I truly appreciate it. I put my heart into it.

I got a solid 9/10 review about Self Simulated from @nintendonwr.bsky.social and I couldn't be happier 💖

Wow you guys are fast! Thanks for all your hard work!

Quick update from the #gbcompo25 organisation team: our judges are working hard, going through the ~120 submitted entries, validating them and selecting their favourites.

We plan to release the shortlist next week.

For those of you who don't like that I charge a few bucks for my tools (and feel you need to say something), I'm deeply sorry, they're still charging for food, internet and rooming where I live. I promise as soon as that changes to make all my tools free!

The second game I've worked on that made the cover. Thanks to @attackemartin.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this. selfsimulated.com

GbBBS95 has been played over 2000 times. Thanks to all who took the time to try it. I love to hear the comments that people felt like it took them back to the 90s. In my mind that is a big success for my first game. beatscribe.itch.io/gbbbs95

Inspector Waffles Early Days was released on consoles last week, and it's probably the right time to say it:

It's my favorite game that I've made. ☺️

I know the Game Boy aesthetics isn't for everyone, but I promise you, it's a enjoyable detective game with some fun puzzles.

Your tutorial level should feel like Twin Pines Mall 1:20am.

Where They Might be Giants involved with Dance Yrself Clean, becuase it feels like it...

Congratulations Martin! So happy for you guys!

Was there a commercial for it where the parent looked like some brain-damaged version of Steve Urkel getting hit by it? And then the kid morphed into a cartoon and flew away? Man the 90s were insane.

New dev log talks about some of the inspiration for GbBBS95. Does anyone remember SpyTech? beatscribe.itch.io/gbbbs95/devl...

thank you! i spent a lot of time on that!

The game is really good, nice atmosphere and excellent music.

All About ANSI Art! The online world of GbBBS is based on the real 1990's Bulletin Board System world. In those days if you had a 300 baud modem, your connection could load about 1 line of text to the screen per second.....
