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.

I made this surface pattern design during a 7-hour power outage. LOL Just a bunch of friends hanging out in space—normal everyday kind of stuff, you know. 
This is just 1 out of 12 different palettes.

This little friend was parked right in the middle of a pathway thinking it was completely invisible. LOL I moved it to a safe spot. Love how its antennae almost look like blades of grass.
New animated post background for my shop, featuring 10x more than the usual amount of silly!

Hope you're all having as good a day as possible! 
I've been having some health struggles, but I'm working on it. Never give up, y'all.

Have a lovely weekend!
Who's excited for the new Kirby Air Riders? 
Ouch! My squirrel pattern didn't do very well in the Spoonflower design challenge. 
Aw man, and I was really happy with this one, too. Grateful for those 40 votes, though!
Will just keep trying. 
Hope you're all doing well today, by the way! 
Doodle thing for #GameJoltColors25.
Long live Blobcat. 
I've been enjoying seeing all of the serious entries. Keep up the awesome work, everyone. May the blobcats be with you all.

Happy clouds—another fabric/wallpaper pattern. Thought it might be fun for nursery wallpaper, or anyone who likes cute + happy. I mean, if y'all somehow haven't figured it out yet, I'm a total child at heart, so I love making this stuff.
