The Crank Gym]]), and Dustin Mierau ([[Playmaker]] and [[Crankulator]]).
Catalog was announced on the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPTX8GESzZY&t=199s Early 2022 Playdate Update], and officially launched on March 7th, 2023 alongside [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr1_f-Q8Klw Playdate Update #3].
<br>• Drop 7 is so far the only drop to not follow the release pattern, as the intended drop date landed on the 4th of July; a national holiday. The drop was instead released the next day, and the schedule was back to normal by the next release day.
 
<br>• [[The Lushes Land]] was originally meant to be released in Catalog alongside Drop 8, but wasn't able to be included in time due to last-minute legal/financial complications<ref>https://discord.com/channels/675983554655551509/675983555209330691/1130912520119517244</ref>. It was placed into the Coming Soon group temporarily, and officially released in Drop 9.
==Trivia==
<br>• [[Faraway Fairway]], [[Quantum Phantom Basketball]], and [[Oom]] were all funded by Panic.
* Scenic Route Software has published the most games on Catalog with Post Hero, Generations, Shift, Greed, Four Corners, You're Gonna Miss the Bus!, Lillybug, and Shift II.
===References===
* Drop 7 was pushed from July 4, 2023 to July 5, 2023, to not fall on Independence Day (a national holiday in the US).
* Drop 11 was pushed from August 29, 2023  to September 5, 2023 so the games wouldn't clash with the then-running PAX West event.
* There was no drop on January 2, 2024, due to Panic being on holiday vacation at that time. Instead, there was an "extra" drop on December 12, 2023 — in between the two regularly-scheduled drops.
* Drop 25 was pushed from March 12, 2024 to March 14, 2024, so as to not clash with the release of Mars After Midnight or the store-wide anniversary sale.
* [[The Lushes Land]] was originally meant to be released in Catalog alongside Drop 8, but wasn't able to be included in time due to last-minute legal/financial complications<ref>https://discord.com/channels/675983554655551509/675983555209330691/1130912520119517244</ref>. It was placed into the Coming Soon group temporarily, and officially released in Drop 9.
* [[Faraway Fairway]], [[Quantum Phantom Basketball]], [[Oom]], and [[Pullfrog]] were all funded by Panic.
* Panic-published Playdate titles are typically released on their own, outside of any drops. [[Quantum Phantom Basketball]] was released on August 31st, 2023 due to its spotlight at the PAX West event, and [[Oom]] & [[Pullfrog]] were both released on February 20th, 2024.

Catalog is the official Playdate storefront, accessible on-device and online.

Some games are only available on Catalog or feature Catalog exclusive content such as online leaderboards, a feature exclusive to Catalog and Season One. Games on Catalog also benefit from direct to device downloads and automatic updates.

Catalog games are generally released in batches, with a new "drop" every other Tuesday at 10am Pacific time. New drops are indicated by a blinking, aqua-colored light on the Playdate.

The Catalog library is curated by Panic and developers can submit games for consideration.
