After the forge of 31 days where pixel art consumed my life (and improved my analytics), it seemed like such a perfect segue for this month’s latest challenge! But this one has a bit of a twist! Instead of learning about ONE homebrew game engine, I’m learning TWO!
THAT’S RIGHT
I’m taking this time to deep dive into NESmaker and GB Studio! It’s been a blast playing around with them tutorials for both engines and tinkering with the mechanics of them. I can definitely see uses for both. Also, there are folks that help you with flashing your games on physical media!
You heard me correctly.
YOU CAN PLAY YOUR GAME ON REAL CARTRIDGES FOR YOUR NES/GB HARDWARE!
For the NES, there’s Infinite NES Lives and insideGadgets is for Gameboy/Gameboy Color. I’m so tempted to try and make a game just to have it in cartridge form, but I’ll wait til later for that. You know I have a playlist of all the stuff I’m doing and we’re still a little over halt through with the month! Check the link below! I’m 22 Episodes in and going strong! Enjoy the vids and I’ll see you again soon!
