Nobody The Story of Nothing - GB Homebrew
by on (#158542)
Hi Everyone,

My name is Lyth (some of you may know me from #nesdev, #gbdev and #n64dev irc channels). I'm somewhat active in the Chinese game dev communities as well.


My site is: http://www.booyadev.com

For the last year or so, I have been developing games for the Gameboy. I started out quite small, and still am basic C programming to make these games. (I use GBDK and ANSI C).

I focus on small, text based adventure games, and am also creating a text based Gameboy diagnostic benchmark.

My games are created by using simple, "beginner level" programming techniques (loops, functions, methods, variable declarations, etc), as well as some fancy code for the sound registers and logo graphics. This game uses software scrolling.



I present to you: Nobody - The Story of Nothing


Nobody - The Story of Nothing is a unique text based, minimalistic, "choose your own adventure"-type game for the Nintendo Gameboy. It's written in ANSI C and uses GBDK as the compiler.

The Premise is simple.

Who are you? You are Nobody. What are you? You are nothing. What will you become? That remains to be seen. Will you stay nothing? Possibly. Will you become Something? Maybe... if that's what you wish.

In this game you are not a person, instead, you are an entity. You are not living, nor dead.

Read too much Nietzsche?

Something must be wrong with my head, as I just saw "Nietzsche" on NESdev BBS and misread it as "Nesticle".

So I guess that makes at least three nemo games on Nintendo platforms now: Little Nemo: The Dream Master for NES, Finding Nemo for Game Boy Advance, and now this.
