Field notes
The page labels the project “In development” and invites visitors to sign up for launch news and early-bird pricing. Its proposed workflow is tactile: write a Lua game, flash it to the console, then hand the device to someone else. Although a “Specs” section is listed, the extracted material does not include hardware details, so the sub-$50 figure remains a target rather than a listed sale price.
