- RodgerTheGreat 6y agoThe GBJam isn't about making software that runs on a legacy platform; you're using modern game engines, languages, and techniques while imitating the aesthetic limitations of the original Game Boy. (And pretty loosely, at that.) It's a very different style of creative constraint compared to programming a specific virtual machine with limited RAM and not a multiplier or floating-point unit in sight.
- eatonphil 6y agoGotcha, I assumed that it was programming against the original exactly. But I guess the emulators they allow are more flexible/modern takes on the original.
- djxfade 6y agoShameless plug, but if you are going to participate in this game jam, may I recommend checking out GB Studio (https://www.gbstudio.dev/ https://www.gbstudio.dev/). It's a wysiwyg game maker, that produces actual Gameboy ROM files
