the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially. I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game. Pixel approved! Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

Hello! First post on bluesky, I'm Ian, senior artist at Ustwo Games. Working on Monument Valley 3 right now. Also work on personal games in my free time. Love making naturey stuff and bugs and little creatures

@grubb.wtf I’ve got an S tier classic anime recommendation for you, it’s called Golden Boy! It’s absolutely hilarious and the art style is awesome but it’s really not suitable for kids! The only downside to it is that you’ll wish it was longer. Sub and dub are both awesome and it’s on YouTube.

I should probably double clarify Jeff! It’s weird and real CRUDE at times but genuinely makes it one of the funniest anime. It reeeally doesn’t take itself seriously but doesn’t pull its punches. Just warning you because that first couple minutes is… a lot lol

I wrote a really fun Super Mario Bros. 3 remix for this incredible, inspiring project! A big thank you to everyone involved, and a special thank you to @pokerusproject.bsky.social for taking the time during your hectic schedule to add some really cool guitar parts for the track! Happy 40th Mario 🍄

Here he comes running! 🍄🍄🍄 Super Mario Bros. 3 Redrawn is now live on our website! retroredrawn.com/supermario3/ #smb3redrawn #pixelart

Since I’ve finished the first nine Final Fantasy games (plus the FFVII remakes and XVI) I’m gonna give FFXV another try! Anybody got advice on how to make the most out of it? (Do I watch the prequel movie? Do I do the DLC episodes post-game or throughout?)

Hey Capcom! Since you’re bringing back dormant franchises, can we have a HD-2D remaster of Breath of Fire IV please? It already has the most stunning pixel art and animation of any game ever made and doesn’t need much work!

My mum is the coolest, she’s currently playing through Final Fantasy IV (I bought her the pixel remaster collection, but pretended it was for me so she didn’t try to talk me out of buying it hehe) and I’m really hoping she enjoys it as much as she did FFIX! She’s not ready for FFVI and FFVII 👀

As a big fan of Fire Emblem, I can’t believe I’m saying Unicorn Overlord is by far the best strategy RPG I’ve ever played and it’s not even close. It’s somehow deeper, has a stunning open world to explore, fantastic music and voice acting and is just as satisfying to play!

📢 PSA to indie devs. Keep shouting about your game. They'll still be plenty of folks who've not crossed paths with it just yet.

I can’t believe I’ve only just seen the trailer for Mythwrecked! It looks great! Röki was genuinely brilliant and stuck with me so much that I even double dipped for the physical edition on Switch when it was available! Can’t wait to play what you’ve made next Alex!

I’m currently suffering from a horrid head cold, but once I’m better I want to make some pixel art to thank the 1300+ of you that have followed me in such a short time! I know many of you followed me through starter packs, and I’m eager to make it worth your while! Thank you so much 🧡

Super Mario Land 2: Original vs Remake ✨ I’m lucky enough to be a pixel artist for this project! #SML2RDX The stage is now fittingly spooky since it’s near the Pumpkin Zone!🌛

If you’re wanting to follow more indie devs, I really recommend Ted! He’s working on the awesome Orange Island at the moment and it’s also getting an NES release! 🧡

A little intro post... I'm Ted, I live by the sea with my cat, and I'm working on Orange Island with @langel.bsky.social! #nesdev

My honest thoughts on the first 5 hours of Mario & Luigi Brothership: It’s really good! There’s a slightly excessive amount of dialogue but other than that it’s great! I love the music, the animation, the art style, the battle system and the concept of sailing across the ocean on an island ship!

Over 700 of you wonderful peeps have followed this sleepy queer game dev, officially overtaking my Twitter following! 🥹 I know it’s just numbers but it truly means a lot, and I’m incredibly thankful to be a huge step closer to closing the bad app account for good 🧡

It’s wild to think that in two weeks I’ve nearly reached the same amount of followers on Bluesky as what I had on the bad app over the course of YEARS. And I’m happier, more engaged and not just burnt out by bots, garbage takes and nastiness. I’m super grateful for this app and the people on it 🧡

Controversial take: In the Mario & Luigi series I was never fond of having to manually press A and B together every time I wanted to jump up a ledge or over a gap. I found it a little clunky and uncomfortable for longer play sessions. I kinda prefer how Brothership handles it so far 👀

I’m spooked to realise that I’ve hit 600 followers! Only 100 or so away from having more than the bad app which is when I’ll probably stop using it altogether! Thank you to everyone who follows, I’m so grateful, and have a Happy Halloween! 🧡
