There’s a gb and gbc rom available. It all depends on the device and/or emulator you play on. The color data is baked into the rom and an original game boy or game boy pocket will play both roms just fine in monochrome. A game boy color or game boy advance should respect the file extension and play in mono, but I’m not sure what the everdrive does under the hood. I’m sorry I can’t be sure of the experience. Please let me know how you get on and thanks for playing.

I’m afraid this is down to your emulator/set up. Both roms will play properly on original hardware and in emulators where they’re set to DMG mode. But yes the colour data is included in the rom and some emulators will need to be configured to ignore it. I’ve no plans to publish a build explicitly without it.

Just published an update (v2.2.0) with better support for original Gameboy. I’ve also included a .gb and .gbc versions of the rom in this update (both versions are identical, but this caters for those emulators that pick the support based on the file extension)

Very nice! Just had a play of the demo, lovely work with the transparency effect. Sent you a DM on discord, let’s chat.

Thanks for your suggestion, some of these are possible, some not so much.

Your idea to know which item is selected in the inventory was excellent and I’ve implemented it in the latest release. If you press select on the inventory screen it now lists the equipped item.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks for taking the time to create a video and review the update. DMG version has a few graphical bugs that need addressing.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I hadn’t heard of it before.

Amazing work! Thanks for finding the issue. Which tools do you use to debug the ROM and how did you find bit associated with the Calm spell? That’s a really deep dive.

Nice work and thanks for the offer, but I’ve enjoyed the challenge of working within the limitations of thr Game Boy. Having the game playable on original hardware is one of the appeals of the project.

I’ve seen it before, but it’s hard to reproduce. I haven’t determined what causes it unfortunately.

Please do.

Interesting. Thanks for the detailed feedback. It helps a lot.

Thanks for the detail. It helps a lot.

Thank you for the detailed bug report. I haven’t used the emulator you mentioned, but will look into it.

Thanks for playing the game, sorry it crashed on you.

I’ve been hunting down bugs over the last few months, but as a solo dev it’s hard to catch them all. The screen you sent is part of the crash report in GB Studio and unfortunately, I can’t do much with it.

Could let me know which emulator you were using or perhaps you were playing in a browser or original hardware? If you could also let me know approximately where you were in the game, both pieces of information would help to fix the bug.
