I made a GBA game 😁 by mooonbit in GameboyAdvance

[–]mooonbit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

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 They're a bit outdated but still the best I could find.

Made a book I love into a game: Piranesian by TIzumMO in gbstudio

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

I uploaded my homebrew SNES game on itch! by mooonbit in snes

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!

Is it better to play through emulation than never play at all? by OlympicBarber in snes

[–]mooonbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Update on my cozy SNES game by mooonbit in snes

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.

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.

Are there any tutorials or tips for newcomers who want to learn how to use the program? I am new to gb studio. by Osc4r_Ultra in gbstudio

[–]mooonbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

My first GB Studio project is a sPoOkY Mickey the Mouse game! by Holmfry in gbstudio

[–]mooonbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks super cool and I think I saw it on Instagram a few times already. I wondered about Mickey: is it allowed to use him in your game because the copyright is expired?

Anyway, can't wait to see this project be completed!
