r/LinkCable Lounge
here's hoping this subreddit will be friendly to homebrew link cable games, too! With https://github.com/rodri042/gba-link-connection, implementing link cable support in homebrew GBA games is very doable these days.

Apotris v2 is out now! You can now battle your friends via Link Cable!
I used this which saved me the trouble of dealing with the hardware! You can only send 2 bytes per frame, which was a lot more restricting than expected. The biggest challenge was making the little preview that shows you your opponent's board

I asked my partner today why he thought he was able to finish our game but not any of the other games he worked on solo.
There are lots of forums online. The GBAdev Discord has a matchmaking channel to help people build teams.

We're doing a physical release of our game.
Thank you! We've got some stuff on how we made the game in the GBAdev forum. My partner has info on the sound engine and assembler he built for the game on his site.. It's all open source. Feel free to dm me questions here or join us on the GBAdev Discord. We want to help grow the retro community so don't hesitate to reach out.

How difficult is it to make a game for a gameboy advance
An amazing resource to learn about the GBA is TONC. At the start I read it many times to wrap my head around the hardware, and I still consult it often when I forget stuff. Also here you can find (probably) all the tools worth using. Make sure to join the gbadev discord too, people there are extremely helpful!
