Not that much but do you have any skills

Do you know how to make sprite for game boy games

do you know c?(or c++)

Well, I hope GBDK can handle such a thing, as it's based off a C-to-Z80 compiler using a snapshot from a LONG time ago. I personally would never rely on it for a thing like a GTA clone; you'd be better off with ASM (which, of course, can have a huge learning curve).

What do you mean by clone, anyway? Like the old top-down GTA games? As if so the Gameboy already has those. If you're talking something 3D, then uh...good luck, but that probably won't happen.

Do you plan on using assembler or C? If C, I'm not sure if GBDK can handle such a project or not.

It will be a 2D style game just like the late 90s GTA game

Yes, I get that, but I'm asking what programming language you will be using. C (GBDK,) or assembly.

heres some examples of sprites with gbdk and other usefull info:

the header file that contains all the sprite functions in gbdk
and documentation about them:
http://gbdk.sourceforge.net/doc/html/gb.h.html

Arkaid is a full game that uses sprites with GBDK

the GBDK has many example programs you can find in gbdk/gdbk-lib/examples/gb/

heres one of them:

also if your using RGBDS assembler there is a very good tutorial here for using sprites sound joypad window scrolling banking etc etc:
