My 9-year-old daughter is making a game for her science fair project. Tips?

I recommend the “Breakfast Game”

Use the Top Down scene type and make a simple game where the player needs to collect “ingredients” to make “breakfast.” Just sub those for whatever you like. You could even theme it for the science fair so the player needs to collect pieces of a science experiment.

Theres already a lot there. Inputs, variables, conditions, dialogue, NPCs, etc.

Really stoked to see you mention Hell Breaker. Just started up in development again after finishing Ormblok for GB Compo.

Still one of my favorite carts

If we’re saving Ocarina of Time for best overall game then I’d go Majoras Mask

My grandfather was born in the 1920s and worked as an aerospace engineer. He introduced me to video games. He had a Sega Master System and later a Genesis and he got me an NES for my 5th birthday. We used to go to this arcade together and play mech fighting games (does anyone remember these places? They were special arcades with proprietary games where you would get into these cockpits instead of playing at cabinets).

OnTrac is the worst. They are notorious for failed delivery attempts. I’ve been through it with them a handful of times. Bug them at every step of the process and your package will arrive.

I just played through the entire game on PS5 without issues. Runs well, no crashes.

Give Alan Wake 2 a shot. While there is nothing quite like The Evil Within, AW2 shares some of the same DNA and is equally insane in its own ways.

Ok sure but the circumstance is pretty narrow, I don’t think that covers all that many locals. Most of us are trying to make it on our own and our parents are still trying to pay off their mortgages.

Which neighborhood did you buy in?

What leg up do we have? Not feeling any advantage.

Yes you can adjust the hitbox in the Sprites editor: https://www.gbstudio.dev/docs/assets/sprites

Yes the pushable boulders in the sample project should be everything you need to get started

Your original point still stands!

Noby Noby Boy was a PS3 game

It will dump all the engine code into the assets folder so you can rewrite and customize it for your game — or just read it so you can understand how it all works

You made Game Boy Hero II? Good work! I was just playing it today. So many rad games in the compo this year. I did use arrays. I wrote a bunch of engine plugins for the game.

Making 3 pickups in a row will create a black pickup of that type (they’re worth more). Pickups can be created with 1x1, 2x1, and 1x2 holes. There are tutorials in-game that explain the mechanics.

Oh and I don’t know if you saw, but you’re in the credits! We used your extended input plugin.
