A somewhat surreal, but proud and exciting moment. I'm holding in my hand a new Mega Drive game, and it's my artwork on the cover! An item off the bucket list, for sure. Thanks @mix256.bsky.social for the opportunity, can't wait to play the game!

Anoche me eche una partidita casual a Out Zone y fue ese día tonto en el que aplasto una marca previa que me había costado mucho conseguir.
Captura de pantalla de una tabla de puntuaciones arcade. En la primera posición la puntuación es 2257050 y el juego está completado al 150%. En la segunda, la puntuación es 1413550 y el juego está completado al 100%

If you haven’t reposted this yet, please get your butt into gear and help us spread it far and wide. I need this game to break out beyond my little follow circle. Also still waiting for the day it gets big enough that @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp drops a comment 😉

Introducing Kelly! Leader of the vigilantes, what she lacks in size or strength, she makes up for in speed, agility and sheer willpower. She's into aerobics, kickboxing, and fighting for those who can't fight for themselves. #pixelart
