A character I designed for our upcoming Gameboy puzzle game Unearthed!

I have been wading through tons of difficult code with my partner @gumpyfunction but there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it looks like I'll be able to start working on more story art for the game soon! Very excited. I was proud of some of the scenes I did for the original so it will be nice to expand on that.

Conducted a survey of #GameBoy #Homebrew developers about their experience using publishers. Did a collab with GBStudio Central on an article about the results.

Big thanks to all #GameBoy #homebrew developers who took part in the survey! And GBStudio Central for the collab and @0llie_gb (twitter) for advising on data presentation.

Hope it is useful to people considering whether to use a publisher.

It included people using all kinds of tools - #gbstudio #gbdk #rgbds

Homebrew Publisher Survey

Thinking about going with a publisher for your game? There are now quite a few publishers out there who release Homebrew Game Boy games. We surveyed some developers to ask about their experience and compiled the data. This is a special article from bbbbbr.

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!

Flashed hammered.gb (FX Hammer) onto a cartridge to learn how it works properly. I can tell there will be hours and hours of tinkering with SFX, it's really fun! Such a rad piece of software.
Started an additional Instagram Account celebrating great pixel art in commercial #gameboy and #gameboycolor games :) I'll attempt to post daily as much as I can.
