I think this is a very nice peony.

This is Barry. He's a radio ghost. He really wants you to try the demo of Radio Ghosts during the waning days of Next Fest, and to wishlist it if the spirit (ha!) moves you.

Recently acquired a Game Boy Advance SP and delighted to see that the cartridge version of Radio Ghosts works well there, too!

With the impending release of the Switch 2, I just wanted you to know that I’m so ready to win at Nintendo games.

I just wanted to say that I'm proud of the jittery pixel campfire I made for Radio Ghosts.

Perhaps we should be grateful that the wizardess in Radio Ghosts is duty-bound to contractual law.

At Midwest Gaming Classic, I had a Game Boy Camera live feed on my laptop. People enjoyed seeing themselves via that ancient technology. The Game Boy setup was a little haphazard, and didn't invite people touching it. Some people did anyway. These are their saved photos.

One of my other favorite things (besides Radio Ghosts) at the Midwest Gaming Classic is the assortment of vintage #pinball machines—all free play!

Ready for people to play the Radio Ghosts demo and buy the full cart at Midwest Gaming Classic! Stop by and say hi if you’re here!

An example of additional thoughtful and intricately constructed dialogue from this first experiment.

It’s weird where ideas come from. This is a picture of the first “game” I made in GB Studio—just a playground to try out the software, really. But this boy’s ridiculous warning turned into a full-fledged experience once I decided to take GB Studio seriously.

Prototype of a Radio Ghosts cart—one step closer to a physical reality!

Let me know if you’re in the U.S. and would like me to mail you a Radio Ghosts sticker to help weather these trying times.

For Atari dev, check out batari Basic for programming (a flavor of BASIC) and the Harmony flashcart. For NES, NESMaker by @nesmaker.bsky.social has a strong community and also sells carts and flashers.

Here's my Atari game Space Cactus Canyon, published by AtariAge.

Some modern recreations of consoles, such as those from Retron, don't play nicely with SD-based flash carts. To get Radio Ghosts running on the Retron Sq, I had to use the cart I flashed myself.

Then you test your cart on hardware. My experience has been that you should test things on as many variations as possible--sometimes problems will show up on one device that don't show up on others. I have a backlit GB Pocket, an unmodded GB color, and a backlit GB color.
