JJSignal is still! Open!! For work!!! @jjsignal.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The trade paperback cover was done by @aaronhamm.bsky.social. I remember seeing the palm trees and roller coaster, representing Santa Cruz (where Lexi starts), and thinking about Sonic. Every issue also had guest writers for a short 2 page mini-mini comic, all illustrated by @castpixel.bsky.social.

I was looking for logo references for a commission, and searching Pinterest for "Japanese game logo" brought up my own Pengin logo! Fun. #art

Various quirky and colourful Japanese game logos, and my own!

For our Playdate game based on Firewatch, we wanted some collectible Forrest Byrnes posters with a creepy and threatening 60s-70s Smokey Bear aura. Scaring kids into not starting fires. So I made these.

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!
