Rise of Leif

This is what happens when rom0 overflows (for the thousandth time) but only by like 5 bytes btw. #homebrewproblems

Well it looks like a great solution based on the limitations! And thanks, we are excited to get it in the hands of others! :)

I know it's been a while since we've posted, but know that we are hard at work on the game. For example, how do you like our title screen?

My mental checklist is *just fine* thanks! 😤
(No but seriously I've made lists in our discord but really they should just be in something I can keep organized so good tip)

Oooooo, fps on the gb? Color me intrigued!

We now need just 12 pre-orders to ensure production of Game Boy Color “Rusty Flesh”.
A sci-fi horror puzzle platformer where you switch gravity instead of jumping (guess you could call it a VVVVVV-like!) by @wastelandgames.bsky.social.

⏱️10 days left!

2 weeks in, we still need a strong push to make Rusty Flesh physical edition a reality! And don't forget to take a look at the other amazing active campaigns on @homebrew-factory.com! #gameboy #retrogames #indiegames

Definitely appreciating all the mechanics so far! Ours is a more "straight forward" mega man style game, but we *are* planning on having hidden upgrades throughout the game ala mega man x, so I hope by the end game we'll have a similar diversity of movement. Regardless, keep up the great work!

Nice! I love the warioware games, I made a (pretty bad) ware-like myself years ago, but not for gb, that's all the more impressive! 👍

Ooo, love me a good Metroidvania, will def have to check this out when I'm not too busy working on our game! 📌

It's my birthday! And do you know what an amazing gift would be? Buying my #gameboycolor physical game! It's on pre-sale now on @homebrew-factory.com and if we get to 20 copies sold, it will become a reality. 🙏🙂

Gah, I wish we had time this year but *points at self*. RoL started out as a gbjam game years ago after all. Congrats on finishing!

Wait a minute, a maker for an nes game? So is the game itself in an nes emulator wrapper that is somehow surrounded by the maker executable? I am *so* curious about the inner workings of this!

And here's our presentation from it directly, which also has some yet-to-be-seen things from the game:

And if it isn't clear, the connection to Decline's Drops is that one of our dev team members ( @modalmodule.bsky.social ) is the composer for that game! (He is the programmer/level designer here but we'll make a separate post explaining our roles in detail)

ok screw it, here's the latest on our #gameboy #homebrew project, called Leif DX! Code by me, music by my bro, art by his son. Also, this is using a sound driver to play music/sfx ripped from #lsdj, originally made by the lsdj dev, which I modified to add sfx override capabilities! :)

The player character from our indie game:

ok, stoked I finally got all the screen scrolling stuff I have planned working properly, should be smooth sailing from here! (famous last words haha)
#gameboy #homebrew #indiegamedev #retrogame

And now for one of the other balls I'm juggling, implemented some new enemies more fitting to the theme of this forest level, designed/drawn by my nephew (the artist for this project), which are just ridiculously cute!

You can now get the charge shot as a powerup, but not without a price...

Leif, an anthropomorphized tree-person, stands on teal grass, before a large sacred tree, with a twisting trunk, canopy extending beyond the rock walls bordering the image, and with vines drooping down from above, all in the 8-bit pixel art of a game boy color game

A Sacred tree, in need of protection...

Sometimes it's something as simple as a pause screen that can bring joy.
