Just finished my playthrough of corgsim. Great humor and a good tech demo all around!

Glad to see you're still making games. Your art style has only gotten better!

If you've had a chance to play the game, tell me about it here! Put any text reviews, YT vidyas, or twitch streams in this thread.

This thread is for sharing tips on combat. Feel free to talk team compositions, best point buys per class, positioning, and anything else tactical

Hi everyone! I hope you've enjoyed the jam version of warlore. I intend to do a lot more with this project in the future. I've made this thread for people to offer suggestions or give feedback on the current version of the game. So, what do you guys think?

 Feel free to join the Flarf-net discord for more updates https://discord.gg/dAfzquwru3

Thanks a ton! What was your favorite level? I'm definitely going to be releasing more gameboy games in the future!

Really enjoying this so far. The art is great and the mechanics feel great. I'm just a little disappointed that it uses the stock GBstudio music

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you're asking if I've run into situations where console hiccups interfere with the music, correct?

Well yes, and no. It really depends on the hardware. When I'm making Gameboy music, I'd have to overclock the CPU or set the BPM to even remotely have it affect playback in any meaningful way. There is, however, the quirk of the Gameboy background hum, which comes from the speakers and can muddy mixes. For my final mixes, I get around this by recording the song from an emulator.

For Super Nintendo music, it's a little different. The CPU is a lot more powerful, so the system pretty much never crashes. However, because samples hog memory like crazy, I can sometimes run out of song space if I'm not careful. I get around this by stitching multiple song files together in a game. More annoyingly, if I'm controlling the Super Nintendo with a keyboard, sometimes the notes don't register that I've let go and ring out for eternity.

 I prefer commission based work with negotiable rates, but I am willing to work rev-share in any of the scenarios:

1. You can't afford to pay me at the lowest acceptable rate

2. You have demonstrated that you have made money off your games before. Even $1 counts. I don't rev-share with people who make no money, because there's no rev to share

Hi!

 I'm Flarf, a game dev and chiptune musician based in Ohio. I'm looking to join projects as a Godot developer or a composer. I also offer services in porting games to the Nintendo Gameboy.

Did you know that 90% of "retro styled" music is fake? Many composers may offer you soundbytes that aren't  console accurate using soundfonts. I, however, offer 100% accurate music for the Nintendo, Gameboy, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis. All of my Gameboy music is written using the Gameboy itself!

But that's enough trivia. Let me show you why I'm qualified to help with your game!

Here is the most recent game I have published, so you can get an idea for my chiptune audio and my programming for retro and modern systems: Magnet Mike by Da Flarf, retrokid104

Recently, I had the opportunity to perform chiptune live at GDEX (the biggest Midwest game dev conference): GDEX on X: "Loving these chiptune tracks written on and playing off of an original Nintendo gameboy. Da Flarf is killing it. #gdex2025 https://t.co/nPocrwkgNw" / X

Additional qualifications:

- mentored by Jason Graves (composer of Dead Space)

- Won second place in a game jam

Fellas, looks like we got a Rennaissance man

I, Randal Flarf Sandal, am proud to announce the release of magnet mike: a short and sweet puzzle game for the gameboy. You control Mike, a dock worker that wields the power of the legendary magnet gun!  Use your magnet and your muscles to complete shipments. Break's over! Play the game here:

Magnet Mike - Gameboy Homebrew by Da Flarf

Favorite gameboy homebrew of all time!

heck nah

Any plans for s3xmodit support?

Does it allow projectiles to collide with walls?

This is fire! Just got my gameboy so this is a blessing. Thank you, internet man

WTH Dani alive?

Hi, Cancat Games. I'm Flarf, and I recently got done making my first game, along with its OST, in a week. Under Gunstruction by Da Flarf

I'm very interested in your project, and I would like to be involved as a music composer. I specialize in SNES chiptune, but I am familiar with a variety of styles. Here is a compendium of my work: https://soundcloud.com/da-flarf

Da Flarf on Battle of the Bits

I am also currently taking a course from Jason Graves, the composer of dead space, call of duty, and many other games. 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Good to hear. Thanks for playtesting!

I'm a dev here on itch, and I make music as well. I make authentic SNES music (no soundfonts), and have a soft spot for harpsichord music. My main inspirations are castlevania, mega man, and anything capcom related.

I just exported a linux build.

The repository should be public, but I have been known to accidentally make them private

Thank you!

No way your team got this done in 7 days! This entry is one of the best I've seen. Has the best music of any entry I've come across so far (other than mine of course, JKJKJK). 


I'm surprised at how much playtime you were able to cram into one project! That starting puzzle was a tad buggy so I didn't get to play the actual game part of the game for a couple minutes while fiddling with a mouse. But once I did get to the actual game, it was amazing!

Looks great! How long did that take you?

You are forgiven. Go forth in peace
