Making modern Game Boy Color games, from Block Droppin to OutRun - with Shane McCafferty

from Retro Titans - the giants of retro and indie gaming in conversation · host Phil Szomszor

Despite being over 27 years old, developers are still making games for the Game Boy Color - and one such game designer and coder is Shane McCafferty. He has been making games since he was 11, but has taken his side hustle and hobby onto a whole new level, releasing 9 Game Boy Color games on ItchIO in the past 18 months.  We find out what it is that compels Shane to make games like Block Droppin, Cave Dave and Word Forward for the Game Boy Color, which projects kept him up at night, and the ones he's most proud of. We also discuss his current project to make a 'What If?' version of OutRun for the GBC.     🔗 YouTube Links: Itch.IO - @egvrooms-game-boy-games BlueSky - @EGVroom X - @EGVroom   🎵 Music: Neon Gaming and Space Technology, by Dope Stuff Robocop (Spectrum version), by Jonathan Dunn
