🏝️ My Friendly Little Island Deluxe is coming to Nintendo Switch on August 29th as part of @caracalgames.bsky.social's GB Archive 🏝️ Whether it's your first time on the island or you are a returning visitor - I hope you will enjoy your stay 😊 #gbarchive #gbstudio #gbdev #indiedev #nintendoswitch

The weather is getting colder (on the northern hemisphere) and it’s time to get cozy (on either hemisphere). If you want to snuggle up and play some cozy GB games, take a look at the Cozy Handheld Bundle😊 8 games, including one of mine. Only available for a couple of days: itch.io/b/3957/cozy-...

Third Eye - my entry for the GB Pixel Art Jam 2026. playinstinct.itch.io/third-eye The theme was the number three and you could only use 4 shades of green and a maximum of 192 unique 8x8 tiles. #pixelart #gbdev #gbstudio #gameboy

Fall from Space has arrived in Blighty and it’s a beaut! Surreal getting my hands on it as a real, physical thing after all those years developing it. The Mitsuhiro Arita art just makes it even more special for me! Available now at www.fallfromspace.co.uk ! #gameboy #indiedev #mitsuhiroarita

Two of my games are playable at gamescom this year 🤩 If you are around make sure to stop by. Both booths are right next to each other in the retro area 😊

I’m excited to finally share the launch trailer for Fall from Space – an open-world, non-linear action RPG for the original Game Boy, four years in the making. More launch details coming soon! www.fallfromspace.co.uk #GameBoy #GBStudio #indiedev #retrogaming

Extremely excited to share this 🎉 I'm currently working on a movie-tie in game for the upcoming horror movie Buddy. Here is the reveal trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6vT... #Buddy2026 #8bit #retrogame #pixelart #gbstudio #gbdev #modretro #chromatic #gbc #gameboy

Yeehaw! Kero Kero Cowboy is now available on afterplay.io, a nifty new browser-based emulation platform, and to celebrate, KKC is 50% off at afterplay.io for the rest of the month! 🐸🤠

🏖Sur la route des vacances ou dans un transat, l'été reste la meilleure saison pour dévorer des jeux nomades et Game Boy. ​Voici notre sélection des 10 meilleurs homebrews Game Boy pour vous accompagner à la plage. ​Plus de détails sur GBrewFR www.gbrew.fr/billets/doss...

I think this platform really has the potential to become the "Steam for retro games".

Lots of progress on the Game Boy Raycasting thing this week🐺 + Smoother + Textures + More rays + Map + Gun #indiedev #gameboy #GBDK2020 #retrogaming #gbstudio #ScreenshotSaturday

I feel like #pixelart is much more about perseverance than about talent 😅 Usually people only post drawings they are happy with. So I wanted to share this as a reminder that art takes time and that you shouldn't get discouraged if you're not happy with the results in the first couple of minutes 😊

Here's a trailer for the new Game Boy Color game I'm working on: Double Duck! 🦆-🦆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fIs...

Not much time left to get this bundle of #gameboy homebrew games. So far I've played through: - Kero Kero Cowboy - Cosmo Knight Zion - 2021: Moon Escape - Pitchfork Each of them was fantastic. Cave Dave is also great but I haven't beaten it yet. Highly recommend this bundle. Enjoying it myself 😊

You Have No Idea What’s Happening on Game Boy Right Now. Come and see and give lots of love to Retronaut who covered the #HHBundle on his video👇 youtu.be/NXz5LobJXKc?...

My Friendly Little Island made it onto the cover of GB Studio Magazine 🤩 @metagamemike.bsky.social Thanks so much for including my little game in the stunning artwork 🧡 Making a spaceship design out of palm trees for the player character is such a brilliant idea! (+ hat ship for Kero Kero) 🤯

The Handheld Heritage Bundle keeps growing! 💪I ⬛️ I👌 ➕ 🎫🎫 🔴🔴 16 Game Boy & GBC games are already in! If you’ve made a GB or GBC game on itch.io, send me a DM for info. Tag GB devs and help us spread the word!📢

This is an absolute gem of a game! It has tons of shorter levels that are really fun. The controls are fantastic, there's a ton of variety to the worlds, unique gameplay moments, plenty of secrets, and great humor too! A really wonderful platformer that easily stands alongside the best on the GBC.

Been sitting on this little story trailer for ages. But the game kept selling out again and again. And it wouldn’t have made much sense to promote a game that is not readily available 😅 Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is now back in stock at #ModRetro and #GameStop. #chromatic #gameboy #gbc #gbdev

TWO SLEEPS until launch day \o/ so final #ScreenshotSaturday for Roguecraft GB💀 Certainly the biggest #gameboy game I've made. It's bursting! Find it on itch -> thalamus.link/roguegb-gbc #gameboy #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #retrogames #pixelart

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

@gbstudiocentral.com has published an interview with me about how my game Buck and the Cursed Cartridge came to be 🌟 Read it here ⤵️ gbstudiocentral.com/interviews/g... #gamestop #modretro #chromatic #gbstudio #gbc #gameboycolor #gameboy #gbdev #cursed #indiedev

The Buck charm that comes with Cursed Cartridge works really well as a Christmas tree ornament 😄 Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates 😊

I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday season has a wonderful day. And I hope everyone who doesn't celebrate this holiday season has a wonderful day too. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

What a nice surprise! 😮 Yesterday, the winners of the #gbcompo25 in the categories tools and music were announced. My entry won the best music award 😍 Thanks so much!!! 🧡🧡🧡 #gameboy #gameboycolor #gbc #gbdev #gbstudio #8bitmusic #gamemusic #gbcompo

Making good out of something bad. Proceeds from Chantey sales until new years will go to research on childhood life-threatening diseases.

Santa came early this year 😍 It still feels absolutely unreal to finally hold the physical release of my game in my own hands 🤯 #gamestop #modretro #chromatic #gameboycolor #gbc #gbstudio #gbdev #indiegame #indiedev

It's so dumb it's kind of funny... My Switch 2 won't let me download a free to play game, because I have already played it on my Switch 1. Instead, it wants me to transfer my virtual game card for that game. So, now I have to charge my Switch 1 to tranfer my license for a free game 😑

Amazing video showing my game My Friendly Little Island in detail 😍 #gameboy #gameboycolor #gbc #gbdev #gbstudio

The biggest project of my life is now released 🥳 Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is an action platformer. Lots of levels spanning different worlds, explorable overworlds, upgradable abilities, unlockable mini games and more. Hope you'll check it out 🧡 #gameboy #gameboycolor #modretro #chromatic

New Trailer for Doomslinger Dungeon, a first-person dungeon-crawling shooter for #gameboy. Great fit if you want to play something #spooky for #halloween 🎃 #gbstudio #gbdev #gbc #gameboycolor #chromatic #analoguepocket www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-XQ...

I've made a pixel grid overlay to make videos and screenshots from my games look more retro. Already used it in my last post. But still not entirely sure whether it's just an unnecessary distraction 🤔 What do you think? #gbstudio #gameboy #gbc #gbdev #retrogames

Looking for a spooky treat for your #gameboy? 🎃 How about Doomslinger Dungeon - a first-person dungeon-crawling rogue-lite shooter? I built this one for #gbjam 2024 in around a week. But I still really enjoy playing this one myself 😊 playinstinct.itch.io/doomslinger-... #gbstudio #gbc #gbdev
