Hello everyone :D

I'm Simon and I work at Neofid Studios ! We create new games for retro consoles ! :yaysp:
I'm 31 and I started my Gamer life with a super nintendo and a gameboy color, my first games were Zelda ALttP and Zelda Link's Awekening, I got a GBA later, sold second hand with the KuruKuruKururin cartridge included, I spent a lot of time on it! :toot:
My favorite GBA games are Golden Sun, Final Fantasy Tactic Advance, Advance Wars and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, timeless classics :D

My father introduced me to gamemaker at the age of 8, and that's where my passion for gamedev was born. Now I've created an Indiegogo campaign for a new GBA game coded with Butano, let's hope it succeeds!

How do you even mKe GBA games in the first place... I've seen many developers make homebrew apps for said system, and ive always wondered what do you need to do in order to have your game be even ported in the first place.

Devkit Pro comes with example projects that you can edit and compile. It's a pretty good place to start.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
