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
replySweet - thanks for your work on GB Studio, Chris. The music, sprite and palette tools were invaluable during development.
replyDid you use the built in GB studio sound engine? If so that's my code :) Always enjoyable when it pops up in places like this. Looks like a fun project.
replyYes, we did. It was a blast using that to make the sounds and music.
replyGot really good at using it by the end of the project. You can listen to the trailer music here. Let me know what you think.

Haha, awesome. And I like all the wacky Mario Land 2 references :)
replyOrdered... along with some other swag.
replyLove HTMX, can't wait for my https://brickboy.xyz/ to arrive so I can get to work!
Amazing, can’t wait to see the first unboxing / let’s play / review videos.
replyIs it a real physical cartridge? How do you get the source code off the cartridge at the end? Or does it give you a passcode to a git repo or…like an NFT with access to the source?
replyIt's a real cartridge
replyThere's a source code reader at the end of the game, tbd if there are transfer abilities, I haven't beat it yet
yep, you'd need to transcribe it
replyWait but where do we get a gameboy?
replymodretro has new ones

you can find cheaper ones on amazon/temu too
The Chromatic is an awesome experience to play. The HTMX 4 game has an auto-loader which immediately drops you into the game at your last checkpoint. Since the Chromatic has no boot screen, you're back in play within a second of powering on the system.
replyThis is too funny, how could I not?
replyHow much did this cost to make/produce?
replyWhatever it cost, he also gave out free copies at BSDC, what an unbelievably cool and nice thing to do
reply"Big Sky Dev Con", not "Better Software Conference" for those who were (like me) initially confused. :)
replySomeone commented in the past few days that the most impressive demo they saw in a conference was LibreOffice running on Fil-C, and I agreed.
However, this took the #1 spot from it (leaving that previous demo in #2) in my opinion. Very impressive, and nostalgic too.
I'll also say - scum gave a presentation which was actually very touching. "Love what you do, care deeply about your projects, be with your family". Combined with everything you already said - pretty awesome stuff
