If you're saying you want games to be playable in other languages, these GB Studio Central articles should help you figure out how to add languages to your games.
Hey, i was wondering if one day you can make a thing that can make games for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive and the Sega CD/Mega CD (and maybe the 32x) i know its kind of alot but it would be a real dream for something like this
How can I display text that exceeds the 256 characters in the ASCII mapping when the game is running? These texts can be displayed when the game is made, but not when the game is runnin.
On the variable text width font, the blank space is always white, with no way to change it. Please add a setting for the font to choose which color that extra space should be! (My project uses a black background and the white square looks really annoying and the only way to fix this is by typing a really annoying string of text before every textbox)
Great work, the engine is incredible and has generated a huge range of new games in just a few years. Thousands of new titles, I think Master System also deserves attention in this regard.
I will check if the source code is available and analyze if it would be possible to add an extension version for Sega Master System, as it would certainly take advantage of a lot of what is already ready.
I've got an idea. What you can do is make a background with multiple 'screens' and have the camera jump from one screen to the other. For example, I used this background image to give large text a fading effect:
I have a bit of space between the screens because of the way the Game Boy renders backgrounds (it uses a 256x256 tilemap that wraps around for larger scenes). You can fill this extra space as needed for non-static scenes (like I did with the blank stage).
I understand that Gb studio has such limitations, but the choice to have sprites be selected in 8x16 is a little awkward. I honestly would like to know why that decision was made.
Hi. When I tested my game in SGB mode, I get a random and weird palette throughout the entire game, even when transferring SGB packets with a plugin, and the palette changes once you reset. I tested it with BSNES and Mesen, same problem. Might be caused by the Fade Street plugin. Until them, I’ll leave it with no SGB enhancements, or to make the game tell in SGB mode that the X button on the SNES controller should be pressed, and maybe provide passwords for custom palettes.

please add controller suport for the baked in emulator or can some one teach me how
Does pressing a button on the controller not map it to the controls you select in the Settings tab?
Oh, but I guess that would cause problems for web builds because someone else may have a different controller than you.
Please compile it for armeabi processors

Try using multiple fonts and swapping them out as necessary within dialogue events.
Thank you for your reply. I don't quite understand how to operate it yet, but I will give it a try.

Can we see an example?
how to on arm based processor
on linux
You should tackle a project, that will make it work on Chromebook better, or even better yet, make a online version of this through web browser
Can yall focus on a mobile build
This seems cool I just have no coding braincells
I have issue for running in my pc
it showing me this error

is there a option to make gba games
Haven't you read the other comments regarding GBA compatibility?
no
Is there a way in GB Studio to add one scene into another? To merge them together? For example, to change and display character's outfits?
(not my art, just a reference from pinterest)

Wow
I noticed that sometimes actors don't animate properly while they're flickering. Have you noticed this at all?
Please allow us to select small sprites! 8x8 if you please!
Just know that you can only have 40 sprites on screen at once, regardless of whether they're 8x8 or 8x16 sprites.
I understand that Gb studio has such limitations, but the choice to have sprites be selected in 8x16 is a little awkward. I honestly would like to know why that decision was made.
The final boss in my game uses 24 sprite tiles, not including the prop actors used for attacking the player.
This could not have been done if the scene used 8x8 sprites.
