You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

SimCity SA-1 now has gesture controls. You all know me about my SA-1 work, but it's not just about accelerating games. It's about improving games to make they even more AMAZING than what they already are. Place a lot of roads, parks, wires & more with your mouse!

Hello, everyone overseas. This time, I’m going to introduce the development materials for the NES game *Metal Slider Glory*. These are the actual tools used during development, and with just this single disk, you can create everything from pixel art to animations.

Another Xenogears test animation, I decided to recreate Fei's introduction of him painting from the game. I made this pretty quickly just to get an idea of trying to do more "complicated" animations with him. Model by @pict0dev.bsky.social. #xenogears

#ゼルダの伝説40周年 #Zelda40th It's been 5 years since I last modeled Zelda 1 Link, so I revisited him. I'll be interested to pose the model later this year!

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling? Watch til the end for a post-credits sting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

@pict0dev.bsky.social let me know that these Mother 3 screenshots may not have good quality equivalents online (thanks to their friend too: mother3land.neocities.org ) so I just scanned and uploaded it at 2400dpi. You can find the high0res page in this download folder: archive.org/download/zin...

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

I started this piece as a tribute to Akira Toriyama, as this design is one of my favorites of his - The Chrono Trigger 29th anniversary happened to coincide with it. (19 colors, 256x256 px) #ChronoTrigger29th #AkiraToriyama #クロノトリガー29周年 #鳥山明
