SimCity SA-1 now has gesture controls.

You all know me about my SA-1 work, but it's not just about accelerating games.

It's about improving games to make they even more AMAZING than what they already are.

Place a lot of roads, parks, wires & more with your mouse!

Hello, everyone overseas.
This time, I’m going to introduce the development materials for the NES game *Metal Slider Glory*.
These are the actual tools used during development, and with just this single disk, you can create everything from pixel art to animations.

Another Xenogears test animation, I decided to recreate Fei's introduction of him painting from the game. I made this pretty quickly just to get an idea of trying to do more "complicated" animations with him. Model by @pict0dev.bsky.social. #xenogears

It's been 5 years since I last modeled Zelda 1 Link, so I revisited him. I'll be interested to pose the model later this year!

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling?

Watch til the end for a post-credits sting.

@pict0dev.bsky.social let me know that these Mother 3 screenshots may not have good quality equivalents online (thanks to their friend too: mother3land.neocities.org ) so I just scanned and uploaded it at 2400dpi. You can find the high0res page in this download folder: archive.org/download/zin...

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

I started this piece as a tribute to Akira Toriyama, as this design is one of my favorites of his - The Chrono Trigger 29th anniversary happened to coincide with it.

Happy 26th anniversary to Xenogears! I modeled Weltall based off of his Structure Arts design.
