What’s up with people pretending to die after drinking the grimace shake?
I doubt it was intentional. They hired a studio to make a retro style game and they probably just happened to hire one specializing in gb development. There's a lot of good tools now like https://www.gbstudio.dev/

How to Manage Technical Debt 📉
👾 Software - GB Studio. I spent a large part of my childhood playing Tetris and Micro Machines on my Gameboy. Now anyone can create Gameboy games with a drag-and-drop editor.

Best source for writable carts for homebrew?
Very cool! Maybe you can make a pixel art style portfolio of your work that runs on a GB cart and a rom to share around? Do you know about GBStudio?

Grimace birthday game
No, it's an actual game boy game built using GB Studio, that's the point, that it's compatible with any device capable of running GB games, including original hardware! :)

GB Studio: Drag and drop retro game creator for GameBoy
It actually does interpret bytecode, you can see the opcode definitions here https://github.com/chrismaltby/gb-studio/blob/1f995a976bd3aa...
The trick is that a lot of the heavier stuff is implemented in assembly and this is mostly used for lighting scripting (from what I understand).

any resources for expanding on ECS?
If you ever want to just play around with gameboy stuff, GB Studio is much simpler, but only supports building certain types of games, since it's a no-coding kind of thing.

Is anybody making new SNES games?
There is. But it doesn't get much traction for some reason. Maybe because working with SNES remains hard, even with a modern toolchain, and you'll need to deal with assembly a lot of times to get decent performance, much more than with Genesis.

- Dear developers and hardware engineers of reddit, It is possible to develop new games for old consoles? Like the SNES or DS for instance. If it is indeed possible, what tools would be required?

"Hello World" on SNES
I 100% recommend starting with C and PVSNESlib (https://github.com/alekmaul/pvsneslib) as suggested by others redditors.
-
Is it possible to create your own SNES game?
SNES coding is hard as fuck and probably the worst way to learn programming if you start from scratch. It might be a little less painful with a C library like PVSneslib (https://github.com/alekmaul/pvsneslib), but you'll eventually have to learn 6502 assembly and read tons of documentation to harness SNES programming.
- Does there exist any SNES game maker?

A simpler time
PVSNESLib for example provides a toolchain (some of it indeed being pre-written assembly "headers") that does in my experience allow for the development of fully-featured SNES games pretty much entirely in C.
