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.
Some recent Nintendo news I find interesting (in the article

I can't choose just one.
Multiple games from the Animal Crossing and Paper Mario franchises have made me laugh out loud innumerable times. Love me some witty dialogue! 
Can say the same for many other games, though. Guess I'm just laughy. 
Oh my goodness!
Previews of a fabric pattern I created for a design challenge on Spoonflower. The theme was "conversational," and I thought "Well, what's conversation without a cup of tea?" It didn't get many votes, though, haha. That's okay, I'll keep trying!

Happy #WIPWednesday!
Are you working on a game?
Making some art?
Practicing a song?
Something else?
Tell us in the comments!
In a couple days, I'll be swapping my GJ shop items circled above with some different stuff. All of these items will return at a later date. Current owners will still be able to use them.

Blablabla self-promotion blablabla. Meow! 
... I had only just met this NPC in Phantasy Star Online (GCN version), and this is how he introduced himself. A moment later, he was like "PLEASE FIND MY FATHER!" Well okay then... 
And yeah, low quality photo, 'cause no capture card right now.
A very quick and silly Kirby doodle I made in Inkscape while experimenting with a tablet setup; thought he was too silly not to share.
I've been using Inkscape for about 15 years, but have never bothered with the tablet features until now.

Hope everyone's doing well today! I overworked myself for a few days, so taking some recovery time. Wishing you the best!
