How to Make a Game for Nintendo Game Boy

Learn more about technical challenges and necessary tools for making a game for Nintendo Game Boy.

An indie-game Designer Doctor Ludos shared an article on making a cartridge game for Nintendo Game Boy. The article was initially posted in 2017 on Gamasutra and consists of 2 parts.

In the first part, Doctor Ludos discusses the technical and artistic challenges that were encountered during the production, like the color palette, world-tiling, and size limitations.

The second part is dedicated to audio challenges and the process of making cartridges. If you are looking to create a nostalgic game for a nostalgic console, you should definitely read both of these articles. You can access them here.

Sheep It Up is an arcade game where a sheep has to climb up by hanging himself to flying velcro straps. The concept is simple, but the game rapidly gets quite challenging, a concept quite similar to Lima Sky's Doodle Jump. You can get your own version here.
