My favorite game from #gbcompo25 has to be OrmBlok by @jeltron.bsky.social and @technofantasy.bsky.social. What a fantastic spin on a classic game!

I just beat Unearthed for Gameboy Color and loved every second of it. The puzzles are smart and very satisfying to solve. The story and the bleak, oppressive atmosphere are brilliant. Game is beautiful. Simply one of the best games of the GBC. Thanks @jeltron.bsky.social & Gumpy Function.

Today we share a fantastic deep dive into the story of @jeltron.bsky.social, comic book artist and game creator. Ben's work focuses on handcrafted experiences that prioritize player agency, realism, and emotional impact. Check it out! hitsave.org/from-comic-b... youtu.be/dmGnhdhOytI

A minor update to my #Playdate game "Sound Mind" that's still hugely satisfying: I finally replaced the placeholder animations for the bookcases. Keen-eyed viewers will notice that the secret passages create a space that doesn't make sense, but that's okay because the game doesn't make sense.

"Recent" Collector Update: This was a release I was waiting for: Unearthed by @jeltron.bsky.social via @limitedrungames.com - a great concept, as I said already back during GB Compo 2021 😁

New Video! Finally checking out some Game Boy Homebrew again! Game Boy Homebrew In 2025 Is Insane! youtu.be/dQWCCmC5xuY

Deuxième test du week-end, je m′attaque aujourd'hui à un gros morceau, la compilation Metamorphosis collection de @jeltron.bsky.social qui est à mes yeux le meilleur jeu d′horreur disponible sur gameboy. www.gbrew.fr/tests/test-m...

OrmBlok is a new arcade puzzle game for Game Boy Color. Made with love in GBStudio by @jeltron.bsky.social and myself for GB Compo 2025. #gbdev #gamedev #gbstudio #gbcompo25 #homebrew

Happy #franticfriday for those who celebrate! Here's some footage of the first zone of Buzz Bumper, a pinball platformer for the #gameboy color, made in #gbstudio. DEMO coming soon! pearacidic.itch.io/buzz-bumper-...

Ben Jelter and I made an arcade puzzle game for GB Compo 2025! I am super proud of the work we put in. I hope you enjoy the game and I am excited to see what everyone else did for the jam! #gbdev #gbstudio #gbcompo25 #gamedev

To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the release of Unearthed, we are doing a sale until the end of August! benjelter.itch.io/unearthed/de... #gamedev #gameboy #gbcompo

A new game frin @jeltron.bsky.social has just dropped! I know what I'm doing for the next couple of hours. 🕹️ benjelter.itch.io/first-contac...

I loved it. I′ve done half of the endings, it′s a great game.

I’m incredibly excited to share that my Game Boy Color game, Self Simulated, is now available as a physical boxed cartridge! modretro.com/products/sel... I really hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it. ❤️

I've been secretly working on a new game that just dropped and you can order it today! It's a story focused puzzle exploration game that takes place on an interstellar spaceship. modretro.com/products/fir... @modretro.bsky.social #gamedev #gameboy #chromatic

And now for something completely different!

I've been working on games nonstop for a while so I haven't done a lot of other important stuff. Just wrapping up another game so I took the time to add Unearthed and Metamorphosis Collection to my website: www.benjelter.com #gamedev

You may not know this but in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic I made a 4 player game that plays a lot like snake: benjelter.itch.io/tapeworm-tan... I feel like maybe people didn't get to try it because of the pandemic. If you like snake, try it out!

@jeltron.bsky.social it’s beautiful!

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social vtdigger.org/2025/04/17/i... Apparently Michelle Zajko's lawyer released a 20 page letter but I can't find anywhere that published the full text. If you can get it, I think it would be in the public interest to make it available.

Phew! 44 fonts for GB Studio and retro dev! A variety of styles and sizes and with .ttf files too! 2bitcrook.itch.io/44-game-boy-... #pixelart #gbstudio

A fan made a totally custom 'The Machine' Gameboy SP! If you have any cool stuff like this, I'm always interested! Credit: Andrew Ferraiuolo https://aferr.github.io/ The game: https://benjelter.itch.io/the-machine #gameboy #gamedev #retrogaming

Started working on a little tank mini-game to be included in my next game. It's pretty fun! I may be biased though. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #gameboy #retrogames

Playing dq9 on a ds I found in the trash

And here we have the two intro pictures for the partner of Number Four, the robot Tin-Head! 192 tiles as usual and captured with the Analog Pocket that I think is the best place to do it. Now my goal finish the maps of the first dungeon!

I liked this review of Metamorphosis Collection. If you missed it last year, it's a horror anthology that includes Opossum Country & 2 other games. Specimen 134 is the biggest game by far. https://www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/metamorphosis-collection-review #gameboy #gamedev #retrogaming

Back in the UK now! Returned to find another excellent issue of @gbstudiocentral.com magazine all about @gbstudio.dev games

There's an era of games I think of as the 'Navi tutorial' era when tutorials took way too long to read because they didn't let you figure things out. It's usually a character serving as a tutorial too. This trend reversed and modern games are more tolerable. I don't know when the peak was.

I didn't realize the gofundme had been shared here but Andrew here has been amazing in setting this up for me

One of my former students lost his family and house in the fire. He's a great guy so please help him out if you are able to. I shared this on Facebook but I don't think it showed it to anyone. #EatonFire #LA www.gofundme.com/f/help-jorda...

Have been busy polishing my GBC game over the past few weeks! Points are added now (longer slimes = more points!), and thanks to sub maps, the field is updating much quicker. :) Also happy with the Retry/Quit menu, it turned out to be a huge time saver during testing! #gbstudio #gbc #gameboy

We started a retro 8bit/16bit game dev and demoscene related starter pack! Please help expand this list and let us know if you or anyone else should be on this list <3 Thanks for sharing! 🕹️👾 go.bsky.app/Fsty2vQ #retrogame #retrogamedev #c64 #amiga #sega #atari #demo #demoscene #8bit #16bit

Was messing around with something called submaps today in GB Studio. It's a very powerful tool for making menus more easily! This is for a project that I don't know if I'll even be able to finish. #gamedev #gameboy

I'm an Xcom player, you can't fool me.

@localthunk.bsky.social I think there might be a bug in the saving for the android ver of Balatro. I unlocked the anaglyph deck but it didn't record that I beat the black stake. Sometimes I am in airplane mode but I don't know how it could get out of sync when only played on a single device.

Some months ago the Saltenpepper team and I decided to finally give up on the game project, none of us had enough time or resources to put into it and i realised i was completely done with it. I'll put together a book of all my work on it as a send off. Here's some never seen stuff in the meantime

Way back in 2019 I discovered a program called GB Studio & made a game for a 2 day game jam called The Last Employee. It was about AI taking people's jobs and is far more relevant today than it was when I made it. Was I psychic? No, I just understand how capitalism works.

Fun summer job: reworking the snow-covered architecture tiles

Some more old low-poly 3D model work to show off here. The textures came from a screen grab of the Slug Girl episode of Junji Ito Collection for Yuko's face and a page of the original manga for the snail. #Blender3D #Lowpoly
