Solo Game Boy Dev Buy TALES OF MONSTERLAND DX – http://www.talesofmonsterland.com Try FALL FROM SPACE (non linear open world SciFi RPG) http://joelj.itch.io/fall-from-space
Excited to share that Tales of Monsterland DX is getting a release this year—as a launch title for the new #ModRetro #Chromatic! Check out the trailer, demo and head over to the @ModRetroHub site to see the rest of the line up (and preorder!) #Gameboy #indiegame #retrogamer
After much deliberation, I finally bought an @analogue Pocket. It arrived yesterday. It is a very attractive device. I'm playing @joeljgames demo for Fall From Space right now.
This one takes me back.

I know that guy
Self Simulated is so full of glitches,... some walls just doesn't work at all! Weird what you can find there. Like this robot, which seems to be a bit lost 🤖 Featuring @joeljgames "Fall From Space", a non-linear, sci-fi ARPG for the Gameboy. #gameboy
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/first… @modretro #gamedev #gameboy #chromatic
Physical copies of Self Simulated are available now — and I’m beyond excited! Discover what happened… and why your mind is trapped inside a robot body, in this precision platformer for the Chromatic and all GBC handhelds. Get yours: modretro.com/products/self-… #modretro @modretro
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
I've been a PC gamer since I got my first computer in the early 2000s. But this thing is different. I think I finally understand what @toferaplays keeps going on about with this @modretro Chromatic. It's so nostalgic but refreshing at the same time. It's so nice to just put this…
I can now tick off 'add bouncy mushrooms' from the list. #GameBoy #GBStudio #retrogaming #indiedev
I managed to shave 40k off the Fall from Space ROM size by rewriting a single custom script (responsible for displaying location names), that’s a good amount of additional content that can be fit in. A reminder of just how much space code takes up! #GameBoy #GBStudio #IndieDev

Awesome to see Tales of Monsterland DX get a mention in @NintendoForce magazine in print, thank you for the great review! #GameBoy #GBStudio

I've updated the GBS Sans typeface with a new mini variant, if it'd be of use, you can grab it here – joelj.itch.io/gbs-sans It now has Regular, Italics, Small Caps and Mini weights to mix and match in dialogue boxes in @GBStudioDev 3 & upwards. #Beta #GBStudio #GameBoy
❤️ How cute is the tiny claw machine game!
最近購入したゲームボーイから 【TALES OF MONSTERLAND DX】 ModRetroと同時注文していた分のソフト🎮 ゲームキャラのチャームが付いているのが可愛い😄 最近ガチャガチャで捕獲したクレーンゲームと一緒に👾 #ゲームボーイ #GB #gameboy #modRetro
"Tales of Monsterland DX is a truly lovely game" plus a chef's kiss, what a great review from 8bitjoystick along with all the other rad Chromatic launch titles! youtube.com/watch?v=rYIqRf…
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
Confirmation that #IndianaJones on PS5 is indeed #PhysicalFraud. Only 20 GB of data on there. Mandatory update. Another great example of how Microsoft "values" the physical format. Check out this video by @RetroGameFutur1 : youtube.com/watch?v=x0P6-q…
Some WIP. Also, why do boss patterns take so long to make? #Gameboy #gbstudio #indiedev #retrogaming
Stumbled on this, thanks @JohnBunday for recording a play through of the (now out of date) Fall from Space demo on a #Gameboy. It shows a couple pain points where I could better sign post what to do. This is really valuable, particularly as a solo dev youtube.com/watch?v=r4eDO6…
