Something that I've been wanting to do lately
a year ago
General
I found this program on Itch.io called GB Studio, a program that lets you make your own Game Boy games.

I've always been interested in video gaming and I feel that this is a project I could pursue. My idea is to make a puzzle platform game where you can use power-ups like a grappling hook, a magic scepter, diving gear, a shovel, and a pair of wings to navigate between levels, with some of my characters getting into funny situations. I also want to add Game Boy Printer support so you can use the printed designs as decorations, but I don't think that's possible in the current version of GB studio. I'm in the process of thinking up a plot and looking for some tutorials on using GB Studio because the program is still new to me. Developing the game is going to take some time since I have to find time between work life, development, and learning the program. I stated the project a few days ago and I am not sure if I can manage to finish making the game, but hopefully there's a chance.
EDIT: Game Boy Printer support was introduced for GB studio on September 2, so that's something to be excited for! Regarding game progress, I've made some sprites and the user interface, and I'm currently working on the music. Level design, the story, and mechanics will take time.

I always wanted to make a game too, but it's always the programming that hinders it, and I was never able to get that breakthrough
