We now have a trailer!

The Bagman is a 16-bit #pixelart retro #horror game. A stealth point and click. Imagine if Day of the Tentacle met Alien Isolation, but with an 80s/90s slasher vibe and gratuitous gore.

Sega has the answer - the Mega Anser!

Both Nintendo and Sega envisioned their consoles morphing into home computer hybrids with various degrees of online network capabilities.

Mega Anser was one of those bits of online connectivity via Mega Drive, sold specifically for online banking in 1990.

I I / I / I I / I — Project Signal demo
This is a narrative experience and the first thing I've ever made for SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis. I didn't know if what I wanted to do was technically possible or within my means.

A former Sega employee confirms that the idea of adapting Virtua Racing for the Mega Drive was born when the company heard about Starfox, with the aim of countering the latter - although the two titles were released 13 months apart.
