Thanks for the feedback! That's something I've been thinking about. I'd describe myself as more of a Maniac level player - not Ultra - so I need to keep in mind that players will expect more out of Ultra. I had this on my to-do list already, but I'll move it up in priority since you reminded me 🙂

FF3 is one of my favorites! But I haven't played the pixel remaster. I played it on DS and Famicom. I like the job system, music, and pixel art. I bet you'll have a better time with it than FF2.

I've decided that spring starts today. I'm not waiting until March 20. Spring is a state of mind.

Got my third 1CC of the year - Progear (Japanese version)! I cleared the US version back in 2024, but I wanted to clear the slightly harder Japanese version. It's really not that different, but a 1CC is a 1CC youtu.be/i6tQu5j7gxs

I finally played Astro Ninja Man DX this week - cool game! I got the Switch version on sale for $2.99 (US eshop) as part of the Riki 8Bit Collection. Music by Nob Shioda (Recca), Manabu Namiki (Garegga + all the best Cave soundtracks), and more youtu.be/Rvo9FTDy4a4

Looks good! But I wish these screenshots (or a trailer) had been available during the preorder window. The lack of screenshots/trailer for this mode felt like a red flag during preorders, so I skipped it. Also, I didn't know you were involved. Now I wonder if this might be amazing??

This weekend we're celebrating 10 years since we adopted our little Binx! She's the boss of our household. A few months ago, she started developing neurological issues and isn't getting around as well. She's on meds, but mostly we're just keeping her happy and enjoying what time we have left 🐰

I haven't posted about Prismidia lately, so I just wanted to say it's going well. My day job has been busy, and this is going to be a long project for us. But we're making progress every week!

Nintendo acknowledging that Kid Icarus exists?! it's a Thanksgiving Miracle!

Now remake Uprising with modern controls!

That's not a useless trick though - if you're into speedrunning! :) You wind up replaying the first half of the game, but then you beat the game without having to play the later stages. That trick is the reason why Any% is a few minutes faster than the All Stages category

Just posted a quick update to our alpha demo that should hopefully fix issues with certain controllers (especially PS4+PS5). See the demo Itch link pinned on my profile

Prismidia is still in development, so this alpha demo is to get feedback. Let us know what you think!

Eventually, we'll do a second demo on Steam when things are more polished - and the game will be released there.

(The Steam page is already up if anyone wants to wishlist)

Looks great. I especially like how the parallax foreground adds to the scene
