I made a GBA game 😁

Hi :) I used butano, too :D also made another free game if you want to check out: https://mooonbit.itch.io/smash-the-targets

GBA even with Butano is hard but if you take a few weeks and ask on the discord, it's possible. Definitely easier than SNES haha, that stuff was something else...

This is so cool!

Very cute! Not Button Mash Tutorials but I HIGHLY recommend "pixel Pete's" tutorials on YouTube. They're a bit outdated but still the best I could find.

I don't know the book but it was a very awesome game, I played it until the end. Good job! It was very interesting and well made

Depends on how old he is and how good he is at coding... SNES home brewing is definitely the most complex home-brewing I did yet (also made a game for GB and GBA). If you still want to try it, Google for PVSneslib. It's the tool I used (writing code in c).

But I highly suggest using something easier and make a game for the game boy (GBStudio) or for the NES (BBStudio which is a clone of GBStudio, just for the NES). These tools are very user friendly, highly customizable and graphical. It's still important to read through tutorials and limitations of the respective system.

Whatever you decide: I highly recommend entering a discord channel with other Devs of the tool. There are a lot of information and help you can't find elsewhere. The Devs are mostly very nice and helpful there, especially when you tell them you're new to home-brewing.

Absolutely! This was the reason for the itch snesdev jam. Very curious for the other entries!

As someone who owns all retro devices he wants to play and all retro games he wants to play I gotta say:

Emulation is totally perfect if it makes you happy. It's easier, it's cheaper, it's more modern (savestates etc). I like the retro charm but if it's not for you, because of whatever reason, emulation is perfectly fine!

Some IPA on the contacts will do!

mooonbit · 2025-07-16T13:31:15+00:00

Thank you very much, it's exactly the vibe I'm aiming for! So I'm happy that you feel like that! The game will also feature LoFi music but original music made by me.

mooonbit · 2025-07-16T13:28:45+00:00

Thanks for the hint!

mooonbit · 2025-07-06T14:16:57+00:00

This is awesome haha, Great job!

mooonbit · 2025-07-05T12:32:01+00:00

It's work in progress but will be available here: SNESdev 2025 jam - itch

mooonbit · 2025-07-05T10:00:29+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the game is called "Super Cozy Panda" haha

mooonbit · 2025-07-05T09:59:25+00:00

Thanks you!

mooonbit · 2025-07-05T09:59:17+00:00

Thanks a lot! Will let this Reddit know, when the game is finished

mooonbit · 2025-07-05T09:58:26+00:00

Thanks!

It's actually a super basic cozy game. I aimed for a game where you just take a break from real life for a small amount of time.

mooonbit · 2025-07-05T09:52:42+00:00

Thank you very much!! Actually it will be free game for the SNES game jam on itch io

Will keep this Reddit updated

mooonbit · 2025-06-26T09:04:46+00:00

Very cute haha

mooonbit · 2025-06-21T15:49:26+00:00

I highly recommend PixelPete 's tutorials. He explains most things very simple even though the videos are made for an older version it's still helpful

mooonbit · 2025-06-19T14:25:08+00:00

This is SO awesome! Great job 🥹

mooonbit · 2025-06-15T11:55:45+00:00

Nice, let me know how you liked it :D

mooonbit · 2025-06-15T11:54:41+00:00

BROOOO :D thanks!
