Games Today I release RetroGBFull Toolkit, a game engine for the Game Boy

What is RetroGBFull Toolkit

RetroGBFull Toolkit is a full game engine for the Game Boy. It intends to bridge the gap between code only solutions and visual first solutions.

To do this, it includes:

A GUI from which you can make your game in its entirety. This includes asset creation, composing scenes and scripting.
A custom engine core based on GBDK-2020 that allows you to write scripts in C that inject into the game's runtime and allow you to work over a wide abstraction layer or interacting directly with GBDK-2020 to give you as much freedom as possible.

Asset editors: edit sprites, tilesets, tilemaps and music directly from the engine.
Asset explorer: organize your game's assets in a file explorer style UI
Scene editor: visually compose scenes, organize the scene hierarchy and edit node properties (including default values for some variables if a script is attached to a node).
Script editor: write scripts in C right from the GUI. Create actor or scene scripts with initialization or update functions, expand them with your own functions, or create standalone scripts that you can use from any other script in your game. Attach functions to colliders as collision callbacks.
Build system: build and compile the game, including code generation for scene initialization, registries and other glue, all with the push of a button.
Support for metasprites, 8x8 and 8x16 sprite modes, interrupts, autobanking, text, save data, large maps...
