This game is built in GBStudio. A great tool for making GameBoy and GameBoy Color games.

Just FYI, the GameBoy has some pretty big limitations as far as music and sprites:

- 5 sprites per line, 10 sprites max per screen. Max 192 unique 8x8 sprites for the background layer.

- 4 colors per sprite can be used, but 1 of them is a transparency. So really only 3 shades of green.

- 3 channels of music, 4th channel can be used for sounds, but I don't use it as it produces screeches pretty much, lol.

I have a short little video up showing the opening theme music and a working logo. After that I have some screenshots of some scenes I created for both battle and some of Greater Faydark and Northern Felwithe.

For the programming, I have the combat, 2 spell casting and 2 skills programmed. NPC monsters roam and can respawn after death. You have a level, experience, player stats, and equipment. (Press the start button to view them.)

Here's a playable demo: GB EQ v0.0.0.1 Alpha (newgrounds.com)

Most of my time has been learning what works and what doesn't work as far as sprite and sound limitations. Now that I've learned, I plan on speeding up development.

Any comments, concerns, ideas, let me know!

Kodi has given me a huge run around with updating the addon, this is why tons of addons stopped being updated. Their addon team has basically scared away all the devs. So no more Newgrounds Kodi plugin.

The iOS and Android app UI has been an on-going learning process for me, same with when I initially distributed the app and all the rules Apple and Google have for their app store. Specifically with NSFW items.

Today I'm going to be discontinuing the project for a few reasons:

1) The cached database has reached 1 million tables. Which is too much to handle for my server. I would have to go with a flat DB like MongoDB and maybe split it between portals (movie, art and audio).

2) Not allowed to monetize the app.

3) Can't do any fun stuff like allow uploading of new content, post on forums or login to an NG account. This is only because the NG staff don't want me making post requests to their website.

The web scraping software I developed is archived at https://github.com/erfg12/newgrounds-scraper

If you plan on using this software, I recommend also developing a cache system to pull data from as querying the NG website too many times will trigger their anti-spam system.

The mobile apps, mobile web app, Kodi plugin, etc. have all gone through a huge change. I went from pulling the data in the mobile apps to pulling the data in a central API location using a REST API. After Newgrounds went through the huge website change I decided there had to be a change so that when the website updated their code, my mobile apps could all be fixed in 1 central location. Now that all the apps were fixed and re-uploaded, it's time to make another drastic change. 

I have made a caching system so that I can re-design the apps. Before I was limited to just what the website was displaying instead of caching all the data so I could have a different design for the apps. After this is completed, I will take a look at the apps designs and re-do them. I know the Android UI is pretty terrible as most of the reviewers have pointed out, so I might tackle that one first. Then fix a small bug in the iOS app where if you double tap on the media you want to view the app crashes.

As we speak I am mocking up the new app designs, and finishing up the cache system. New updates will follow. Oh, and I will be removing all in-app advertisements and placing a Newgrounds Recruitment banner for people to help donate to Newgrounds in-app.

Fixed all the new HTTPs URL changes on newgroundsmobile.com but I'm pulling the mobile apps from their marketplaces for now. I want to find a way to unify the code to make it easier to make updates and move forwards with new features.

It's been pulled several times from the Google play store because of adult content... but I got it back up again.

Here's a little program I decided to make to enjoy all the newgrounds Art, Movie and Audio portal content on your XBMC/Kodi setup!

If you go to the plugin settings you can login with your credentials to view adult content, and you can adjust any of the filters in there as well.
