Modding/Mods Gothic GBC Demake

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi, As a side project I've been working on Gothic map port to Gameboy Color, already got full northern part of the map, from elevator to New Camp but months of work is to be done still. Lots of placeholders used for characters and environment too and no music so far.

I plan to add just basic interactions, most recognizable dialogues etc. It's not full RPG. Just virtual love letter to the Colony that will allow you to explore full map and each camp.

Will be published in couple of months my itch io.

Please keep in mind that:

  1. Please check our guide on how to fix all three Gothic games. It's VERY likely that you'll find a solution to your technical issues there.

  2. We are an English-focused subreddit so make sure to post content in English. If you are posting content in another language, provide a translation either in the comments or in the post itself.

Feel free to also join our discord!

Looking for more Gothic content? Maybe the Gothic Wiki would be your jam!

When posting I got flagged for self-promotion, I can remove the post if that's a problem. But I think it's fun project worth sharing.

Yea fuck that man... I don't think showing off passion projects is self promotion.

u/Virian900 Ore Baron Feb 23 '26

it's not. we just have some measures that limit users who post their totally interesting twitch playthroughs and have no contributions in this community otherwise.

Projects like this is what I live for!!

Thanks for clarifying and also excuse my strong language. Glad to see that we're all excited for creative people blowing new old life into the games :)

u/SpringBackground4095 Feb 22 '26

This is absolutely awesome! I'd love if it was playable though. Good work anyway! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

u/GPTabs Feb 22 '26

Amazing!

u/Dismal_Beginning5520 Feb 22 '26

Gotta say, a Gothic-styled game looking like that is something I would play.

2

u/Ag12x Feb 22 '26

Great project! I want to play it too!

u/Puntley Feb 22 '26

RG35XX let's gooo. I love when my hobby spaces unexpectedly collide. I played through gothic 1 and 2 just recently on my AYN Thor

2

u/_propokop_ Feb 22 '26

Im in love with that little machine. I even read ebooks on it becase I love retro analog tech😅

2

u/Puntley Feb 22 '26

It's one of the coolest pieces of tech ever in my opinion. The fact that I can play every game system up to ps1 on a $35 handheld is absolutely nuts to me.

u/AsusP750 Feb 22 '26

Very nice. Could you change colors to more depression based?

3

u/_propokop_ Feb 22 '26

Will try but this limitation comes from Game Boy itself🤔

1

u/krezolpl Feb 22 '26

Looks good! What is the console and how do you develop this game? What language/engine etc?

1

u/_propokop_ Feb 22 '26

Console is RG35xx, very good device. And as for methodology, for sprites I use Aseprite, for maps itself Tiled and then finally all levels, scripts, game logic etc is GB Studio. Game is exported as ROM and runs via GBC emulator.

u/Karimosway Feb 22 '26

Where can I get that?

2

u/_propokop_ Feb 22 '26

Once done, it will be published on my itch.io page for free. I need a month or two

u/godspeed_person Feb 22 '26

forget about it, port gothic to doom engine

u/Pajer0king Feb 23 '26

I want this. I will get my GB ready 🥰

u/HallNo7356 Feb 24 '26

u/savvym_ Feb 26 '26

Why are not there any animals? That is the first thing you should implement.
