alternatively, one official release that did exist was the UK port of Bomberman on the ZX Spectrum called "Eric & the Floaters" (!) since we can't keep our title as is, our best bet seems to be riffing off this title so that we can keep the joke without altering our plans too heavily.

i haven't been posting much about don pepe due to bring on real Studio Director™️ hours (working on paid projects, writing docs and sending emails) but we've got a big redesign coming up and our artists are doing a great job! here's a sneak peek at a sad Hana after losing a match!

woke up at 6:30 am for a suuuper fun saturday morning lecture

a screen showing a slide of a presentation made fully with generative AI pixel art.

text on screen reads:
"is AI a danger

fears? risks? obsolescence?

technological advances only move forward, everything that can be automatized will!"

for anyone wondering about the name... it's inspired by a well-known (in latam) hoax that says that bomberman was translated as "don pepe y los globos" in spain 🤪

fake playstation cover for a game called 'Don Pepe y los globos', depicting bomberman himself holding a bomb. the implication is that this is what bomberman is called in spain, which is not true

STOP. This is a selfie checkpoint. You must repost with a cute selfie to proceed.

wrapped up work on our game's debut trailer 🫡 can't wait to show it off!

two frames from parks and recreation where ben shows off a stop motion doll from a short he made while off work and depressed. there is a video editing timeline placed on top of the doll in both frames.

frame 1: "i mean, look at what i've accomplished."
frame 2: "do you think a depressed person could make this?"

i'm doing my part 🫡 there's this character we made called panchito that's based on a famous sea lion from here in valdivia and EVERYONE loves him. especially kids! well, turns out... he's got a zipper on his back 🤐 the animation is short so it's kinda hard to spot but someone is bound to notice

panchito is a creature that resembles a sea lion
