MrElephant said:Joe, with your ability of making a NES gamemaker, I think it would be totally possible for you to make a Gameboy gamemaker as well. It handles a lot of the processes the same as the NES, but a lot of things are different as well. There was even a FC converter that allowed the user to convert NES games to gb, but it could only translate 25KB roms.
I know it's not quite the same, but if you wanted a gameboy game (without figuring out how to hard code all of the assembly) couldn't you just make it on NESmaker and limit your palette groups to all the same kind (grayscale or green-grayscale)? Yes, you would lose out on the better stereo sound. But it is close enough to get most of the same effect unless you are actually flashing it onto a gameboy cartridge.RandomKidGaming said:I would love a gameboy maker + gameboy color maker. You get the option at the beginning of your project if you want this to be mainly for gameboy, only for gameboy color, or somehow both! it would basically be the same thing, except if you picked being able to play it normally on both handhelds, you can switch between them when designing assets!

The problem I have with better hardware is that I'd have to make better graphics. The limited capabilities of the NES make it easier for me to make games. Less colours, less shading, less animations and so on for me to worry about.
CutterCross said:As much as I would love to see something like this for DOS, with the amount of graphics/sound settings and the varying amount of RAM across all sorts of DOS machines, it would be an absolutely insane challenge to find a way to develop an easy-to-use game development tool for all those systems.
What I would personally like to see is a C64 Maker.
