I didn't expect such a warm reception to my anime sfx generator. Thank you 😊

Here's another tiny toy; Fossil Maker. Create random, mostly silly-looking, fossils of creature skeletons

Crash Riding Polar. I made this in Pixsquare on iPad, and I think it might be my favourite pixel art editor. #pixelart #crashbandicoot #GBA

Messing around with pseudo 3D on the GBA for Crash Bandicoot twisted. The crates are 2D sprites that have been rendered offline in different perspectives, (depending where in the camera they are displayed) and carefully placed/scaled to simulate depth. #retro #pixelart #gamedev

Made a small animation of Polar from Crash Bandicoot. Starting to experiment with some snow level stuff for Crash Bandicoot Twisted. #GBA #pixelart #retrogaming

Happy new year, and stuff.

We've just updated Zabu's itch.io page, with some sweet new screenshots: zabu-team.itch.io/zabu
We're getting ready for the release of a new demo, coming later this month. The first stage will be playable. 👊

This is Walt the security guard. He is a character from a Point &. Click adventure concept I was experimenting with. Trying to mimic the Day of the Tentacle/Sam & Max HTR aesthetic.

Just hit over 2k downloads and browser plays on itch.io of Crash Bandicoot Twisted! The biggest traffic drivers were itch itself,(it got ranked towards the top of the GBA page), YouTube and Google. Also big shout out to @crashynews.bsky.social for covering it early.

This is Tabby McWhiskers, defence attorney. This character was originally from a small Phoenix Wright homage I made for my wife. What crimes has your pet been charged with that he could defend in court? #pixelart #aceattorney

Really cool to see the first YouTube creator cover my little Crash Bandicoot fan project is from Brazil. The YouTube translation was a little spotty, but he seemed quite positive! youtu.be/BQUXDPYEzwk?...
