The GameBoy style video of me was processed using ffmpeg and Python.
The intro music and sound effects were made with https://github.com/shamblesides/apu-l..., but it's played as an mp3.
Other music was made with GB Studio https://www.gbstudio.dev/
Pixel art was drawn using Pixel Studio   / pixelstudioteam  
The video was produced with OBS for screen capture, kdenlive for video editing, and audacity for audio editing.
