I was learning cgb programming for a little while. It’s challenging but so different from my day job that I found it refreshing. When I discovered GB Studio I became defeated. I felt that my skill was trivialized. Low-code/no-code won. I tried GB Studio but clicking everything together was not exciting to me. I understand that programming is only a means to an end but for me it is interesting. I considered switching to agb but I see a “studio” in development for that platform also.
I’m not hating on GB Studio. There have been great games created with it. I’m happy that more people are able to create games.
I’m glad I can still make money professionally with my programming skills… for now.
- ekimekim 5y agoI had similar feelings when I first saw it. My response was to focus on making things that you can't using GB Studio - pushing the hardware to its limits, playing with novel control/graphics schemes, doing things that make people say "you can do that on a gameboy?". I was never really much of a game designer so I enjoy this "technical challenge" work more anyway.
