Oh hey, I made GB Studio, really cool to see it being used for this :) I've got some nice features in progress for the next version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8UKwV1gJAI

Hi HN, I've been working on an open-source, Electron (sorry) app for creating Game Boy games with no-code for a few years now. Recently I've been making some improvements to the in…

This is awesome. I only made it to stage 5 but love the mix of genres

Very nice! I've been building a drag & drop layer on top of GBDK [1] called GB Studio [2] for making Game Boy games for a few years now. I'm starting to think about how it could su…

I’ll definitely have a look and see if there’s any advantages. Currently using binjgb in GB Studio and been pretty happy with it https://github.com/binji/binjgb

Nice to see GB Studio get a mention, I’m still working away at it after many years! Definitely going to be checking out NESFab to see what I can learn from it. There’s also been a …

As the creator of GB Studio and a fan of Final Fantasy and Frasier (though can’t bring myself to check out that new season!) this is pretty awesome!

Thanks, one of the things I’ve always tried to do (at work, before I started on GB Studio) is make difficult things seem easy and accessible. Though I’d have also told you this was…

As the creator of GB Studio, thanks, really appreciate that! And thanks to binjgb for the excellent emulator. Really cool to see GB Studio being used for this.

If anyone is interested in making their own Game Boy game, I've been working on an open source game maker [0] that adds a UI around GBDK. I'm working on an updated replacement game…

I really appreciate you taking the time to code review the Redux store! This is some really great advice that I'll definitely be implementing. The project has definitely been a big…

I can second that, I’ve just recently started migrating my open source application [0] to use Redux Toolkit and the hooks API (+Typescript) and it’s been a pleasure to use and MUCH…

If it can play Game Boy games I’ve made an easy to use game maker that’s starting to get quite popular https://www.gbstudio.dev/

Looks great, I'm working on a similar kind of project specifically for making Game Boy games. https://www.gbstudio.dev/ I'll definitely have a look at your project for some ideas.

That looks awesome! I noticed that you don't have Game Boy on there, not sure if it's useful to you but I started to make a WebAssembly port of GBDK: https://github.com/chrismaltby…

The author of this article was really helpful chatting with me on Reddit while I was building GB Studio and still working it all out :-)

Hi, sorry for the delay replying, weirdly Electron names the output win32-x64 even though it's only for 64-bit, I think the naming convention is platform (win32) then architecture …

Saving/loading is definitely on my todo list. The game I built this for originally was only small and was intended to be finished in one sitting but I’ll be adding support for savi…

I was definitely inspired by NESMaker, yeah!

I believe I just need to assign a colour palette to each sprite and background tile but it’s something I’ve not played around with just yet. I kind of like the simplicity of the or…

It makes ROM files for the original Game Boy and they can run on an emulator or a real console https://imgur.com/a/oR9aNdK but it also outputs a web build with touch controls using…

Oh hey, Hacker News! Just wanted to say I've been really pleased with how this project has been received, wasn't expecting it to blow up this much! My Github issues list is going c…
