Lastly, here are the trends for toolchains in #gbcompo over time. As mentioned, mostly steady showing continued participation from all parts of the #Gameboy development community.
There's much more of a shift visible in music drivers.
What tools were used to make #gameboy games in #gbcompo23? Very similar to #gbcompo21!
- #gbstudio is main share
- #asm & #gbdk / C have a couple
- #zgb has 2 entries
In chart "Unknown" is likely #asm (#rgbds, #wladx, etc)

Incube8 Games, our main #GBCompo23 sponsor and long-time community sponsor, is a video game publisher and vendor specializing in both digital and high-quality physical releases for the Game Boy family of consoles. They have helped resurrect the development of Infinity, a previously unreleased GBC game, through a successful Kickstarter campaign, as well as provided commercial releases for some of the #GBCompo21 entries, too!
As we're getting closer to the #GBCompo23 deadline, we wanted to give a shout out to our awesome sponsors, starting with @ferrantecrafts, an online shop of tons of retro items, including a couple of titles originally developed for #GBCompo21!
Entry of #GBCompo21 (rank # 4) turned into full release.

The first exclusive will be a test rom of our upcoming game Unearthed. Ever since it won #GBCompo21 @GumpyFunction and I have been working on an expanded version of the game.
See you on the discord! :)
Wow it's been a whole year since our Gameboy game Unearthed won #gbcompo21 !
We've been expanding it a ton since the jam. There's been some difficulties creating something so big and complicated in GB Studio but in the end it will be worth it to have it as a playable GB rom! :)
Thanks to @gumpyfunction for sticking with the project even when the going got tough!
@kojote Nice! Looks to be the same person who did the cool Stunner #GameBoy port for #GBCompo21. Seems they dev for a variety of systems.
Our game jam project is out \o/ This has been keeping me busy for a while.
