Evoland.gb is a fan-made port of the Evoland game, on the Nintendo GameBoy console. This project is still in a work-in-progress state, but it is in a sufficiently advanced state to be shown.
For those who do not know Evoland, It is the first game of Shiro Games studio. It takes the form of an action RPB that relates the history of the video game through its technological evolutions and its gameplay. I will not tell you more about it, but if the concept interests you, you will find many let's plays on Youtube.

To build Rvoland.gb, the SDCC compiler is required with its libraries and gbz80 support. On Ubuntu / Debian, this can be done with the following command:
sudo apt install sdcc sdcc-libraries
Then you have to clone this repository:
git clone [email protected]:flozz/evoland.gb.git
Next go to the project folder
cd evoland.gb
And download submodules
git submodule init
git submodule update
Finally, just build the ROMs with the following command:
make
If everything is OK, the following files are generated:
evoland_en.gb: English ROM of Evoland.gbevoland_fr.gb: French ROM of Evoland.gb
If you change assets (map or tilesets in gassets/ folder), you have to rebuild the assets:
make gassets
NOTE: You will have to install img2gb to build the assets.
