STG dorks might want to pay particular attention to this one:

This game's being developed by an assembly of industry veterans, most hailing from Compile—of particular note is the main programmer, Takayuki "Jemini" Hirono, who established the foundation of Compile's STG style with games like Zanac, Aleste, Blazing Lazers and many others, and who's returning to the Famicom for the first time since Gun-Nac some 33 years ago. (Their last big STG work in general was 2001's Zanac x Zanac, IIRC.)

trailer here, which may or may not be private by the time I hit post:

Cat Hui Trading is the independent venture of Takayuki Komabayashi, formerly of Akiba's vintage game store BEEP and the port studio M2; they might be best known for directing the original Genesis/Mega Drive Mini and Game Gear Micro, and in recent years they've helped out on Capcom legacy reissues including the Capcom Arcade Stadium series. Dude also has a fixation with the old Alpha Denshi arcade game Equites, and you might spot a few parallels between that game and this one—the name's an anagram, for one.

A lot of people talk about covering weird or unknown indie games but indietsushin is one of the only accounts actually bringing unexpected stuff to my attention every time they update. Great great stuff here if you like Japanese indie games

There's a lot going on in the world, but it's that time, again.

If you'd like to support a trans-run, Nanticoke-led magazine (which is fee-free and PAYS our writers!), we'd always be grateful for a tip or two over at beestung's GFM. <3.

"I love what you've done with the place!" "I just work here..."

I've spent the past month or so being various forms of sick, combined with work being really rough I haven't had much energy to draw. I'm starting to feel better now, so I'm trying to get back into things! I watched Gundam X for the first time recently, and Ennil Toniya gay marriage 1996 caught me completely off guard, I just had to draw them.
