Game Boy homebrew scene alive and well thanks to the open source GB Studio
GB Studio is a free and open source cross-platform game engine, that allows you to make fully-features games for the classic Nintendo Game Boy.
Worth noting there's a "Made with GB studio" tag on itch.io

I think there's been a few game jams around it as well
I had no idea about this, will have to give it a try
Same! Seems like lots of fun!
A lot of them run perfectly well on original hardware too, if you happen to have a flash cart laying around you can often get the digital editions for cheap, and bigger games pop up on incub8 games and a few other spots with physical copies. I picked up The Machine, and it was probably my GOTY 2023. I put so much time into it at work on breaks, and I still haven’t gotten all the achievements.
