For some reason, the button to add a new script is gone on my GB Studio. I tried to reinstall and that did not help. I thought it might be my project, so I created a new one and the button is missing there too.
Has anyone seen this before? I couldn't find anything when searching for a solution.
Adding to this - I just tried to delete a script to see if I hit some kind of limit (highly unlikely as I only have three scripts). Now I only have two because I can't recreate the one I deleted.
I would love to see something like Game Boy Studio, but for creating games for Windows with greater music and graphics options. I really like the ease of use to make something like a Zelda game, but the PC is my platform of choice. If you know of something like that--or have plans to make something like that, please let me know. GBS is awesome, by the way.
You have Pico8 , PQ93 and TIC-80 just with "Game Boy" alike... To move on to other genres you have tons of options , from GoDot, to RPG Maker, and even trying to use one of those obscure engines (there's one for making zelda games and other one for making warcraft 1 and 2 type games)
Excuse me, I have a doubt when trying to use the portable version in Windows 10, Windows Defender blocks it because it detects it as a potential risk to the system. Is this application safe to use?
I noticed that if I have an actor firing bullets with a wait, if I repeatedly press start the bullets are fired continuously without pause. I cannot solve this in any way. I have noticed the same problem in many games made with gb studio.
I'm in love with this little game engine. Great work, thanks for adding to the list of things people can use to pick up game development now, as well as making it a unique concept!
My game has a problem where some of the projectiles either use the wrong spritesheet or are part of the wrong collision group or both. Is there a way to fix this, or will I have to wait until the next update?
Hi Levi, I've not come across this issue myself but if you could submit a ticket at https://github.com/chrismaltby/gb-studio/issues and provide as much information as possible, preferably providing a sample project that shows the same problem and we'll can look into fixing this
I was just thinking that since the newest version supports background tile priority, maybe you could alter the sample project to showcase that feature by applying tile priority to the arch over the bridge in Sample Town.
This is very cool looking. I've been on itch.io for a while but was not aware a system like this was evolving. Looking forward to checking it out. I've developed a couple of games with my own C# engine and am always on the lookout for ways to get young people into game creation as easily as possible.
I just think about how to get some tiles from other room and teleport to current location?! Because I need in left side different costumes and in right side different rooms
You can actually run these on a 3ds if you have custom firmware and convert it to .cia and install it with FBI. For my Game Boy games on my page i put the Virtual Console .cia along with the standard ROMs for people who actually have a Game Boy or GBA, or those who might want to play it on other consoles. Check it out!
Yeah, if that were to happen it would be very watered down and not as good because Windows is better fit for apps like this, while Android and iOS are not suited for an app like this. Even Roblox studio is only on PC.

hmm, perfect
Are there any plans to implement exporting to .exe or .aab? Would love to be able to re-release a game I built in GBS 1.0.0 on the Play store.

Also confirmed the same thing happens in light mode
FIGURED IT OUT
Just make the side panel bigger - for some reason the button disappears at a certain size. All good now.

They are not the same in terms of ease-of-use.
bruh it says GB not nes
Oh.
for me im on chromebook and am using linux and it doesnt work for me any suggestions on ow to deal with the problem I would love some help.
Are you using Linux terminal to it? Did you tried to use flatpak to install it?
Excuse me, I have a doubt when trying to use the portable version in Windows 10, Windows Defender blocks it because it detects it as a potential risk to the system. Is this application safe to use?
yes
thats when a program hasnt got a verified publisher attached to it, which normal people dont have because you have to get them from microsoft
Very cool! What's the license for content made on your engine?
The engine itself on github is under MIT liscense, so I suppose the games, are free of charge at all too. It's up to you.
I noticed that if I have an actor firing bullets with a wait, if I repeatedly press start the bullets are fired continuously without pause. I cannot solve this in any way. I have noticed the same problem in many games made with gb studio.
I've noticed that too. It won't have that problem if you attach a timer script instead, but you can only have four timers running at once.
thanks for the reply, all the projects I have seen so far have this flaw, I will try to use timers
how can you add an icon for it as an ap

This looks cool! I can't wait for android version xD

Just a suggestion, take it or leave it.
Good idea!
Wake up Baby, the slopes are here
Finally, I can make my own Game Boy games

Also as this says I should send it, I am doing so ;)
How can I change the language to English instead of the one used by my OS?
It's great to see the block's priority. But I'm still not going to update so I can finish my game on the previous version!
As a note to those trying to run this on Linux Mint:
Run it through the terminal with the --no-sandbox argument.
I can’t wait to try the update, I just hope the plutform plus plugin still works

You could try using GBVM to swap out the tiles.
This article will explain how.

or just get TWiLight Menu++ and emulate it
TWiLight Menu ++ is useless when you can foreward nds games to your home screen and virtual console exists.
Can I also expect to get a andriod port in future?
I don't think so.
Yeah, if that were to happen it would be very watered down and not as good because Windows is better fit for apps like this, while Android and iOS are not suited for an app like this. Even Roblox studio is only on PC.
Where 3.1.1?
version 3.1.1 does not exist as a "stable" release as it was a dev build
dont wanna be mean but like, why not just place some random notes?
welcome! gameboy is fun!
idk what to do because the interface is confusing
1. i cannot change colors from the pallets, so i am stuck with the lightest colors
2. where do i add what button does what
Everything requires learning, but when you devote some time to it, everything seems simple and obvious.
Yeah, I’ve already got the hang of it. You just have to play around for a while
yoooo this game engine is so cool people from all ages can finally create their own video games! I personally like this tool it's really creative!
I agree! It's so awesome.
yes it even has features that are unbelievable!!!
Download works without any problems.
oh now it works sorry :P
