An "official" announcement is still a while away, but I'm currently developing Earthen Odyssey! It's a full-blown RPG adventure with player marriage & multiple endings, but it's uniquely divided into 10 discrete levels and can be beaten in just a few hours, so that even busy adults can enjoy it!

When I submitted the design for Cactus Man for MegaMan Dual Override, this is roughly what I had in mind. I've based the mockup on the player filling the arena with sand in this playthrough. #pixelart #ドット絵 #megaman

Pretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...

🚨 hi everyone! 🚨 ornament tower has an official steam page! WISHLIST IT NOW!💙💚 ...there's also cool news on the way. stay tuned! 📻 store.steampowered.com/app/4780280

Disney Daredevil has come to feel like an insult to my intelligence compared to the first couple seasons of the Netflix series.

@darrenmooney.bsky.social It appears your Twitter has been hacked? Wanted to give you a heads-up if you were unaware.

@mariosantos.bsky.social Patiently awaiting your thread-length takes on Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.😉

Whoever the localizer was that put a Steiner math reference in The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy deserves a medal and all the happiness in the world.

it is done almost a year later Paper Chrono Trigger is done proper photo session this weekend made from bristol paper, cardstock, sketchbook paper, toilet paper, & matboard (Also bit of clear resin, colored gel, LED strip, & microLEDs)

The Game Awards is probably literally the most hate-watched event in the world.

Credit where it's due, @bitmapbooks.com sending me multiple reminder emails inside the same 24-hour period is what got me to finally take advantage of their Black Friday sale. Persistence is key!

I was so excited to get this in the mail today, even though I've never run a tabletop game before. I just love classic Phantasy Star that much.

@matpiscatella.bsky.social Hi Mat, do you have any insight into the accuracy of this statement regarding the popularity of Madden 26 on Switch 2 versus other platforms? I feel like context has to be missing here, and you would be the man equipped to deliver it. Thank you very much!

I am personally begging everyone who cares to read graphic novel Lucas Wars, which just released and tells the full story of how George Lucas created Star Wars. It is so good.

The console manufacturers really don't want me buying many video games in 2026, apparently.

I just finished watching The Wire for the first time, and now I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.

@darrenmooney.bsky.social I received a book about the Power Rangers for my birthday called Morphenomenal, and I was tickled to find that the second note in the entire book is a citation to Darren Mooney!

I would've played the heck out of a Dragon Quest Maker. It's fun to imagine how it would have differentiated itself from RPG Maker. automaton-media.com/en/news/form...

My jaw just dropped because--all this time--I did not know you could open a GIF with Aseprite and have it automatically divide all of the frames for you.

Now that I have this book, I look forward to mastering social engagement and selling millions* of copies of my game instantly when it's ready! (*rounding up a little) @victoriatran.bsky.social

Hate to contribute to a Discourse, but 3rd party share of Switch 2 software in the US is far better than it was during the Switch 1 launch.

Kitamura’s Blueprints is now live! I’m the creator of Mega Man, and I’d like to share my thoughts on the production of Mega Man 1 & 2 for the first time, in addition to other game dev topics. Please start by reading “About This Site.” Thank you for your support. www.patreon.com/ak_blueprints

I would have quit Clair Obscur by now if it weren't gifted to me from a friend. I'm sure it's a competent game, but the annoyances are really outweighing any parts I enjoy right now.

I just wanted to summarize my feelings on Tony Gilroy, Star Wars, and Andor in a very normal and respectful manner.

If the Chrono Trigger remake slip from Yuji Horii is legit, I really hope it gets the Trials of Mana treatment. HD-2D would be a waste of time that can't make a perfect game any better.

Cosmic Fantasy Collection 2 arrived from Limited Run Games about half a month early. Truly, this must be a sign of the endtimes.

Just incredible art and imagination in this thread. You aren't prepared for the amount of effort that was spent here.

@kohler.bsky.social Just curious, how is the Square book going? Is that something we might see this year? Thank you!

Just saw that the original art for Secret of Evermore is now up for sale. Different seller, similar price ($355K).

Just saw in a video game art collectors' group that the original cover art for Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is up for sale for $350K.

@gamehistoryorg.bsky.social I'm in a Facebook group for SNES collectors, and somebody posted their collection of vintage vidpro cards from a defunct Toys 'R Us. Among them was the back of The Great Battle, a game planned, then canceled for US release. I'm sharing this image in case it's new to you!

Here you go, I've summarized it in a single graphic note card that you can refer back to later. When it's all laid out like this, it's suddenly very simple, right? Right...?

The creators of #SecretLevel come across as incredibly juvenile and petty in their Collider Q&A. The negative critic reviews of Secret Level don't count if the reviewers don't play video games? What? Weak storytelling doesn't magically become better just because you know what the video game is.

I'm beginning to think that Metal Gear Solid Delta might not release in 2024.

These are not the eyes of mercy. #MegaMan

I plan to use Bluesky a lot more often from now on just so I can stay on top of all the fantastic Brazilian pixel art being created.

I want to try to actually use this app, so hey, here's a new boss sprite for my game Boss Saga, created by the ludicrously talented Omegachaino. She's Lucca, and her story liberally rips off Lufia and Catherine, among other influences.

I saw Oppenheimer and was a bit baffled at how a lot of the audience was teenaged or even preteen. I wonder how many of those kids felt grifted, thinking they were just going to see a cool movie about blowing up a desert, when instead it's an extremely cerebral meditation on a complicated dude.

Finding all your old Twitter follows here is very fun, like it's Final Fantasy 6 and you have to go around getting your friends back together because the old world got destroyed by a sociopath with bad jokes

Super Nintendo, Japanese RPGs, K-pop, and Berserk are my favorite things in the world. In case I never use this app again, I want my one post here to at least make this important declaration.
