In each mission, you can challenge yourself to go for an S Rank, one of the many achievements in the game!

Here is a look at the fights in Cappimon, an RPG/Platformer hybrid for the GBC. You don't harm any Cappimon during these battles. Instead, you fight their master while avoiding Cappimon attacks. My intention is to create a system of battling that mixes the traditional RPG fight with something like Undertales more action oriented fights (but with platforming).

You can check out the full demo here:

An intro sequence to Cappimon, an RPG/Platformer hybrid for the GBC. It subverts the familiar Pokemon premise at the very beginning of the game. One might say, right off the... zubat. 😏

The demo is available to play here:

My new Simpsons Fan Game is out!

Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge 2 is a sequel to the wholly unsuccessful, critically panned golfing simulator featured in season 7 of The Simpsons.

In this Point & Click Adventure, you play as Lee Carvallo. Puzzle your way through a series of events in his life. Sleep where he sleeps, eat what he eats, golf where he golfs!

I hope you enjoy!

For a while now, I have been concerned about a trend I see surrounding the public discussion of homebrew titles within the #gameboy scene. This problem is a serious lack of critical reviews of commercial GB homebrew titles.

To address this, I have written a Letter to the GB Community discussing why I think this is the case and why I think this is a serious issue for the overall health of the Game Boy community moving forward.

Who wants to make #gameboy platformer games with slopes?

I sure do!

I also want to see it become a feature of #GBStudio that is easily utilized by devs of all skill levels.

So, I'm putting out a $200USD bounty on a GBS slopes system!

Once developed, We can share the system freely and I will write a detailed tutorial article on how to implement the system.

If you are interested in collaborating or want to learn more, please consider joining my Discord Server.

DANGAN GB2, a bullet hell shmup for the Game Boy Color by Snorpung, just released!!! For those who struggled with the insane difficulty of the first Dangan GB, you will find this sequel is (ever so slightly) more accessible.

Channel 6 News Flash:

Actors André Gregory and Wallace Shawn have partnered up and started their own indie dev studio! They've secured the rights to a little golf game from 1995. That's right, you can expect a sequel to the mildly successful, critically panned golfing sim Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge!

André and Wally are excited to announce 'Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge II' will be out soon for the Game Boy!

My submission for the inaugural GB Pixel Art Jam 2023.

Theme: An Awesome Discovery!

My awesome discovery is GB Studio itself!

I feel very lucky to be part of such passionate community and luckier still to have stumbled upon a piece of software that is not only fun to learn and use but also happens to be free and open source!

This is a depiction of my GB dev journey that first began in 2021. Within are references to my games (some not announced yet).

I've been playing Dangan GB by Snorpung recently. I never thought I would see a bullet hell like this on the Game Boy. No idea how you can get something like this to work within the limitations. I highly recommend it if you haven't given it a shot!

In FEED IT SOULS, there are 25 lost eggs to find throughout the map. For every 5 collected, you can unlock a new palette to enjoy while playing.

I'll be releasing the GBC ROM in a couple of weeks, just before the close of submissions for #gbcompo23

Working on Grimace's Birthday for the GBC for McDonald's was an amazing opportunity.

For the skateboarding levels, I was inspired by Tony Hawks collectibles like the video tape and SKATE letters and tried to translate those fun skating lines through a 3D space into a 2D one.

The second skateboarding level, with its multiple routes to the goal and springs to give the player quick vertical momentum, was inspired by the Sonic games.
