The layout of an arcade in a Game Boy RPG.

...

Okay. So if the fantasy world in my Game Boy RPG can have high tech teleporters, why not arcade cabinets too?! 👾

Screenshot of a Game Boy RPG. The player character is standing on a tropical beach, looking out to the sea. A strange door can be seen above them.

Screenshot of a Game Boy RPG. The screenshot shows a turn base battle screen against an enemy. The interface shows the players health and mana and the enemies health. The players options are to "Attack, Spell, Use, Equipment and Run."

Screenshot of a Game Boy RPG. The screenshot shows the players stats. Strength = 4. Agility = 1. Intelligence = 7. Resourcefulness = 3. Tenacity = 6. The player has one unused talent point.

One of the fun things about making a real Game Boy RPG is that I can play my game on anything from a Game Boy to a GameCube! I could even pop it into a Super Nintendo! 🎮

I've got the whole chain of story events leading up to where the game starts written up. Some NPCs will randomly tell you pieces of it here and there. The whole picture is never given to the player directly in one go, or even in order.

I don't know how hard to follow all the scattered pieces of world building lore are in my Game Boy RPG, but they're not relevant to the core gameplay experience so I guess it doesn't matter! 📖🐉

True. There's some other little things I'm thinking about removing too.

Thank you for trying it out!

Thank you for the shout-out!

I'll admit that the fee is what puts me off too. I'm not sure how free games fare on Steam. I was planning on maybe releasing my game older game for free on there but with a level editor DLC for a small fee as a way to support it.

I have no experience with releasing on Steam but it's something that's been on my mind.

Are there any plans to release it on other stores such as Steam?

In hindsight, I don't think it made much sense to be able to shoot it anywhere. There was originally going to be more burnable objects but they didn't come to be. It overall felt more deceptively useful than it really was. I think the game's better without it regardless of the limitation issues.

This frees up an extra button too!

I've decided to remove the ability breathe fire when exploring the overworld. It was neat but it caused lag on the original Game Boy, caused sprite limitation issues and interrupted the music. It's only purpose was to burn bushes, which can now be done by interacting with them instead. 🌳🔥🐉

I hope you two have fun!

Just so everyone knows, save files will not be transferable to later builds. I do plan on having a "skip to level 8" feature added to the upcoming test build that starts the player off where the first beta ends.

Heads up!

I'm going to be setting the page for my Game Boy RPG to private soon to prepare it for an updated beta build.

Last chance to try it out beforehand!

That's okay! 😄

Wonderful designs!

Well, there's "A Village" which is it's actual name, so there had to be a "B Village" too! This place is called B Village.

Thank you!

No escape ropes either!

Mission-critical addition:

Best of luck with the bug fixing! I'm sure you can do it!

I've never played Earthbound but I got an idea of how silly it can be!

I thought I caught all the grammatical errors before uploading this clip, but I still managed to miss a "your" that was supposed to be a "you"... 😳

I just had the thought "what if I use the door sprite as an NPC" and it just spiraled out of control from there! 🚪

I probably didn't need sprites for the signs in the game to be honest... 😅
