Hey everyone! I’ve just released GB Maker.
My dad had a Game Boy when he was a teenager. Years later, I got to play it. Loved the thing. Then he sold it. :(
Eventually I got into retro hardware and console modding, and thought: what if I made my own Game Boy game? I wanted everything in one little IDE. That became GB Maker.
You write Lua-like code, draw sprites, build maps, create music, and hit RUN in the built-in emulator. It compiles everything into a real .gb ROM.
No visual-block programming. You actually write your game.
It’s $5 for Windows and Linux: GB Maker on itch.io.

Happy to answer questions about the language or compiler!
