I want to see a side scrolling platform game about a baby chicken that falls out of a meat truck and his mission is to save his family. But when he gets there he’s too late. Make it colourful and similar in appearance to DK country

Heeeey! Creator of the Swordbird Song here! Thank you for reviewing my game! I particularly loved your quote “the dialogues are funny but have a depressing undertone to it “ this is so precise! Hahah

[@moondoor9031]

Your game look beautiful, congratulations. It looks like a really fun game to play.

[@st1ka]

Hi hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I loved your game :D

[@manamaster6]

I don't usually like Zelda-likes in 2D, but it seemed nice. Just by the video here it appeared to have a lot of work behind it in both the animations and game design; programming within the constraints of a GBC must be challenging.

Believe or not, Grimice's Birthday isn't the first McDonald's game on the GBC. That would happen to be McDonald's Monogatari which is basically a McD RPG.

[@codyanderson5396]

​@@BastetFurry McDonald's in the US takes part in some shady practices that includes requiring franchise owners to use a specific ice cream machine model that is purposely designed to break down so that it constantly requires a tech from corporate to fix. Most franchise owners can't afford the constant repairs so they just leave the machine broken.

Very awesome. But... I don't think super old is fair... To me.

[@PsychoNerd92]

​@@Liminal-Escalator Fun Fact: The release of the original Game Boy (1989) is closer to the Moon Landing (1959) than it is to today. Time marches ever onward.

[@st.haborym]

@@Liminal-Escalator It's literally the very first handheld. How is that not old? lol

[@Liminal-Escalator]

@PsychoNerd92 well that puts things into perspective. There was definitely an adventurous and more down to earth perspective in the 80s and part of the 90s... There was a 60s revolutionary spirit and ethos... But I feel that those in charge of the propaganda and mainstream media saw this and they started up certain types of music genre popularity. And I bet the music being free and easily acceptable online is a psyops to get their opinion out faster and easier to combat the revolutionary music... Those who decide the accepted social norms decide the opinions and beliefs of the masses.

yeah some people told me some of these games are using stock GB studio music. A shame

[@Cuprite1024]

@@st1ka Eh, it makes sense. A lot of these games are made by solo-devs who may not have any understanding of music (Like myself). That being said, I don't think GB Studio even *has* stock music, aside from a single track (Which I didn't hear once in this video). It's all just stuff that's community-made as far as I can tell.

Oh they're all on itch.io I think hime's quest is the only exception 😅

[@hamishfox]

Honestly I remember going to a McDonald's birthday party one time and one time ever as a kid and it was so fucking good I think it is the only birthday party I remember at all from my childhood. The fact that we were taken to some secret room (aka just the meeting room in a McDonald's) and given so much McDonald's themed ice cream and cake. As a dumb kid that shit blew my mind. I felt like we were being let into a secret world and being given anything we could dream of, when in reality it was just an office room we don't usually see and "anything we could dream of" was TWO cheeseburgers instead of one.

[@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments]

A McDonalds in the city my dad lived in had an old Train caboose that they held the Birthday Parties in, it was a bit unique. They also had a really big and nice play place with Nintendo 64s. That McDonalds probably did a lot more birthdays.

[@st1ka]

I've never been to a McDonald's birthday party. It wasn't a thing in my country back then

[@superbros64deluxe]

Crunchyroll has a console publishing licence for thier streaming app, I wish they'd put Hime's quest on modern platforms...

You didn't understand the maps in Goodboy Galaxy Scensrios are actually world so, they are spheres and the mapa tries to make a 3D respresentation of a sphere, which is impossible and leads to a weird map, like the real Earth Maps Good vídeo btw, more of this pleas. Very fan of your videos

Hi St1ka, I love your videos, I'm the guy obsessed with 8, 16 and 32bit looking sprites, I also recommended Tuned heart to you. maybe you can make a video about modern games with NES aesthetics or graphics. Games like: - Bloodstained curse of the moon 1 & 2 - Lycanthorn I & II - Lords of exile - Cybershadow - Ruin valley - Darkest abyss - The Transylvania adventure of Simon Quest - Shattered ninja - Infernax - Odallus: The dark call Or maybe, how about a video in the same vein as your Wizardry video, how about a video of dungeon crawler games? although these games are not everyone's cup of tea and may seem boring. Games like: - Undernauts labyrinth of yomi - Stranger in sword city - Touhou artificial dream in arcadia - Demon lord reincarnation - Labyrinth of zangetsu - Kowloon high school chronicle - Vaporum - Wizardy remake - Etrian odyssey - Legend of grimrock 1&2 - Labyrinth of refrain coven of dusk - Labyrinth of galleria the moon society - Mon-yu defeat monsters... (title is WAY too long, just search that) - Core crossing - Path of the abyss - Islands of the caliph - Legends of Aberland I & II - Moonring - Quester - Dungeon master nexus (saturn) - Zanki Zero: Last Beginning - Eye of the beholder 1&2 - Ruzar: the life stone - Star crawlers - The quest - Skullstone - Hibernaculum - DeathKeep - Lands of Lore - Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession - Ravenloft: Stone Prophet - Menzoberranzan - Ultima underworld unity - FlyKnight - Monomyth - Caves of Qud - Cogmind - Dark days ahead - Disillusion ST - King's Field: Return to Melanat (remake of KF 1) - They speak from the abyss - Labyrinth of the demon king - Lunacid - Dread delusion - Etrian odyssey (You can get an HD collection of the 3 DS games on Steam.) - Class of heroes 1 & 2 (for the PSP but soon will be available on steam, or at least the first one.) - Elminage original (for PSP but also on steam) - Elminage gothic (same as above) - RASKOPNIK: the trench warrior - Lunatic Dawn: Zento e no Michishirube And Lunatic Dawn - Book of Futures (I don't know if these two count as dungeon crawlers, but they are two pretty interesting games, they are non-linear RPGs with randomized worlds and they are amazing for the freedom the game gives you, you can be a hero or a villain, Lunatic Dawn is an interesting game series and not many people know about it.) There are literally hundreds of good dungeon crawlers out there.

Ayy Goodboy Galaxy, noice. Not only one of the nicest lookin’ GBA games ever made but one of the first games I finished this year after being keen on it since it first hit Kickstarter. Imade a short animation durin' the campaign Maxwell says "Oh biscuits" a few times as well dye to bein’ hyped. And the devs ended up adding that saying to the game multiple times, which will never stop being one of my favourite things and make me smile whenever I read it haha. The game itself's a damn fun lil romp too, pumped for the wider-screen Switch port. Among a lot of other rad games in this here vid I love seein' Mayor of Sanctuary mentioned, NaraMakesGames is super talented and a champ. Same goes for GumpyFunction, got some real good feedback on stuff I made from him once I always appreciated. And Repugnant Bounty will forever make me utter “mmm soundtrack” when I hear it. And both Elvies and Izma are some kinda wizards or alchemisst or somethin’, always get me mind blown when I play somethin’ they’ve made.

Y'know if you managed to do this a few days later, you could mention that the finished-but-unreleased Kien for GBA is geting released later this year. I saw the trailer on RPGamer - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipqUhp9mrpuNmbM&pp=ygUVS2llbiBHYW1lIEJveSBBZHZhbmNl I find Nintendo homebrew to be a boring little microcosm of the lamer aspects haunting the modern indie scene in general; hyper focused on Metroidvanias and Zelda clones. So I'm not particularly thrilled with modern GB and GBA games thanks to that lack of variety, but I appreciate you plumbing the depths to highlight stuff regardless. I mean, at least I get to learn about stuff like Annihilator or Powa, or be _reminded_ to check out stuff like Goodboy Galaxy. Another great video, St1ka!

[@st1ka]

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened thrice

[@mrtesticlease4638]

I bet you got stuck running around in a circle in Treton. NOOB!!!!!!1 jk, but a lot of people get lost there. The game is fairly open for a metroidvania, and theres not a lot of hand holding. Repugnant Bounty for sure isn't for beginner metroidvania players lol. I hope you'll play through the rest of the game though, a number of your gripes are addressed later in the game with various upgrades, and the world can be tackled in many different ways once you know what you're doing. Have fun on the final boss though :). I will take your criticisms and run with them for my next game :)

[@st1ka]

Ah makes sense ^^

[@jtspgs1986]

so a BIG question i have is...where do you find new games for retro platforms? i would love to put new life into my old systems but i don't know where to look.

[@Mankey619]

I didn't know that they're still making games on the handheld, and I gotta say that its incredible. All of these games are so amazing, and it makes me want to have a GB. Is there any other way to play these modern GB games.

[@thedeadpoolwhochuckles.6852]

Emulators on your phone or computer.

[@st1ka]

They are and it's super awesome! :D

Great video and compilation! You should see my new 3D GBA game!

[@st1ka]

Oh what's your game?

[@st1ka]

Oh I've seen that. Sadly I'd need to wait until an actual game is made 😅

[@LandonEmma]

Modern Gameboy games are weirdly disgusting sometimes

[@st1ka]

It comes with the territory of being indie

[@strain42]

The Game Boy aesthetic has always been one of my favorites. It's why games like Mario Land 2, Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite, and Pokemon Crystal are some of my favorites. I'm not sure if this game ever actually got a proper "Game Boy" release, but I recommend checking out Squidlit (and the sequel) I met the devs at a con and they were super nice. It's a charming little platformer that put in a lot of effort to remain faithful to the Game Boy style! Great video, my friend!

[@AlexandruLipan]

Guess am gonna put new batteries on my purple unmodified GBC

[@st1ka]

Enjoy:D

[@CountryAzHell]

Great video! Never heard of a lot of these, I’m gonna grab em! Thanks!

[@st1ka]

hlad I could help! :D

[@placebo_yue]

goodboy galaxy is amazing. The puzzley aspect is a bit irritating for moments, since you can easily get lost and not find whatever item or spot you needed to progress.. i wish they gave a little bit more emphasis to shooting things. But overall it's wonderful and i like it much better than many games from back in the day

[@MarcelMartos]

0:28 I need to know: Which game does this screen belong to? I want to play this game. Is it from Melting Apartment or another game?

Who is that lady on the thumbnail? I couldn't find her while skimming across the time bar.
