By "relatively new" I mean I started using LSDJ in September
Still, impressive. I can tell you've practiced.
I can tell what your intent was with the wubs at the end. It isn't bad. It's just that the song builds and at that point it'd be really cool to get hit by something powerful. Unfortunately, "wubs' on Gameboy are pretty weak. That, and, even in non-chipmusic stuff, that sort of wobble bass is often layered with some sub bass or something else to beef it up. Now that's hard to do with a gameboy because of being limited to 4 channels. I can tell you're creative though. You could try adding some bass with an external instrument, or there's always the option of linking 2 gameboys. Again, though, this is me offering something constructive to something that is good as it is. Take it as you will, or not at all. This is great!
I found myself coming back to this to listen again, so you've got me liking this already. I'd be interested to hear when this is officially complete by your standards.

Re: My chiptunes don't go anywhere. (33 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
It helps to know partly where you want to go with the song/what you want to emulate. Listen to music you enjoy and wouldn't mind producing music similar to. Listen to the composition and styles used in the music, and think about how you can incorporate some of the techniques from that song or those songs into what you create. It's not easy, but it can be done by anyone with enough drive. Writing music does not come easy to everyone.

It's not too busy. I think the chord structure and melodies are really fun. I think it starts to lose a bit of structure when you add the "wubs", for lack of a better term, the second time toward the end. Great concept too. Might I suggest beefing up the bass at certain points? That's just my opinion. I felt at certain points that I would have liked to hear it built up a bit. You're pretty good at programming instruments. I really liked a lot of them that you featured. For being "relatively new" your programming skills are impressive.

I was totally going to recommend Kitsch, but he's already on top of it himself! I can vouch for him though. I've had many good experiences with his shop.

I've not gotten mine either. I'll keep waiting. It puts me at ease that others haven't received theirs and I'm not the only one, because I'd hate if mine got lost in the mail or something.

Re: Update:FS: Cloth Boys aka (Fuz Boyz) TieDye Boy (25 replies, posted in Trading Post)
A fake fur boy example. Special order. These were a plan of mine for the future but a customer requested it sooner. These will be sold for around 50-55$ for a case from be. If you send a case 30-35$. This fabric costs a bit more and requires 5x the coats of adhesive where the original cloth boys take only one coat. This is why the price is higher on these. Hooe you guys enjoy.
Looks more like a "Cousin It" boy.

For me, that's kind of fun in a weird way. To see all the cool and different things people can do with the same toolset. I know too many hacks that think they need the latest piece if killer gear in order to be inspired, whether its guitars, pedals, synthesizers, or more drum pieces. The idea of taking something simple and taking it as far as it can go is attractive to me. Like a drummer playing the shit out of a 3 piece kit, rather than getting 11 rack toms, timbales, and 2 china cymbals
Or a drummer playing the shit out of things that aren't drums. Like pots, bottles, trash cans, anything you can hit. I love it when people make instruments out of everyday things just lying around or play their instrument in a way that is unusual.

Re: FS: USB Bleep Bloop programmer (7 replies, posted in Trading Post)
It can read savs but not write roms.
What carts does it write roms to? Only bleepbloop? Also, would it work on a Mac?
*edit*
Nevermind, found the information. Seems as if the answers are only bleepbloop and apparently does work on a Mac with GBFLSH software (according to Drop1410 below this), for anyone else who may be wondering. It can back up other carts including games.
