What the hell are they feeding this toys? The package is damaged so I'm tempted to open it and using it as a drawing tool. But.. I could give it away?
If you're not aware. A new engine for the Mega Drive is on the horizon. Based on GBStudio. So I'm concepting some ideas. I'm hoping to spend some time figuring out the look of 90s SEGA games.
«9 days remain.»
The demo for retro sci-fi mystery visual novel GOSSAMER DIVORCE releases April 15 2026.

First trailer below. ⇣
and..... I made Silent Hill...
I'm kind of wondering if this would make a fun Sega Master System game? Side scrolling beat'em up, but all guns. Would love to figure out a way to reuse these sprites.
Get ready to see this everywhere.
Probably my favorite BG I've drawn.
I've been making backgrounds for this project and I've really been wanting to share them.
Dungeon Siege, I need to play that again!
It's Monday, and you don't own a copy of ANNIHILATOR.
Change that: annihilator.games

Spent like 12 hours modifying the emulator to work with key binding changes... and keyboard is working. Game Pad.. to be continued.

The good news is, the Annihilator 2026 preorder window has already reached it's MOQ funding goal. So I could close the window early. But I really would like to get it into a store or 2.
But I'm finding out, that is much much easier said than done.
I'm also getting to use, unused 3D assets for the modern version. So won't feel wasted.
Just a fun update, but I released a Beta PC version: saltandpixel.itch.io/annihilator - the current version just launches into the game. But I'm working on the features. This could be a nice little "all in one" package.
Game Boy Color on your PC.
No, did my own thing.
I've been sitting on this, but I realized I had a Steam app credit I could use and it's a really fast turn around. ANNIHILATOR (GBC) for PC. Keyboard and Game Pad controls are working. Maybe a beta release for now, on itch?
Just some late night shenanigans. But I think I'm going to release an ANNIHILATOR GBC for PC port this weekend.
Also, this has potential to reach modern consoles.

Welp. I started a new youtube channel for Annihilator Games:

Sent out my first wholesale pitch to a local shop. Wish me luck!
Just realized, that quite a few physical magazines have reviewed Annihilator. It's hard to pin them all down.
Some of them have been mailed to me. I need to go dig through my stuff. I'm grateful for the every bit of it.
Also, if you have wrote articles or reviewed my work. Please reach out.
Sending out press releases, again. Curious to see if "Another Preorder Window" is a headline. People like the "big pop" or "overnight success" stories, but Annihilator has been a slow growth thing. Reserve a physical copy here: annihilator.games

Thanks. I'm aiming for an organic and lumpy kind of armor/prison. Kow Yokoyama inspired.
If you know me, you know I'll be refining art up until the very last day lol. I've been working on what the Annihilator (Shinryu) character looks like.
The window to preorder the physical game is open: annihilator.games

Working out what the Annihilator (Shinryu) character looks like. Trying to get better at sketching, in general.

ANNIHILATOR for Game Boy Color is having it's next preorder/restock: annihilator.games
Over 400 games have been sold since it's release, and now you have another chance to get a physical edition of the game and help me restock and launch Annihilator Games.
The window will be open for a few months
I'm creating buttons for Annihilator's Restock Reservation. Prices have gone up and there is a tariff. Thankfully (if my calculations are correct) I can keep the base price the same.
I would like to get through this next preorder pretty quick.
A little late night manga sketch.

Yes, consumers love Steam. Because the platform is designed to exploit addictions and vices. Convenience and cheap games.
Don't be tricked by the weirdo Steam diehards who "will only buy on Steam". There are plenty of people in this world who will buy your game.
