Apologies for the *loooong* silence all, we've all been juggling other projects as well as life in general, but there has been *some* progress here, namely, a boss select screen! Music for it is ready, but you'll have to wait to play the game for that! (Can't spoil *everything*)

With Sega (my former beloved) now jumping on the AI slop train, I'm seeing people say well everyone usea AI now at least for code! No, they don't. And here are 3 starter packs of game devs who don't use ANY AI The slop is not inevitable go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

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? #gbdk #gameboy #homebrew #garbagepalettegeneration

ok screw it, here's the latest on our #gameboy #homebrew project, called Leif DX! Code by me, music by my bro, art by his son. Also, this is using a sound driver to play music/sfx ripped from #lsdj, originally made by the lsdj dev, which I modified to add sfx override capabilities! :) #indiegamedev

And now for one of the other balls I'm juggling, implemented some new enemies more fitting to the theme of this forest level, designed/drawn by my nephew (the artist for this project), which are just ridiculously cute! #indiegamegev #homebrew #gameboy #LeifDX

A Sacred tree, in need of protection... #homebrew #indiegamedev #gameboy #LeifDX #RiseofLeif
Leif, an anthropomorphized tree-person, stands on teal grass, before a large sacred tree, with a twisting trunk, canopy extending beyond the rock walls bordering the image, and with vines drooping down from above, all in the 8-bit pixel art of a game boy color game
