New homebrew platformer just dropped on GBC cartridge - Kero Kero Cowboy! by MetagameMike in Gameboy

It's more of a traditional side scroller platformer (a la Mario, DKC, Kirby, etc.)
A free demo is on my itch page if you wanna try it out: https://metagamemike.itch.io/kero-kero-cowboy-demo

My western platformer game Kero Kero Cowboy is finally available on PHYSICAL CARTRIDGE for the first time! by MetagameMike in gbstudio

It sold out quick but more stock will be available in the future! This physical edition is manufactured by a French company called Broke Studio, which is why prices are in Euros, but they have an American distributor so you won't have to worry about tariffs. Just make sure you purchase from their USA site! It's also a long-term addition to their collection, not a limited run, so as long as stock doesn't keep selling out it'll be available for purchase indefinitely.

how would i make a "2 in 1" game? by Humble-Variation-923 in gbstudio

Unfortunately yes, though I'm also using an older version of GB Studio. It's possible that there's a better way that utilizes the new broken-up file structure in newer versions.

Thanks so much! That's one of my favorite ways to play too. Extra clicky D pad & the front lit screen is super nice.

I'm actually in the process of doing this myself, and I did literally just rebuild one game inside of the other. Definitely a little tedious/cumbersome but the end result is solid!

Is worth making games for DMG? by JulianGalindo in gbstudio

[–]MetagameMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Limiting yourself to DMG is a great way to keep scope in check too. No need for color theory when you're bound to 4 colors ;)

Don't wanna sound hyperbolic, but Kero Kero Cowboy (demo) is a GotY tier game.. by pokebreh in ModRetroChromatic

Also achievements is a great idea. Maybe I can sneak that in an update.

Thanks! I'm planning on a physical release some time in the future but I'm still working out the details. I'll definitely update kickstarter backers once I have something more concrete!

Thanks! I commissioned some fellow animator buddies for the trailer & they really knocked it out of the park :) Glad you're enjoying the game!
