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.

Hey, hope everyone is doing well today. 
Here's a little mograph experiment I made using Blender and Krita. 
If it doesn't load right away, try refreshing the page or something. 
Wishing you all a lovely weekend! 
I wish Star Fox had a kart racer. So much potential for cool tracks and vehicles (Arwing, Landmaster, Blue Marine, etc.), and we'd get to hear Falco making snide remarks constantly. Seriously, why hasn't this happened? 
Here's EVEN MORE #GameJoltColors25 great art from you fellow Jolters!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend! 
A donkey walked up to me and let me pet him yesterday, so it's been a 10/10 weekend for me.

Who's excited for the new Kirby Air Riders? 
Here's #MyBandit and #MyTrapper from Bandit Trap! Only changed a couple items from the immediate outfits that are available, but I like them this way. I prefer playing bandit currently.
Hope you're all having a good weekend so far!
This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Kirby! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.
I was invited to the final beta playtest on Steam for Bandit Trap. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the Game Jolt outfit! 
Like, this logo I designed back in 2010 is in a video game on Steam. Wuh? Trying to wrap my head around that.
