Here's Disaster Day Of Crisis a very ambitious project by Monolith Soft and dubbed by Animaze and ZRO Limit. I'm not exactly sure in what capacity Kevin Seymour was involved with this one as the voice director is listed as Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. Preproduction documents below. 🧵

Day 9. A piece of artwork from Game 1988 Illustration Calendar by Hideki Tamura used for the August page. This is allusive to Daiva, a game released in 7 different platforms with different stories. Removed logo on the top left, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Our fan translation for Ningyo no Rakuin (人魚の烙印) is done and releases on October 31, 2026 We're dropping new translated marketing materials every two days until release!

I think it's beautiful when art effects people so deeply they'll go to these lengths to try to save a particular project, I just wish we had any kind of organized body for creative workers across industries that could funnel this energy into actually supporting the people who created the art

Pretttty fantastic piece imo about the abysmal current state of affairs in game journalism (myself and a couple of friends and close colleagues are all in here) bsky.app/profile/afte...

The first print proof for HG101 Mascot Platformers Vol. 1 came in today. So very many scrimblos...

did you guys think this would make him seem less cool somehow or what

I plan to upload the Digging for Isix parts as separate videos. Given the recent passing of Walter Koenig, I went ahead and started with Maximum Surge. This looks at an abandoned FMV project in which he played the villain. I got access to prototypes and BTS interviews. youtu.be/h7dJ_CFh_e0?...

COMMISSIONS OPEN! ✨ If you are interested in working with me, DM me or Email me!

How to Become a River Raider: Hints & Tips from one of the First Ladies of Video Games herself: Carol Shaw. You'll see her credited as the first female video games designer, but I feel it's fairer to call her the first (recognized) female console game designer employed within a company.

Day 8. A piece of artwork from Game 1988 Illustration Calendar by Yukihisa Fujita used for the July page. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Eric Bauza was maybe the most underrated voice actor in modern animation. It seemed easy to take his work for granted because he gave such faithful and consistent performances to characters for years on end. Hard to overstate what he did for the world of animation. Rest in Peace

One cool cover: Silent Möbius. Tokyo can't catch a break in either century from demonic invasion. But thankfully, the Attacked Mystification Police Department is on the case. 📖: Anime UK, Oct/Nov 1992

I despise the term "friendslop" so much,it's so mean-spirited and cynical. Can't we all agree to use the nicer term "friendbait" instead?

Commanche FX was a planned port of the DOS game Comanche: Maximum Overkill to the SNES using the Super FX chip. Here it is running at Winter CES 1995. One of several 3D SNES games shown at the event that would never release. https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/c9adc7ca-554b-44ea-bac5-c0998c3e1888

5 years ago i was thinking about Crazy Castle and drew this, reasoning "basically any character looks good holding a little hammer"

Happy 30th birthday, Vandal Hearts! Released in Japan on this day in 1996. A year later when it made its way over to Europe, it became one of my favourite PS1 games and another gateway to the wider world of TRPGs. A recommended play any day 💜

[thinking about the gameboy color Grinch game with the slutty minxy Grinch the artist clearly wanted to fuck] hm.

It’s been almost 4 years since i pitched Polygon one of my favorite pitches (all my work has always been pitches cause ain’t nobody been handing me pitches. It’s all my ideas. Cause im valuable and worth hiring) www.polygon.com/23473203/pok...

My own two cents on spotting genAI crap within retro game modding/hacking & homebrew communities: One of the easiest telltale signs of something being vibecoded is if the "project"/"mod"/"hack" in question uses a particular faux "pixel font" with zero variation:

Hey y'all. I've been let down again on some promised client work that would have tided me over till the end of the month. I've put together this mega-bundle containing all 38 issues of my retro gaming history, features, and community contributions digi-zine. ko-fi.com/s/fab638b683 1/2

Does anyone have a used RTX card they might wanna ship me? I'll pay shipping. I wanna switch out my 1070 for something newer. IF you're European, shipping will be cheap.

I'm currently the only one of 3 disabled trans people in my household who can work, but 16 months of being bedridden and chronic migraines have left us very broke, and we're helping my sister move cross-country now. If you can send a few dollars, that'd be very appreciated! ko-fi.com/fooneturing
