Ironically I'm making a game about artificially intelligent robots but without using Ai 🤷🏼

How's this for a deep cut? Here's the original artwork from the game "Moon Ball Magic" which was a Famicom disk writer kiosk exclusive video pinball game by... Squaresoft?! Painted by Noriyuki Moto who also did art for the Ys games. #famicom #square #fds #originalart #nintendo #videogameart #pinball

We're 10 days away from LI Retro Gaming Expo and I can't believe I'm saying this but we're going to have THREE Sharp X68000s this year. Time to pack mine up... #liretro #x68000 #retrogaming #expo #superhangon @liretro.bsky.social

I combined Waluigi and the Katamari Damacy King for this character and I'm NOT ashamed. #pixelart #sprite #gamedev #indiegame #nixie

Here's something for the Retro gaming/CRT television nerds out there. I managed to find this unbelievable Panasonic Prism TV from 1988 just 5 minutes from my house. I'm already obsessed with it and can't wait to hook up my retro consoles to it! NES for scale. #crt #tv #retrogames #videogames #nes

Hello to all my new followers! Bluesky is shaping up to be my new main platform to share development updates on Nixie, my 16-bit indie game. If you haven't played the demo yet, grab the latest V.3 version at nixiegame.com/demo and please send me your thoughts, bug reports, and ideas!

This has been bothering me forever! Finally added some more frames to the jump animation, looks a lot smoother now. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #nixie
