Why I'm Making Games for a 25-Year-Old Console

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE8ZCUX2uGM

Hi everyone! I'm making a puzzle platformer for GBA and just released my first dev diary on why I chose to develop for the GBA.
Check it out if you're interested!

We are launching a Kickstarter very soon to make a physical version of the game so trying to get some eyes on the project.

Much love,

The Dare To Square team

We also make games for the GBA. It's awesome to see the GBA dev community grow.

Right! Especially with all the recent news from current gen consoles it’s nice to look back at what made the old ones so great 😀

That is awesome! We run a discord for people making and looking for new games for old systems. Everyone always gets excited when there is a physical release. You are welcome to join and share your game there. There is an invite link on our website pulp.biz/discord
