Here's the process video an image of The Nyanja heroes, Nyanmaru and Nekomi which I used for the New Year image but this was also used for the Kickstarter trading cards and a key cutscene in the game. Please support indies! 🙏🏽

..played it without any problems so far, so I'll continue on it until the end. I assume the MiSTer will have no issues but haven't tested on it yet. In any case, I am loving this game so far! Props to the translators that made it happen 🙏🏽

For those looking to play this on the #Analogue DUO or #Polymega, you may be out of luck. played some Emerald Dragon tonight! The DUO didn't like the pre-patched CD- froze on opening cutscene. Polymega did get further but failed at the first temple. However, the #SSDS3 ....

For the sake of authenticity/transparency I'm no longer gonna edit music or effects into my procreate process vids but I hope they're fun to watch anyway! 😄 Not much I can do about my works from 2+ years ago but that predates the AI craze anyway. Enjoy maybe? 🤣

The Heroines to our game, Miko Hearts, didn't always have that chibi look! During early production, they were going to have normal proportions similar to the designs in our FX Unit Yuki. The design was changed due to some advice stating that they may be too "horny" for Japan 😅

Just a quick lil late night Ranma sketch to calm the brain. Sometimes I'll draw something cutesy when I can't sleep to calm the nerves. Do any other artists do something similar? Lmk 👇🏽

One of the things I've done throughout the years is work with RetroCityGames on their design work. The creation of their mascot 10 years ago, and graphic wrap designs for their store windows, and to this day, promo materials with new RC designs, the mascot. #oc #originalcharacter #art #ocart #ocsky

Fun! Post some of your art before Bluesky! A couple of these are super old with the newest one being from 2021 I think. Cotton, Nora chibi, Engine-kun playing PC Engine and the Sailor scouts.
