3 years before Pocket Fighter EX I made a sprite of Kazuya in Pocket style. I touched it up just a little bit for this post.

It got warmer so Kirby and I went out.

I am now an Unreal Engine developer. Even if Unity Engine walks every word back how could anyone trust them again? Do we continue on where at any moment they can retroactively change the rules? I will not live under that fear. I'm done with them. Deets

I always wondered, what if Super Mario Land was on the NES? Land was very much in the vibe of Super Mario Bros. 1.

It was way more difficult than I expected to balance Mario's browns against all the desert colors. #pixelart #mario

This is Old Boy. He's a grizzled older stray cat. He was reluctant about approaching for a long time. Recently he was limping and we gave him food. We were gentle with him and let him rest inside a few days. He got better and now comes around every day.

Kirby seems to understand what the Vest means now; That he can go outside.

It's so cold today, it sucks! I want to sit outside a bit with Kirby.

He is on the couch next to me right now. He loves that little stick I brought inside for him lol.

Not an April Fool's joke, I got super sick. My wife had been super sick and I caught it, which I should have expected.

Sucks that this happens right at the start of the game jam, but I'll still try my best.

Anyway here's Bud, he came inside on his own!

Would it be interesting if I participated in this Game Jam? "Starting March 31, 2026 and ending May 1 2026, you have one month to make a fighting game." https://itch.io/jam/fighting-game-versus-jam-2026 I would be using Unreal Engine, with a small team of friends.

Most didn't realize that part of the colorization specification was maintaining 100% backwards compatibility with the original NeoGeo Pocket 3-Color look via palette swap only. I enforced this by mandating every new sprite to be made *first* in 3-Color.
