GB Studio -- A Free GameBoy Open Source JRPG Game Engine

GB Studio is a recently released open source MIT licensed game engine for making JRPG style games for the Gameboy. Able to export ROMs as well as Web Builds.

Basically it's RPG Game Maker for GameBoy and it's pretty freaking cool.

Screw Unity and Unreal. This is the future!

I'm loving these micro game engines that are introducing some new, fresh ways of building games.

The idea of making a game, and being able to actually run it on a Gameboy flash cart is amazing

[PinkShades]

Holy hell! Props to the creators for making this open source. Stuff like this usually costs a left nut.

Damn, they just stole pixel game maker's whole life. I'm with it.

wow I've always wanted to make my own gbc rom (it's so amazing to see the work that went into making games on different devices, also kind of humbling to see the kind of freedoms we have with game dev in today's hardware | game engines | frameworks)

1. While I am very unlikely to start developing games for GameBoy, the visual layout of the scenes was actually nice and kinda helpful in thinking in term of scenes and triggers, so this video will help me with developing in Godot, for example.

2. It would be really cool to see this type of tool for more recent consoles. I think a Genesis version or a Super Nintendo version would be welcomed by many.

3. Can someone make an N-Gage emulator already?

[DNU]

this is pretty cool, hopefully in the future the concept can expand to other genres like platformers and... uh... not-platformers

Now someone needs to make a SNES Studio. Imagine being able to make your own Secret of Mana clone.

[YunierViada]

OMG YES! THIS IS AWESOME! WILL CREATE SOMETHING ASAP

[breaktheboxgaming]

This is pretty awesome. I'm not sure if I'll use it for long, but I downloaded it anyway. Thanks!

[baldipogchamp]

Holy sugar beans! This looks really, really cool???

[Pridetoons]

Just like NES Maker! Also Checkout the Gaming Monsters Tutorials on Gameboy Development.

i have a hacked a nes classic with a gb emulator so this is perfect for me !

[itsasecrettoeverybody]

The niche of the niche. I would love a more generic well polished SDK with an assembler compiler (the C compiler available for GB's Zilog Z80 is buggy as hell, I've tried it before), nice documentation, tiles and sprite editor, etc. everything built in a single SDK interface.

[erazor]

this has potential if we get an exe exporter and refine it to do more than just top down adventure games then this has a place in the market

[MilkerMurphy]

I wonder what the limitations are for this.
I mean, how big can you make the game before it overloads the GBC.

No combat or possibility to code combat besides editing the source right?
