Yeah, I've seen the number of GBDK based Game Boy releases on itch go up around ~ 2-4x depending on the week. Used to be very manageable to keep up (about ~1.3 per week), now it's too much.

It has save profiles, so updating a game doesn't automatically start a clean save if you don't want it to, and you can switch between profiles.
It runs gbtoolsid on every ROM, so you can see what a game was built with (GBDK, RGBDS, GB Studio and so on) and which version.

Nah! In C using GBDK (I'm new to Game Boy stuff, but I used to make homebrew games for other consoles in c or c++ all the time)!

I know it's not really innovative or anything. But I'm having a blast making a minesweeper clone for the Gameboy.
Most tools I've tried for GBDK seem to be Windows only, or be web based. I wanted a more "all in one" offline solution, so I'm trying to make my own.

A side result of this, btw, is writing a sparse GBDK-ish compatibility layer (including png2asset😅) for the functions needed by Petris. So in theory porting other GBDK based games to the Loopy might be slightly easier if they're not doing anything too fancy.

Setting aside quality and all other aspects of it, the volume of AI GBDK games on itch now makes keeping up with cataloging all games made with GBDK (for my compulsive archival purposes 😅) kind of too much to keep up with. And it seems to be accelerating.

Cool idea! CrossZGB could be a candidate. And true, unless a project is designed for portability from the start, moving to other platforms can be trickier if hardware are assumptions baked in (even within ones supported by GBDK).

I bet it wouldn't be pretty 😅. But if there is any interest an "export" script to generate build files for other platforms from a GBDK project would be cool. (Or more realistically CrossZGB, I bet most of GBDK projects are pretty tied to GB)

How many times have you renamed a project?
Before I named my match-3 game for the Game Boy Color PROJECT STARGEM, it went through quite a few names: Gemification, Gem Session, and be JULES: All have “gem” or “jewel” in the name.

楽曲に関しては、3chとnoiseCh、3ch目にサンプル音源仕込む形にして、曲は作り直しです。
あとGB Studio辞めて、GBDK-2020とPythonでやります。
GBStudioでは512KBでしたが、リメイク中の現在容量は256KBまで圧縮できました。ミニゲームも入れます。
