You'll be able to play the demo version of Banana Bash! at Syntax Error, Stockholm, Sweden on June 1st. www.syntax-error.se

Noticed a lot of NES Kickstarters like Storied Sword use live-action inserts to tell a story . Since Banana Bash stars cartoon animals and I only have myself to rely on, that’s tricky! But after months of head-scratching, I think I finally came up with a solution. Hope it’s fun!

We've been super busy on our big push over the Japanese Golden week holiday! Programming is continuing at a fantastic pace and I've been heads down in After Effects working on bits for the final Kickstarter video!

We're in this issue also!

I've just released NEXXT 3.4 - the tool i make nearly all my NES graphics in. You can read up on its new features and improvements on this public post on my patreon www.patreon.com/posts/126202... or simply get it here: frankengraphics.itch.io/nexxt

I have more than a prediliction towards super obscure italo synth disco, And I realised I hadn't shared this mid 80's home computer paranoia gem from the band PAGE 2.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx2k...

New NES Game From Former Elite Beat Agents Devs Looks Totally Bananas.

Sprite rippers demanding their permission to use the graphics you made..

We have a tiny bit more polish to add to the demo, fixing some long-term visual bugs that have been present for a while, but we're super close!

Wow, interesting to see a game I worked on get a second lease of life..

perfecto!

How the shit did my cat just turn the washing machine on?

Playable now at Hashtag Gaming Arena in Herndon, VA! The MAGFest demo of Banana Bash, a gorgeous new NES game by @work3studio.bsky.social Get the game when it comes out, follow it on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/922... #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Updated my dayjob game #ui showreel while I await my final paycheck.. youtu.be/Zi5dOCTiAes?... #GameUI #UMG #UE4 #UE5 #UIUX #GameDevelopment #AgeOfMythology #Gamedev #Portfolio

Is it just me or does the intro from this track from Italo Disco legends The Creatures sound VERY close to GC Metroid Prime's music? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy81...

Bloomberg reports that NetEase will not give its Japanese creators additional funding or time after they finish their current projects - Yakuza Creator Toshihiro Nagoshi’s Nagoshi Studio and Suda 51’s Grasshopper Manufacturer are both owned by NetEase www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

felt like pushing pixels around today ✨ #pixelart #ドット絵

I'll never ceased to be amazed by the graphics people managed to squeeze out of our 40+ year old 8 bit. This is an oldie but a goodie. Beige my arse. #keepitcommodore #commodorerulez

Banana Bash! NES demo ROM for emulators and flashcarts coming SOON! #NES #famicom #8bit #pixelart #chiptune #RetroGaming #retrogames #fc #ファミコン #IndieGameDev #レトロゲーム

Hey my lovely #NESdev people. Would you like to publish your game as a standalone Windows/Linux/Mac app? You will soon be able to! On February 24, 2025 NESbag 2.0 will get published. Before you ask: it's open source! #NES #FAMICOM #indienes #homebrew #nesdev #indiegames #gamedev #NESbag #NESbag2

Just visited a Monkey shrine in Nagatacho, Tokyo, snapping pics for an upcoming @RetroGamer_Mag feature! 🐵📸 - our special collector’s edition cartridge will be revealed in a future issue. Any guesses on what it looks like? 👀🎮 #RetroGaming #nes #nesdev #famicom #ファミコ

Sorry for not engaging with any of you new followers, I’m still struggling after the whole eviction/moving/job loss situation since the end of December and have been just trying to push forward with Banana Bash in the meantime, I’m not being ignorant, I promise, just have a lot to deal with atm 😢

@work3studio.bsky.social share interesting technical details about their #NES #homebrew game Banana Bash! at r/retrogamedev: www.reddit.com/r/retrogamed... #retrodev #retrogamedev #nesdev #indiegamedev #retrogaming

If you are wondering WTF monkeys and crabs have to do with our game.. (turn subs on!) #nes #famicom #folklore www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZUw...

After a week of crying and hiding in the bedroom, the boys are finally out and exploring their new kingdom

Still here! Just coming to terms with big changes and getting to grips with finding a new gig. But, as someone asked, YES, most definitely YES! we have physical cartridges being made here, and self-published from Japan. (Wait til you see the special collectors edition! 🔥)

After moving house I got a DM about large layoffs at my company, found I’d been locked out of slack and outlook, a sleepless night of staring at the ceiling and finally got confirmation I no longer have a day job and an apartment I can’t afford for very long

We still have a few months left on our NES game to add some more cool stuff, and get it nicely polished, but if you're interested , you can get notified when our Kickstarter launches HERE #nesdev #nes #famicom www.kickstarter.com/projects/922113497/banana-bash-for-nes-and-famicom
