Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Castlevania has just marked its 40th anniversary! To celebrate, I've 3D scanned what is by far the rarest keshi in my collection: Simon Belmont! Created by boutique toy maker Zoomoth, as few as 80 of these figures were ever sold, during just two days in 2014! Enjoy: archive.org/details/kesh...

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

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!

Square Enix has just published an hour-and-a-half video where they sit down with Akitoshi Kawazu and discuss the development of Final Fantasy II: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EVG...

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.

20 years later, it's still Strange, Funny, Heartrending. #MOTHER3_20th #MOTHER3_20周年

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

#ゼルダの伝説40周年 #Zelda40th 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. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

@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...

We've added 100 new CDs to our collection of press CDs from GamePro magazine, with thousands of pieces of game art, screenshots, and more So, what's the GamePro press CD collection? We put together an explainer

Now's my chance to post #MarioPaint Geno! circa 2020.

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.

CAVE STORY 20th ANNIVERSARY PROJECT [1/??] #pixelart #gamedev For this special day, my brother and I sought to bring Cave Story's charms to 3D. Take a look!

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. (19 colors, 256x256 px) #ChronoTrigger29th #AkiraToriyama #クロノトリガー29周年 #鳥山明

Happy 26th anniversary to Xenogears! I modeled Weltall based off of his Structure Arts design. #Xenogears #ゼノギアス
