Bandai Namco announced a new dev studio (Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S) for commissioned projects. Notably, this particular portion of Bandai Namco staff have mostly been involved with development of numerous major Nintendo titles, including the Super Smash Bros. franchise, Mario Kart 8, ARMS, and many more.
Coinciding with the above news, Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S seem to be the team working on a remaster/remake of a 3D action game for Nintendo that was revealed early last year by a job listing calling for someone experienced with HD remastering of 3D backgrounds. Another job listing for the studio mentions "construction of stage specifications," "level designs," and "side-view action games" also commissioned by Nintendo, but it's unknown as to whether this is related to the same exact project.
At the very end of a video released yesterday by the creator of the Super Smash Bros. games—most recently Super Smash Bros. Ultimate—(and more), Masahiro Sakurai, it was confirmed that he is "still creating games." It is currently unknown what role he is taking this time around. Sakurai has famously sacrificed his own health on many past occasions for the sake of meticulous direct involvement in each of his game's development cycles, so hopefully this pattern is not being repeated yet again. Remember, y'all, rest when you need to.

Pear blossoms! 
I've finally added a channel to my gallery community for photos, by the way... LOL My photos are just point & shoot, nothing fancy, but it will help me keep track of what I've shared with you all.

Bro was really gunning for me, but I managed to get the last gem for our team... While I was dying??? Hey, I'll take it. 
Also, this was my first online match, and my first online win! 
(My team carried me.

Here's a surface pattern design I painted that was inspired by an embroidered jacket. You can probably see I used an arch motif as a guide for this one. I think it looks really cool for upholstery (chair mockup courtesy of Spoonflower).

Here's EVEN MORE #GameJoltColors25 great art from you fellow Jolters!
Here's a photo from one of my recent walks! I think daffodils have to be one of the most welcome sights after a long cold winter. 
It's chilly again today, but I have the wood stove fired up and cranking out the heat! Hope everyone's doing well. 
Who's excited for the new Kirby Air Riders? 
Photo from earlier this year of some crocuses springing up. 
Hope everyone's well today!
I had a bad leak in the water pipes under my home—got most of it patched up today, thankfully, but all the pipes will need replacing. Phew... It's going to cost. 
Doodled a cute little Noki for #FanArtFriday. 
Wishing you all an excellent weekend!

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Kirby! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.
Here's another one of my recent surface patterns, inspired by ogee prints, 1920s décor, and early Art Nouveau design. I actually pulled the palettes from an interior design book published in the late 1920s—very fun!
