If you'd like to talk to and hear from other GBA developers, I highly recommend checking out the gbadev Discord, where a lot of them hang out. gbadev.net

A good place to start is the gbadev Discord! discord.io/gbadev

I've worked a bit with (and on) ZigGBA which I think is really neat, though there are other much more mature tool options if you're not looking to dig too hard into nitty-gritty right away

Haven't tinkered with it in ages, but I *think* the TONC guide - gbadev.net/tonc/forewor... - and the GBADev resources www.gbadev.org are still okay intros?

I think they came onto some gbadev irc channel looking for people who had made amateur games, and paid a bit of money for them. They never mentioned it was going on a ps2 / gamecube emulator, or I would have changed the control screens.

My GBADev engine was, that was the type I wanted to make. A side scroller shooter w/RPG elements. Guess those are just called Metrovanias now (?) that wasn't a term. Made Xcom type. We did Barts Nightmare SNES port all the way to alpha before it was canceled by FOX. That's going to be a cartoon.😅

It's #ScreenShotSaturday, and I no longer use pngs for sprites!
I now get all pixel information directly from aseprite files, saving me export time and less manual definitions all around :)
