Chantey manages to meld Pirates, Metal Music, Rhythm Game Mechanics and RPG Game Elements into a thrilling adventure on the high seas. @gortyncode.bsky.social chatted with us about what went into making the game and its release. gbstudiocentral.com/interviews/c... #gbstudio #gameboy #homebrew

Self Simulated marries fast-paced, electric gameplay with some stunning visuals that really draw you into the narrative. #RetroGaming #GameBoy

The year is 1999. I get a gameboy game for Christmas. The year is 2025. I get a gameboy game for Christmas.

What a nice surprise! 😮 Yesterday, the winners of the #gbcompo25 in the categories tools and music were announced. My entry won the best music award 😍 Thanks so much!!! 🧡🧡🧡 #gameboy #gameboycolor #gbc #gbdev #gbstudio #8bitmusic #gamemusic #gbcompo

Making good out of something bad. Proceeds from Chantey sales until new years will go to research on childhood life-threatening diseases.

Statement on the Indie Game Awards' latest announcement regarding Chantey TL;DR - Chantey's award retracted by IGAs producers over cartridges being produced and sold by ModRetro - Response to a virtue signaling statement by IGAs Director, filled with falsehoods and inaccuracies

I am both honored and beyond excited to share that Chantey and Gortyn Code just became the first inductee into the @indiegameawards.gg Indie Vanguard Class of 2025! A huge 'thank you' to everyone who supported the game along the way! This is fuel in the fire for what's coming next!

Santa came early this year 😍 It still feels absolutely unreal to finally hold the physical release of my game in my own hands 🤯 #gamestop #modretro #chromatic #gameboycolor #gbc #gbstudio #gbdev #indiegame #indiedev

🐉 One Year of Dragonyhm 🐉 It's hard to believe that Dragonyhm was released into the world a year ago today - and we’re still blown away by the love, feedback, and support it’s received since day one. Thank you to everyone who's played, shared, streamed, reviewed, and believed in this project…

This game basically got me into homebrew dev. This is beyond exciting!

Στα πλαίσια της Black Friday, η ModRetro σας δίνει την ευκαιρία να αποκτήσετε την βασική έκδοση της κονσόλας, η οποία διαθέτει Gorilla Glass στην οθόνη, στα 186.99€. #ModRetroChromatic #Chantey #GameBoy #BlackFriday @modretro.bsky.social @gortyncode.bsky.social

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...

So which of the White Witches won best costume this past Halloween season?👀 🕸️⚰️😈 #dragonyhm #modretro #chromatic #RPG #indiegame #gameboy #Halloween

I recently posted on my Patreon about how to sign up to get a test build of what ive been working on if you fancy checking it out!

Metriya's costume! ⚰️🪢 Stories of the old world are still passed down by some Archendi. There are tales of a desert people who wrap their dead, not as preservation, but rather lest the dead wish to ever return. 🧟‍♀️ #dragonyhm #RPG #modretro #chromatic #haloween #indiedev #indiegame

The biggest project of my life is now released 🥳 Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is an action platformer. Lots of levels spanning different worlds, explorable overworlds, upgradable abilities, unlockable mini games and more. Hope you'll check it out 🧡 #gameboy #gameboycolor #modretro #chromatic
