making music for a year seems a better spend of time. not to be a pessimist, but there is every kind of game or app already done.
well the game idea i had in mind was a platformer/puzzler those type of games are rare in the homebrew community

I would suggest getting a hex editor, the program YY-CHR, and lunar IPS.
YY-CHR lets you modify the graphics of an existing ROM quite a bit if you know how to use it. You can go even deeper with the hex editor and modify other stuff but you really have to know what your doing. And Lunar IPS lets you take your modified ROMs and make an IPS patch based on it so that you can legally share your ROM modifications with others on the internet without having to personally distribute ROMs.
Here are some examples of modified ROMs/IPS patches that I've done -

the cusom graphics you made looks incredible and you did it all in yy-chr and lunar ips? how long did it take?

Well if you don't know a programming language then there's your first step.
And no there's no easy way to code for a Game Boy, no shortcuts like you asked about, no game maker.
It's C++ or Assembler that gets that thing going. There's Game Boy Development Kit (Orrr whatever that was called, and yes, C++ is what I mean for the GBDK) which is kind of a collection of premade code one can get started with, but... That's pretty far out there if you don't know any programming.
But dude, it's no summer project... It's not going to be done quickly. Just saying.
so is it something i shouldnt work alone on ?
