Purple Panic Full OST✨🐰

So, I think I did some concept stuff for it ages ago, but here’s some art design stuff for a game idea I had, sort of a melancholy-y vector-graphics Zelda-like inspired by the aesthetics of pre-crash video games.

On the right is the heroine, on the left is what is basically my idea for a design of the “goomba” species.

In my head, the game idea’s called Black Skies, and I’ll tell you more about it if you wanna hear…

2018

Witness all of Famicase 2018′s brilliant designs ⊟ 

All 250 entries from this year’s My Famicase Exhibition – Meteor’s showcase of cart designs for made up Famicom games – are now available for you to click through and enjoy! This is way more convenient than opening a million tabs from Twitter’s #famicase hashtag, and you can get a better sampling of the contributions from Japanese artists. Plus, there are descriptions for all of the concepts, though you may need to open Google Translate for some.

The designs we featured above come from Anna Dittmer, イイヌマ, ヤマダユウス型, 廸, NEKONOKO, イズ, Dima Goryainov, rayzones, Chris Furniss, and Liam Higgins. You can see all of the cartridges on display at Meteor’s game shop and gallery in Nakano, Tokyo until May 13.

Super Banjo-Kazooie RPG

Once In A Century, developed by Ribbon Black in 1991 for the Nintendo Famicom. An 8-bit RPG that follows one woman’s journey from a hired sword to the greatest knight the kingdom. Great graphics for a Famicom game, being that it was released near end of the console’s life cycle.

I won’t lie, I’m not too proud of the job I did cutting that label out.

Kazuo Umezu’s horror manga The Drifting Classroom may have reigned in the 70s, but it wasn’t until a decade later that game developers in Japan would begin to cash in on its popularity. The Famicom title, as seen above on a bootleg NES cart, sold millions, and was lauded for its 2D platforming depiction of the manga’s harrowing events in a slightly truncated form. In fact, the game was so popular that an official soundtrack was released, containing every piece of music from the title. Whether you’re familiar with the manga or not, you can surely find excitement in the tale of an elementary school zapped to an uncertain, desolate future, where adults resort to barbarism while the children devise a new world order.

Also, while looking up that one Kat Kong thing, I saw this fake boxart for a hypothetical game, and I had to show it to you because, holy crap, the rating…
