The new version of midi2uge now converts massive pad/chords from midi data into single-channel arpeggios in UGE format. You can use this feature to mix multiple instruments on one track conversion too. #8bit #chiptune #gameboy #nintendo #gbstudio #gbdev #gbdk https://beatscribe.itch.io/midi2uge-hugetracker-midi-convertor

How's this pixel art? Please guess what sea creature this is so I can find out if I captured it's likeness. It's for my GB Color RPG SeaTropilis. This is the first enemy for the game. And it's my first real game, I've been working on it for a year but not everyday just every now and then. I've spent a lot of time building the intro now I'm up to the battle engine and first level. All feedback is welcome... DL the prototype for free at https://x-avy.itch.io/seatropilis

Why use a real-time clock (RTC) in a Game Boy game?
- Resource replenishment over real time deters binge play and beat-then-refund
- Cosmetic changes for time of day or holidays
- Spaced repetition in language learning games
- For non-game applications such as a personal organizer

Why avoid RTC in a Game Boy game?
- Increases cartridge cost
- Reduces backup battery life
- Players with screen time limited by time of day or day of week miss important in-game events
- Reduces exposure of your game to viewers of speedrun streams
