With Takeover 2's release very close (final date to be announced soon) I wanted to show off the main visual! You'll be seeing this is marketing materials and eventually the physical boxart, etc. If you recognize the style, it was illustrated by the immensely talented @rennerei.bsky.social!

It's all about trampolines! Stay on the trampolines and push your opponents off to win. Brawl against your friends or work together to save the kingdom. Big bosses, big minigames and evil balloons..? ...

Thank you all for your immense support for my animation recently. I'm back to reviving this project now, and it feels great to do so. I haven't shown much of my improvement since Iconoclasts, but not just my animation has improved immensely. Here's another Pepperbee guy: #pepperbee

A pixel-art scene from Street Fighter 3 Third Strike with Lottie the calico cat fighting the character Ruy. She's already cleared the first round with a no-hit perfect. Good job.

It has a sincerity and completeness to the madness. Like all of this is normal and what you imagine hacking to be is real. People hauling thick paperback OS guides in their backpacks to an indoor techno rollerblading park. The outsiders taking it seriously. They really sell it as a cool sub culture.

It’s the weekend! Let’s stretch a little with these cats. Cats seem to know better than we do how to truly relax. Stretch your legs, loosen up, and let go of the week’s tiredness. I hope these little cats bring a bit of ease and a good mood to your weekend😊 #shouxinsketch #cat #sketch #sketchdaily

This was a fun little distraction project. I took a busted Saturn and put my batocera linux pc in it. I'll eventually have the GPIO use the lid/ reset buttons to exit / restart the game. Some other optional things and touch ups I could do but it's pretty much done. #retro #diy

Real talk. A multi-year gig that I was using to pay bills is suddenly ending on me. If you have any remote positions that could use someone with 10+ years of experience in gameplay & combat design, writing & narrative design, let me know. Or if you're a publisher and want to fund an RPG, contact me.

Still making Vikings on Trampolines backgrounds. This one was frankly pure indulgence on my part. We had usable assets for it, but I was feeling the summer this month. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev
Pixel art of beach sand streching towards the ocean overlooked by palm-trees. The clouds are looming on the horizon, but here, there is still sunshine. Two lone parasols and some colored banners hint at festivities to come.

Pixel art of the edge of a hilly forest. The moon is visible in the night sky, a very obvious star-shaped crater is visible on it.

Pixel art of two towers rising above a flooded moat. In the distance, a treeline, and further, a mountain range. The remaining sunlight barely tinting the horizon pink, making way for stars at nightfall.
