Thanks to everyone from the #GameBoy community this year for the encouragement, inspiration and motivation. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 2026 will be the year Fall from Space is finally released and after around four years of development, I can't wait!

Fall from Space and its demo have been updated to use the wonderful Camera Plus plugin by @kirbyking186.bsky.social, which has given the game a substantial performance boost over my previous janky solution! Download for your #Gameboy over on @itch.io – joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp...

Yet another Dev blog! Save game scumming, combat refinements and additional quests. joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp... #GameBoy

Another Dev Blog and another demo update. joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp... TLDR: difficulty modes have been added to Fall from Space! #GameBoy

For anyone using the GB Sans typeface in their projects, I've pushed out an updated version (Italic weight updated), notes here and free download – joelj.itch.io/gbs-sans/dev... Available in: - Regular - Italic - Small caps - Mini

I can now tick off 'add bouncy mushrooms' from the list. #GameBoy #GBStudio #retrogaming #indiedev

With the majority of the Fall from Space RPG, story and various endings in place now I'm currently working on action levels. Here's a preview of the new 'look ahead' camera which should help with some of the trickier jumps. #GameBoy #gbstudio #indiegame #retrogaming #indiedev

It's not exactly Starfield... However space travel is implemented in Fall from Space (needs a little polish). Visit strange new worlds, seek out new life and civilisations! or just try and land on the sun, it's your call. #Gameboy #gbstudio #IndieDev #retrogaming #indiegame

Some WIP. Also, why do boss patterns take so long to make? #Gameboy #gbstudio #indiedev #retrogaming

I’m pleased to confirm—despite no one enquiring—yes, Fall from Space may work surprisingly well on your E-Ink device! (I actually like how it handles the palette, it’s how I remember my #GameBoy Pocket looking). Download the demo for your E-Reader today! joelj.itch.io #gbstudio

👀 Fall from Space update. #Gameboy

It's been a while since the last one, so here's a new, rambling dev blog with updates on the progress of Fall from Space – joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp... #Gameboy #IndieGameDev

Working on a new enemy/platform for some Fall from Space action areas. Hit it on the underside take damage, destroy it and miss a potentially useful bouncy platform (tiles and sprites WIP). #Gameboy #gbstudio #indiegame #retrogaming

"Tales of Monsterland DX is a truly lovely game" plus a chef's kiss, what a great review from 8bitjoystick! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYIq...

Showcasing four locations from Fall from Space for the #GameBoy. A store in a ruined wasteland. Deep under the ocean of a water planet. Exploring an alien forest and visiting a bustling machine world metropolis. Try the demo here! – joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp... #gbstudio #indiegame #retrogaming

Visit strange worlds in Fall from Space for your #Gameboy! WIP market on the ocean planet of Los, making liberal use of the scanline fx plugin and a few other tricks to hopefully give a 'you're underwater' impression. #gbstudio #indiegame #retrogaming #indiedev
