🔥 Announcing Terminator 2D: NO FATE, coming to PS5, PS4, NSW, Xbox & PC on Sep 5, 2025! Sarah, John & the T-800 take on Skynet & the T-1000 in this officially licensed 2D side-scroller complete with classic arcade gameplay & stunning pixel art! 🎬: (youtu.be/IkMFYMG3QLw)

See a knight, post a knight! Does a paladin count? A Panzer Paladin?

This is the first full-length volume of #Zelda manga from a company (Wanpakku) that was one of the first to really collab with devs. It's also a strategy guide for the first game! Plus the artist, こばやし将, did art we consider official! It needs a translation! Full scans: archive.org/details/comi...

The screen is a CRT!

too many people see video games as products and not as culture everyone would appreciate games more if they followed who is creating them instead of only following IPs real life “lore” is infinitely more interesting than fictional lore and it also helps you better understand the fictional lore too

A bunch of stuff I posted as Zelda Manga got takedown requests at IA. I'm 99.9% sure the company doesn't own it & just had AI hunting keywords so I'm reuploading without those. They just don't know/care there's other stuff Check the art in LttP 4koma Vol 1 by Enix❤️ Link: archive.org/details/zeld...

After a couple bodges (wrong symbol/pin numbering for BJT’s) the SMD opentendo works! Thanks to @blueshell3d.com ninten-drawer for eliminating the cart slot as a variable!!)

For graphics for which the color image (NES color palette design) could not be grasped at the storyboard stage, I sometimes painted the image board in the analog way, as in animation. The images below are the image board of the color composition in the data office and the finished graphics. #NES

Resident Evil 2 demake #pixelart Inspired by @vinesauce.bsky.social streaming those awful Game-com games ages ago, which included a Resident Evil 2 prototype.

Thinking about and loving these backgrounds from Final Fantasy Tactics A2. The colors, the shadows, the buttery smoothness, the architecture, and the incredibly appealing sense of shape and form. Mobygames lists Tsuyoshi Wada, Chiho Kawase, and Rie Koyama as the background artists. Gorgeous work.

GB Studio has come to the NES! You can build games for the NES, using the world-class toolset found in GB Studio! #gbstudio #gameboy #nesdev github.com/michel-iwani...

The hunt begins on Bluesky! Spread the news, hunters! To kick things off, allow us to sneak in this reminder of the reveal of a returning monster that was first shown at New York Comic Con! The iconic Queen of the Land, Rathian, is back in all her majesty in Monster Hunter Wilds!

GIFs!? Woo! A sprite of Hayate (Ninja Senki) I did a while back, bigger & redesigned for #NES restrictions. Btw: GIFs need to be uploaded via the "video" icon.

Je réalise que je n'ai publié qu'en anglais à date, mais je suis francophone alors n'hésitez pas à m'écrire en français si vous préférez!

I did a thing (2 years ago): I manually reordered all 512 colors of the Sega Genesis in an "artist-friendly" palette. *.aco and *.gpl available for download here: pixeltao.itch.io/genesis-512-... #pixelart #segagenesis #megadrive #sgdk

The original Star Fox is one of my favorite games, but it was severely held back by its technical limitations. I'd love to see it remade for Switch 2! Either with the awesome puppet style visuals of the original key art, or completely flat shaded but running in HD/60fps.

Here a bonus that I never shared before, a video of the custom NES tool I've written to generate game data. It was designed to create an MMC3 ROM and the code was assembled using ca65. I'll explain each individual tool in the thread.

YESSSSS VF FOR PC WITH ROLLBACK LETS GOOOOOO store.steampowered.com/app/3112260/... Also hell yes new Takenobu Mitsuyoshi song!!!!!! youtu.be/einEYdj3nAQ 🎶🎵

Some more old pixel art from twitter. I made this sprite following #NES restrictions for a side project I was working on with @michaellarouche.bsky.social. V1 was using too many sprites and would have caused a lot of flickering, so I designed V2 to use less sprites on a single line.

Want to know something those guys on those other sites don’t know? I’m doing a Ninten-Drawer GIVEAWAY exclusively on BlueSky! THREE winners will be selected to win a Ninten-drawer each. Winners will be randomly selected 12/1/2024 You know the deal by now. Like, follow and reskeeeeeeet!

The Xbox 360 works great with a CRT for playing games or watching videos.

Slowly bringing over some stuff from twitter. This is a rotation of Grit I made for Panzer Paladin. It's not really used in-game (besides for the loading screen), but it served as a model to keep his proportions consistent when animated.

I've been seeing a lot of pixel artists struggle with Bluesky's image compression, so I'd thought I'd share how to get clear, crisp pixels on the site! Share to help a fellow pixel-artist! #pixelart #tutorial

Hi Bluesky! Every Saturday there’s a brand new EP Classic premiere at 9am PT. Just bring a bowl of cereal, join us and enjoy. :) Help me spread the word, especially to fans of retro games. Sub/Comment/Like/Share: YouTube.com/EPNtv Brought to you by the awesome peeps at @pnpgames.bsky.social

Mona Lisa! 🦎 She was added as a playable character in Shredder's Revenge so I decided to model her; she's a favorite character!

Just a HAMSTER Corporation appreciation post, they're kind of low-key, and at the same time, they're spearheading video game preservation on modern consoles via high quality emulation. Fantastic work!

I created a new #NES palette! My goal with this one was to recreate the colors of my NTSC NES hooked up to my Sony BVM via composite video. Link: pixeltao.itch.io/pixeltao-cxa...

I might as well repost these too. They were for a random game idea I put on ice indefinitely. I'm still happy with how these sprites turned out.

Thank you, I did work on this, a long long time ago!

I'm here! Here's an old Mega Man sprite to break the ice.
