That's one of the reasons we "outgrew" GBStudio pretty quick. Another was just being able to have a sprite *in front* of the player sprite. This was a good 4 years ago though, and I'm sure there's been improvements since then.

Sometimes, you just gotta add some juice.

This is what happens when rom0 overflows (for the thousandth time) but only by like 5 bytes btw. #homebrewproblems

Well it looks like a great solution based on the limitations! And thanks, we are excited to get it in the hands of others! :)

I know it's been a while since we've posted, but know that we are hard at work on the game. For example, how do you like our title screen?

My mental checklist is *just fine* thanks! 😀
(No but seriously I've made lists in our discord but really they should just be in something I can keep organized so good tip)

We now need just 12 pre-orders to ensure production of Game Boy Color β€œRusty Flesh”.

Definitely appreciating all the mechanics so far! Ours is a more "straight forward" mega man style game, but we *are* planning on having hidden upgrades throughout the game ala mega man x, so I hope by the end game we'll have a similar diversity of movement. Regardless, keep up the great work!

Nice! I love the warioware games, I made a (pretty bad) ware-like myself years ago, but not for gb, that's all the more impressive! πŸ‘

It's my birthday! And do you know what an amazing gift would be? Buying my #gameboycolor physical game! It's on pre-sale now on @homebrew-factory.com and if we get to 20 copies sold, it will become a reality. πŸ™πŸ™‚

Gah, I wish we had time this year but *points at self*. RoL started out as a gbjam game years ago after all. Congrats on finishing!

Wait a minute, a maker for an nes game? So is the game itself in an nes emulator wrapper that is somehow surrounded by the maker executable? I am *so* curious about the inner workings of this!

And if it isn't clear, the connection to Decline's Drops is that one of our dev team members ( @modalmodule.bsky.social ) is the composer for that game! (He is the programmer/level designer here but we'll make a separate post explaining our roles in detail)
