A while back I made a GB studio project for a game jam.
Think I made it in less than a day and I wanted to try to polish it up!
My current goal is to make the jam version more optimized and pretty and see if some people like the polished version. Maybe I could try to make a full game out of it.

What do you think about the new look? Some things are still a work in progress, but I personally think it's already an improvement!

It's me, I'm the (Former) Managing Editor.

TL;DR: I'm stepping down as Managing Editor, article posting for GB Studio Central are paused for now, Magazine continues.

Busy working on a huge update for my GB studio character pack over on Itch. The pack already includes a bunch of characters with animation and a 16x16 dialogue box profile pic. In the next update there will be full screen character profiles as shown in the attached images. If you want to know when the update drops, make sure to head over to my page and give me a follow. https://the-pixel-nook.itch.io/gb-studio-character-pack

So this had been a game on my to do list for a while now, but I hadn’t planned on making it so soon. But I wanted to design some game labels for flash carts so I figured I’d start working on this just to make some artwork. Turns out I was able to finish the whole game using a single scene in just one day! A very welcome change of pace after the marathon that was Game Boy Hero II.

So go ahead and play some 2048: https://greatfoohachi.itch.io/2048

Like all my games, it’s free to play and download. Hope you like it.

a game where you must be toasted to win!

the game jam brief was: Self-Explanatory, that being the case the game is best experienced by trial. the game can be played here: https://howdyriceball.itch.io/u-r-toast

I've decided to also demake my 2D platformer from LÖVE to GB! I'm also really happy with the result. This one is gonna be bigger than the last game I posted about so there's only 1 playable stage on the demo for now.

It's on Itchio already: Game Page (playable on browser too)

If anyone get to play it I'd love constructive feedback too if possible! The game is supposed to be hard/frustrating in a similar way to older games.

The game works completely fine if I start from the title screen, but the second I move the beginning scene to work somewhere else it starts doing this. It did not used to do this.

Please consider checking it out: https://platinaxo.itch.io/moxie-graffiti-burst !!!

The demo has been updated too! I'm already working on the next game so I hope to show that off in a few weeks.

What Love Says is a story that focuses on exploration and puzzle solving.

Here is the Kickstarter, in case you want to check it out :))))

I've been trying to create a classic puzzle game for a while now. My current idea involves destroying rows using special blocks, and once a certain number of blocks have been destroyed, triggering special powers. It's still in development, but I'm really starting to like how it's turning out.

​

Due to some technical difficulties, I lost all of my files for the project. I’ve been dreading starting from scratch, but here we are.

Right now I’m mostly rebuilding core systems: UI work, a mock battle system, and reprogramming the procedural dungeon floor generation. The room layout system alone is sitting at around 180 variables for a max of 25 rooms.

Everything shown in the video is still very much placeholder/WIP, especially the terminology. For now, I basically copied a lot of DWM’s menu structure so I’d have a functional baseline to build from, since it’s the main inspiration behind the project.

The battle system itself will probably stay pretty close to DWM though. It’s still my favorite monster battler combat system ever made.

Hopefully I can create something people enjoy.

I haven’t seen many monster capturing games being made in GB Studio, and I have yet to see one actually finished. Probably because of how complex and tedious these kinds of systems become once you start digging into them.

Feels good to finally be working on it again.
