I really like the original use of the Game Boy, for this project, even if some people will ask the question of "game or book", I would say that it is a reading game ;) . It deserves a nice little soundtrack, but maybe it's a choice not to put one ? Can I know the software with which you made the drawings? 160x144 pixels I guess? Thanks for this original project, and good luck :) .
Thanks for playing.
Not having audio wasn't much of a choice as I don't have a good experience with sound design nor I have any person to help with making/adding BGM to a GB Studio.
For the graphics, I drew them normally with drawing apps and converted them to GB style pixel art using this tool: http://yrlab.zatunen.com/webgl/gbpic/gbpic.html
I wish I had a real Game Boy, if it's not too much to ask can you take a photo of any of the screens with characters on them? I'd like to show how it looks in a real Game Boy device to a friend.
No problem to take one or more pictures with the characters, I'll send it to you later today. Just it's a Game Boy DMG with IPS screen, so it's not the real screen of the original Game Boy :) .
For the musics, I made myself my first ones for my game of the Jam, and that requires really a lot of time, so if you need one for a future game, or even to complete this one, don't hesitate to contact me I could make one for you ;) .
I also know GB pic since very little time, but it's true that it's a practical software, even if I make mine with GIMP, with the Game Boy dedicated color palette ;) .
Ah, I didn't notice it was an emulator. Thanks for the images. It looks real, but now after you told me, yeah, it's not actual GB footage.
Can I have your permission to share these images on social media? (I can link to your page if you want.)
GB Pic is really practical... I haven't tried to make sprites in it yet, only backgrounds, but I think it could work for that too! (I can do pixel art, but it's easier to make detailed art the way I did.)
Thanks for the suggestion about music. I can't pay you, and I haven't decided if I really want to have BGM in here, but can I have you as an option to ask if I decided in the future?
No problem to share my images of course :) .
For the music it was of course a voluntary proposal, so without payment ;) .
I'll try to make a music that I'll see fit to your game before the end of the week, and I'll send it to you, if you don't like it don't use it I'll keep it for one of my future projects, no problem ;) .
I give you my mail : jhumberset@gmail.com , send me a mail telling me you are the creator of "I look around" and I will send you this ;) .
Thank you very much, after you send it to me I'll tell you whether I decided to use it or not.
