In around February of 2021 I created “Larold’s Jubilant Junkyard”. The idea behind “The junkyard” name was this: that it would serve as a hub for all the “Junk” I create in my side projects. But I eventually started learning how to Game Boy games, and developed a interest in retro game development. As time went on, my interest in Retro Game Development grew.
I decided I wanted “The Junkyard” to not just be about all the different junk i make. Instead i wanted to focus purely on retro game development. Eventually, I thought up a new name that better reflected the change.
Now, “Larold’s Jubilant Junkyard” becomes “Larold’s Retro Gameyard”. With this new re-branding, I’ve also written some tutorials for Game Boy Advance. Eventually i’ll want to get into other platforms, but i’ll take things one step at a time.
Thanks for everyone who supported “The Junkyard”. The new site isn’t fully ready yet, i’m still adding the finishing touches on things. Sign-up for the newsletter to be notified when “The Gameyard” opens.
You can still visit “The Junkyard” for Game Boy tutorials. When the re-branding is done, the old tutorials will automatically redirect to the new site.
