In this month's snail mail letter I will be sharing a learning process I have never shared with anyone before. I think this learning process is a solid way to improve your game boy development process. I hope you can benefit! The letters will mail out on the 15th of March!
Happy developin'

Sketch of site layout
Current site progress
Making hobby websites is so cool. I've been working on this one lately. It's for a customisable virtual pet you can include on your site in an iframe.
This is how it started (sketch before colour research, I'm so sorry) vs how it's going. Still need to tie up some loose ends before it goes live.
my dog can poop now

I'm not very good at music so I have always relied on friends, but I'd like to improve so this is great!
I have to try this process, thanks for sharing!
I always start with harmony when making chiptunes.
Looping chords set the mood for the whole song 🎶
Once that feeling is there, the melody comes much easier.
How do you usually start a track?

Heyo! I decided for this year’s snail mail club letters I will also do an audio reading. Which can be enjoyed free by all members of the club or downloaded in audio and pdf form for $3 if you just want to hear one letter. These letters are designed to help you on your #indiegamedev journey!
If you are making a #gbstudio game that you anticipate will be released in 2026, I want to see it? Please share!
Ahh... how I wish Summer was here! Here's an early sneak peek of Hungry Huey's second world, "Pudding Isles"! 🍮 #hungryhuey #gameboy #gbstudio
Thanks for all the love on my new video! It's already exceeded my expectations! Should I make more? This one took me two months of tinkering #indiegamedev #gameboy #gbstudio
If you ever wanted to hear some of my non-chiptune work, check out this game on Steam.
I made a youtube video about why everyone should make a Game Boy game this year! Please check it out!

GB Studio Font Generator PLUS - Released! - GB Studio - Font Generator PLUS! #gbstudio bluemooncoder.itch.io/gbstudiofont...
This month's snail mail club has a bit of fan art to my favorite farming game harvest moon 64. Here's a sneak peak of the drawing
Thanks so much for the heads up! I don’t have room and would be happy to find it a good home 🤠
Is this something yall would be interested in? @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social
I've been toying with ideas of how to teach people GB Studio in a way that isn't just them following along with a tutorial. Less instructional and more hands on ways that build confidence. Help them create their own custom processes for development. Does this sound useful to any learners out there?
