The Seed is the most ambitious project I have taken on with Volcano Bytes. After years of short arcade games, I wanted to tell a story: an action platformer set in a strange, dreamlike place that is not quite our world, built with GB Studio and squeezing everything I can out of the Game Boy Color. Dani Díez is drawing every pixel, and each one is there to tell the story, with that crunchy handheld feel I love. I am keeping the plot to myself for now. It is still early days: I am trying out mechanics and testing the limits of the hardware, and I expect to be deep in development throughout 2026 and at least 2027.
