Early sneak peek of Hungry Huey's Quest Mode! Each level will have it's own little "puzzle assignment". #gameboy #gbstudio

Just listened to it while I was making dinner, very cool to hear other people talking about the game. Thanks for covering it!

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · 20d

Thank you for playing. 🙏 I recently found someone to collab on sound so yes, the final game will have music for sure!

The site has been extremely slow or inaccessible for 3 days straight, this could have been communicated earlier. For creators, this is an important source of their income!

🍲 New menu cooking!
(And yes, this is all running on Game Boy color hardware :-))

Yup, it does!

A new version of the Hungry Huey demo is out, including 5 digit scores and an option to "cancel your slime". Go try it out now! nielsderijk.itch.io/hungry-huey

OK then, new menu. 🙂
Happy with how it gives the game a bit more charm, the old menu was just too plain for me. If you guys have any feedback (on thumbnails, options, copy), let me know! #gbstudio #gameboy #gameboycolor #gbc

WIP title screen! I have been fighting sprite limitations for over a day, but hey, in the end I got all the colors I wanted! :-) #gbstudio #gameboy

They are actually stabilizing today. I would never use time adverbs in headlines, as today is tomorrow’s yesterday. ;-)

Best Christmas of my childhood

Couldn't agree more. Even people with jobs – including a friend of mine – cannot afford to buy or rent a home here in The Netherlands. Local authorities are even kicking people out if they (temporarily) stay at a recreation home.

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · Feb 23

Timing couldn't be better! :-) I am making a Game Boy Color game called "Hungry Huey". It's a combination between Zoo Keeper and Snake. #gbstudio #gameboy

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · Feb 19

Definitely. A digital release would mean an instant buy for me. I’m sorry for your loss!

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · Feb 19

Just learned about Jeremia and his unexpected death.🥲 Will there ever be a playable ROM? His game looks really awesome.

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · Feb 19

I did not know he died last year. 🥲 Such a talented dude.

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · Jan 26

Good on you man. Welcome back!

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · Jan 22

Not yet! There’ll be an Itch page for sure, but I want to finish some essentials first (like a title screen, tutorial and possibly bg music :)). I really want this to be as good as it can get.

First attempt on a Result screen for Hungry Huey! You can input your name when you ranked 9th or higher. Love to hear your feedback (if you have any)! #gbstudio #HungryHuey

Just finished some stuff I wanted to add during the holidays:

✓ Popping a bubble now clears a random color on the field
✓ Letting a stone break at the bottom row of the field now refills your satiation bar
✓ You can now pick a random “lucky” color for double points (every 5th level)

Thank you!
It’ll be GBC only for sure as I need double VRAM / +128 unique tiles on the screen.

NielsNL @nielsderijk.itch.io · Dec 13

Amazing you achieved this with only 3 (or is it 4?) colors!

Good luck Mike! I backed your game the first day, the first levels look very promising.
@nintendolife.com should write about Kero Kero too!
