Twin Peaks: Meanwhile (Jam Submission)
WARNING: This version was submitted to the GB Studio Jam and had a few issues when submitted. Please refer to the working version.
Twin Peaks: Meanwhile is a short re imagining of the classic 90s show as if it was made into a Game Boy game. The game is completely centered around Cooper's adventure into the black lodge. There is multiple endings and a host of spirits to interact with.
!!!MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!!!!
This game is made for fans of the show. You might want to avoid playing if you haven't seen all of Twin Peaks and don't want it spoilt for you. Plus it wouldn't make a heap of sense.

The game was made in GB Studio, an amazing piece of software by Chris Maltby. You can really download the ROM and run it on a real Game Boy, (I've tested it).
Twin Peaks: Meanwhile was made for my love of the show but also as a way to learn game dev. This is my first actual game as well as my first submission to any sort of game jam. I made everything by myself from scratch. As noted in the game, I have more content mapped out but this a shortened version to submit to the 2021 Game Boy Comp.
Big shout out to Robert Doman and Goodnight Girl. Their tutorials helped me immensely through this whole process.

Tory - back in 2021 this inspired me to transcribe some Twin Peaks sheet music into Game Boy music. But I never actually posted it, so now I finally have! Feel free to incorporate it into this old project, or just enjoy it. Here's the asset pack.
