They disappeared for a couple of weeks and the URL that was around had to be changed, could've been around then. Nintendo has always had a... complicated relationship with fan works, and I'm firmly of the belief that I want things to actually be released and playable on the hardware itself. I fully expected Square Enix to come at me, but it never happened and so much of Don't Nod now being aware and following... well, when the co-creator of the entire franchise approves of how it went, what more can someone ask? ;)

Definitely easy to get burned out. Or be tempted toward other things (Lost Records: Bloom & Rage...), or wishing a newer version of GB Studio with all the fancy new things since 1.21 would work for branching conversations without requiring hundreds/thousands more things added...

All for the love of the game, I guess! :)

I must have somehow checked in those two weeks haha.

I know, that's why I've been writing for people to not download my games, I assume they still have a leash on the base GB stuff. I might be able to figure out getting physical cartridges at some point, I've thought about it but not understood what I need plus it seems expensive.

At least SE seem OK with fan projects. I would assume CING would be OK with my demakes, if they were still about. As long as I don't do a Decollection for another decade or two I should be fine I reckon.
I've always got multiple projects going at once. Need to work harder on focusing on one at a time.

Aren't we on GBS4 now? I'm still on 2, I'm not moving until I've got no WIPs left on 2 XD

I worked on a silly proof of concept just to mess with GB Studio 4 this week and... it felt buggy, overly complex and fiddly. Things like the "tile counter" for backgrounds that when you go in and cut detail out, even if you reload assets, does not update and the only way to make it do so is to close and reopen GB Studio... which for how often you would need that would add so much wasted time to projects. Or things like the platformer mode allowing you to set the player speed command as always... except, it doesn't work in that mode. Literally. It doesn't hide the command in that mode, or tell you it won't work. I found out via a random reddit post.

I have to stick with 1.21 anyway as the later versions cut the basic functionality to do the branching conversations I need.

As far as making carts, I use a GBxCart RW and... super cheap bootleg carts (usually Pokemon...) from aliexpress which can be overwritten with it. People on the likes of etsy offer label printing but after that getting into boxes and manuals etc I've never done.

Extremely satisfying to be able to actually have your game on an actual GB cart, even just for personal use. Feels very real then.

That's fine, I'm still on 2.0.0beta4 XD

When we have some money put aside I'll look into it, I'm hoping to get a multicart so I can put series or trilogies onto one cartridge and just overwrite as needed. I probably won't get into making boxes and booklets, I wouldn't know what to put into a booklet plus it feels like even more crossing the line to get the proper stuff done XD
