Trying a new look for the environment of my Beat-em-Up! #gbstudio #homebrew #gameboy

Ishmaru - Retro Game Developer @ishmaru.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Main Screen and Basic gameplay loop for my #gameboy color #homebrew #beat-em-up "Lost Realm: Arena" Does this look like something you want to play? #GBStudio

Adding a new large scale enemy to my Gameboy Color Homebrew Beat-em-Up! It's interesting making a complete set of animations, somehow fit within sprite limits for such a large enemy. I think it came out well! #GBStudio #Homebrew #retrogame #Gameboy

I had someone complain about the framerate of a Gameboy Homebrew. Like seriously, what were they expecting??

Ishmaru - Retro Game Developer @ishmaru.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Progress, added a new enemy type, and a dynamic HUD. Not sure how far I'm going to take this prototype, but Its shaping up real nice. :) #GBStudio #Homebrew #Gameboy #Retrogame

I'm experimenting with a Beat-Em-Up homebrew prototype for Gameboy Color. Added various types of attack, and 3 Lanes of combat you can jump between. Still WIP Made with #GBStudio #retrogame

Want fast paced #RWBY combat? Check out 'Ruby: Huntress of Vale' a free fanmade game! There is tons of battles to experience between 3 story chapters, arcade, and arena modes, lots of grimm, mechs, and villains to fight against! ishmaru.itch.io/rwby

The models are made in an old version of 3DStudio Max. Turned off anti-aliasing and turned up self illumination. The rest is a lot of trial and error, tweaking proportions to look good in such tiny resolutions.

Y'all should give this demo a go. I think it has really promising and unique ideas.

An updated version of the design I had for Ruby in my old RWBY fanfic, Shadow of Remnant. It's been cancelled, restarted and put on hiatus for awhile now. Been considering reviving the idea for a bit though. What with Vol. 10 actually confirmed I have been getting the RWBY itch again. #RWBY #Art

Ruby Rose from the western anime slash web series R W B Y, pronounced Ruby. Specifically a fan redesign of the character for a fanfic series.

I may not be anywhere close to the talent and skill of Monty Oum, but his passion into his work certainly inspired me to do something new, and I grew so much as an animator from it! Monty greatest legacy will always be all the people he inspired. Happy Birthday Monty Oum! #RWBY #MontyOum

I'm working on a gallery shooter / RPG hybrid for the Gameboy Color. Play as a mysterious girl who wakes up in the remains of a once vibrant city swarming with hostile robots. What happened to the city, who is she, and why are these robots out to get her? #homebrew #gameboycolor #gbstudio

After seeing some Gameboy cart shaped pin merch for Glitch's new show #Gameoverse by @rubberross.bsky.social I was inspired to prototype what an actual Gameboy Color game could look like. Built in #GBStudio, this short ~10 min proof of concept plays on emulators and can even actual hardware!

Remember this? I just found out by accident yesterday that it won 3rd place at that Jam. Back in December... A little more direct heads up, like a DM would have been nice, instead of an unpinned forum post after months of inactivity. I'm guessing it's far too late to claim my prize now...

I heard you like classic arcade games, so I put an inspired arcade game inside my homebrew GBC game! From "Debriz" Coming soon! #GBStudio #retrogame

I've been making a few stills for key moments in DEBRIZ a Gameboy homebrew I'm working on. These were all made using my 3D models as always, but rendered out and optimized specifically for a GBC screen. #GBStudio #GameDev

Thank you Monty Oum for, all the epic fights, aura farming, and fun characters! Just as important is to say thank you for all the inspiration you shared with the world! Keep Moving Forward! #RWBY

Even at 32x48 with only 4 color palate she's does her best to still look cute! There's something endearing about the tiny resolution of a gameboy screen :) #gamedev #gbstudio #retrogame

I'm really happy with this new mech enemy :) Sprite is pretty, and the rocket homing movement and impact feels so nice! #gbstudio #retrogames #gamedev

Aside from being very busy with some personal stuff, I've also fallen in love with GB Studio and making gameboy roms. Even with the hardware limitations, I still sticking to my 3d rendered models as a 2D retro style. :) #gamedev #retrogames #gameboy #gbstudio

I'm sorry to hear that. You shouldn't watch it then. At least know that none of this is canon, and all just conceptual fanfic stuff.

I won't spoil anything if you haven't watched it already.

If today's #Deathbattle leaves you an itch for more Ruby Rose, Why not give my free #RWBY fangame "Ruby: Huntress of Vale" a try? Play as Ruby and her closest friends in an alternate story!

Maybe true for experienced devs, but not so much for newbies who need to get their feet wet before you can even know how to do it correctly. Even so you can argue that if your code is modular enough you can go back and refactor without too much headaches.

Ishmaru - Retro Game Developer @ishmaru.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

With the exciting #RWBY v10 news! I hope that the many fan projects that were on hiatus will also spring back! Just a reminder that I'm working on a fan game / AU, will be running a new beta test (2.1.0) for a new game mode, "VS Arena", on my discord server today!

#RWBY #GreenlightVolume10 Meet Inoko, a BG character from V3, I think #CRWBY invited people to design a fit for her & I finally have the skills. I gave her a Semblance, Aura Army & Dust weapons! She can make Aura constructs & mix them with Dust. Inspo Marshal Tianpeng/Zhu Bajie & the Zodiac Ram.

Inoko has purple dreadlocks in a bowl cut, dark skin, tusks/horns curling around from the back of her head, a puffy long sleeved jacket, armored chest plate, scarf, gauntlets, thick baggy pants and boots with Dust cannisters on her hips. Her Soul Soldiers is a sharp looking metal construct in the vague shape of a biped, with shoulder pads, battle kilt and a flate helm & it glows subtly. While Lightning, earth, metal, water, Burn and Ice Dust Swords are on the other side the picture.
