Oh hey, I made GB Studio, really cool to see it being used for this :) I've got some nice features in progress for the next version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8UKwV1gJAI

This is awesome. I only made it to stage 5 but love the mix of genres

Very nice! I've been building a drag & drop layer on top of GBDK [1] called GB Studio [2] for making Game Boy games for a few years now. I'm starting to think about how it could support other platforms eventually so this is definitely a project I'll keep an eye on.

I’ll definitely have a look and see if there’s any advantages. Currently using binjgb in GB Studio and been pretty happy with it https://github.com/binji/binjgb

Nice to see GB Studio get a mention, I’m still working away at it after many years! Definitely going to be checking out NESFab to see what I can learn from it.
There’s also been a fork recently called BB Studio adapting it to make NES games:

As the creator of GB Studio and a fan of Final Fantasy and Frasier (though can’t bring myself to check out that new season!) this is pretty awesome!

Thanks, one of the things I’ve always tried to do (at work, before I started on GB Studio) is make difficult things seem easy and accessible. Though I’d have also told you this was probably impossible before starting too!
I just built it up slowly, making small tools to help me make sense of what was going on while learning GBDK, before I knew it pretty much had something I could package up. I’ve had a lot of help along the way though, untoxa’s [0] engine rewrite, and the work pau-tomas [1] did on the music editor have been especially helpful to the project.
Been a bit absent from the community recently, not had the time, but hoping to get back on it again soon!
I’m always amazed at how many awesome games people keep making though, it makes me really happy as this the first of many failed side projects that I pushed on through to completion.

As the creator of GB Studio, thanks, really appreciate that! And thanks to binjgb for the excellent emulator.
Really cool to see GB Studio being used for this.

If anyone is interested in making their own Game Boy game, I've been working on an open source game maker [0] that adds a UI around GBDK. I'm working on an updated replacement game engine [1] at the moment too that adds, among other things, support for flash cartridge saving (allows you to reflash cheap Pokémon carts), parallax backgrounds, large sprites and a stack based scripting language.

I really appreciate you taking the time to code review the Redux store! This is some really great advice that I'll definitely be implementing. The project has definitely been a big learning experience :)
Very much looking forward to these new RTK APIs. Thanks again for your help.

I can second that, I’ve just recently started migrating my open source application [0] to use Redux Toolkit and the hooks API (+Typescript) and it’s been a pleasure to use and MUCH less boilerplate than the previous implementation. Thanks for your efforts working on this!

If it can play Game Boy games I’ve made an easy to use game maker that’s starting to get quite popular https://www.gbstudio.dev/
