Hello there! The GBJam is quite a ways out, but I wanted to get the ball rolling early to keep up some creative momentum from a previous Game Jam.
I released a “1st Person Grid-based Dungeon Crawler RPG” (https://llamakazi.itch.io/synergy-abyss) for the “Fxck Capitalism Jam” (https://itch.io/jam/fuck-capitalism-jam-2026), and the feedback was exceptionally encouraging!
However, working mostly solo was rather time-consuming, so hopefully I can wrangle a team this time around to help spread out the cognitive & creative load (so to speak)
My strengths mainly lie in Programming & Game Design, but I also dabble in Writing, Art, & Audio. I also have experience leading a team, if you want to simply join up and not really worry about that aspect at all.
I also highly recommend GB Studio, since by it’s very nature it EASILY meets all of the requirements for this Game Jam. The restrictions imposed by the hardware do indeed breed a bit of creativity, after all!
The emulator that GB Studio employs for Web builds plays quite easily on a browser (instant play on itch.io is a huge barrier for most players); it can also export GB ROMs that play on any GB emulator; AND we have the option of going into “Super Game Boy Mode” with “GodotBoy” (more info here: https://greenf0x.itch.io/godotboy-template)
Anyhoo, leave a comment if you’re interested, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
