I made an old school arcade action game for the Gameboy. Can't decide if I should keep working on it

I think they came onto some gbadev irc channel looking for people who had made amateur games, and paid a bit of money for them. They never mentioned it was going on a ps2 / gamecube emulator, or I would have changed the control screens.

A game I made for the GBA e-reader is now available in series 1 at retrodotcards.com . They are available for US and Japanese e-readers (in Japanese or English). e-reader cards are way less available than e-reader hardware on the second hand market, and this is a great way to actually use your hw!

Deleting Instagram was a huge weight of my shoulders. I only ever opened it 3-4 times a year, but it was a massive energy vampire for me for some reason

Another game is joining the card lineup! @shenm.bsky.social has put together a very cool version of snake with achievements and many levels. We are planning to have E-Snake be part of the first pack of cards. Did you know e-reader games can have saves? #nintendo #retrogamedev #indiedev

Does the y position increase as things move down the screen? If so you might need to check the player y < enemy y, and also sometimes good to check that the player is currently moving downwards

If you don't have control over the tile attributes or palette layouts, you could hide sprites in the hblank where the text box starts, and re-enable them in vblank

A promise to do something in the next 10 years = a promise to not do anything for the next 9 years, and hope the opposition is in power for year 10, so you can blame them for failing to meet the promise
