Work3Studio - Banana Bash! NES ROM Demo OUT NOW! @work3studio.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
What's cool about video games, is that there's so many to choose from! Styles vary wildly, even within one genre! That's why, if there's a game I don't like the look of, or the art style isn't my thing, I find something more to my tastes, or continue playing one I already like! Video games! 😀

Get hyped, folks! The first physical NES copy of Even Goblins Fall In Love is here. It's a build of a beta version (v0.8) of the game that I'll be showing at Indie Game Fest 2026 (www.eventbrite.com/e/indie-vide...) at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, MD. #nesdev #gamedev #nes #indieretro
A CNROM PCB for an NES game with a series of chips soldered to it. One of the larger chips is labled PRG. The other is labled CHR. The PCB is labled Second Dimension.A grey NES cartridge with hand-written labels saying "Even Goblins Fall In Love" and "v0.8 RC1 (Beta)"

Hi all, I've been getting number of mails asking if the Kickstarter for Banana Bash is still happening. The answer is, YES! We'll begin the KS when we're finished. We don't want you pledging money to wait an indeterminate amount of time, as unfortunately, I can't offer a solid completion date.

I don't always work for Japanese companies, but when I do, I always eventually end up feeling like the inside of my cranium has sunburn. 😓

Wow, blast from the past! Didn't know this was out! (bad trailer, but I like the new character illustration) I was a character modeler an animator on this, back in the day. Silicon Graphics workstation flashbacks/trauma aplenty! www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...

"Cyberswarm Overdrive" is a new #homebrew for the #NES, being developed by "Ninja Dynamics" From the early WIPs we've seen so far, the game is showcasing some really impressive visuals for the old 8-bit system Like this massive truck sprite! #retrogaming #gamedev #indie #Nintendo #retro #indiedev

I hate to say this, but Banana Bash will need more time. We’ve made incredible progress, but final code still isn’t complete. It’s frustrating, but we want this to be the best it can be, and worth your patience. We now expect "code complete" around Q1 '26 Sorry. 😓

Development wise, We have prompts integrated for stage starts and "ring outs" , but we're behind schedule while pathing logic is figured out, this allows you to pick stages you prefer along a path, and then play the ones you didn't afterwards as a second loop.

Apologies for lack of updates. I've been trying to find a new gamedev job, as I've been unemployed for almost 6 months. I've been working on packaging solutions and final promo stuff in between.

Noticed a lot of NES Kickstarters like Storied Sword use live-action inserts to tell a story . Since Banana Bash stars cartoon animals and I only have myself to rely on, that’s tricky! But after months of head-scratching, I think I finally came up with a solution. Hope it’s fun!
