In this month's snail mail letter I will be sharing a learning process I have never shared with anyone before. I think this learning process is a solid way to improve your game boy development process. I hope you can benefit! The letters will mail out on the 15th of March! Happy developin'

howdy! new snail mail is live! for any members this is bundled into your membership for free :3 hope you enjoy the audio reading also. These letters are to help on your #indiedev sojourn!

Making hobby websites is so cool. I've been working on this one lately. It's for a customisable virtual pet you can include on your site in an iframe. This is how it started (sketch before colour research, I'm so sorry) vs how it's going. Still need to tie up some loose ends before it goes live.

my dog can poop now

a thing i did to learn how to edit the engine. i'd love to do something like digimon world one day #gameboy #gbstudio

I always start with harmony when making chiptunes. Looping chords set the mood for the whole song 🎶 Once that feeling is there, the melody comes much easier. How do you usually start a track? #littlesounddj #lsdj #chiptune #gameboymusic #musicprocess #trackerworkflow #8bitmusic

woohoo! My newest snail mail letter is almost done with production! I start working on these letters months in advance so they can be jam packed with useful and fun information about making an indie game, especially for the game boy! #gamedev #gbstudio #indiegamedev

Heyo! I decided for this year’s snail mail club letters I will also do an audio reading. Which can be enjoyed free by all members of the club or downloaded in audio and pdf form for $3 if you just want to hear one letter. These letters are designed to help you on your #indiegamedev journey!

If you are making a #gbstudio game that you anticipate will be released in 2026, I want to see it? Please share!

Ahh... how I wish Summer was here! Here's an early sneak peek of Hungry Huey's second world, "Pudding Isles"! 🍮 #hungryhuey #gameboy #gbstudio

Thanks for all the love on my new video! It's already exceeded my expectations! Should I make more? This one took me two months of tinkering #indiegamedev #gameboy #gbstudio

If you ever wanted to hear some of my non-chiptune work, check out this game on Steam.

I made a youtube video about why everyone should make a Game Boy game this year! Please check it out! youtu.be/zWbA7aBNT7U?...

GB Studio Font Generator PLUS - Released! - GB Studio - Font Generator PLUS! #gbstudio bluemooncoder.itch.io/gbstudiofont...

This month's snail mail club has a bit of fan art to my favorite farming game harvest moon 64. Here's a sneak peak of the drawing

I've been toying with ideas of how to teach people GB Studio in a way that isn't just them following along with a tutorial. Less instructional and more hands on ways that build confidence. Help them create their own custom processes for development. Does this sound useful to any learners out there?

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam. 1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike. 2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game. So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!
