So, about two months ago, back in June, Square Enix was running its Steam Summer Sale 2026, and I noticed that both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth were going for historically low prices.

This post was written for Blaugust 2026 so, I’m currently in the middle of a Lizzie McGuire rewatch I actually haven’t watched the show since I was hired by Disney Channel back in the 2000s, so… yeah, probably about 20 years ago it’s been a blast so far.

Another year has flown by 😭 2025 feels like it ended before it even began 😭😭 Table of Contents ❄️ January 📷 Pic of the month ☔ June Aqours Finale LoveLive!

I survived 30 days offline.

That's it.

It was Dec 2024 and I had so many ideas/resolutions for 2025.

A random collection of events and peculiar moments that shaped my 2024 As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to chill for a few and look back on the year. ✨ Table of Contents 🖥️ Built a New Desktop PC ✨ Push Golf and Unreal Engine 5 Petit Contest 21 🎮 Metap…

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Mother 2 , a game that was released on August 27, 1994, for the Nintendo Super Famicom in Japan.

On Monday, August 12, 2024, I attended the grand finale of the BRA★BRA FINAL FANTASY 2024 tour at Shibuya’s Bunkamura Orchard Hall .

I just got home from the Saitama leg of Hikaru Utada ’s HIKARU UTADA SCIENCE FICTION TOUR 2024 at the Saitama Super Arena (also known as SSA or TamaAri), and oh boy, what an experience it was!

Unreal Engine 5 Petit Contest is a video game creation contest based on Unreal Engine.

Unreal and I I was born in a small city but always had big dreams, especially when it came to computers and games.

This time around I didn’t included any items of equip because I felt like a short experience like this game wouldn’t need them and they would be a distraction for the player, and me trying to design them.

2023 went by so fast that I barely had time to catch my breath.

Remember the excitement of playing Super Mario on your Nintendo as a child in the 80s or 90s?

Let’s embark on my journey through 2022 as I dive into game jams, tackle coding challenges, nurture my digital garden, and experiment in the kitchen.

Ludum Dare was celebrating its 20th anniversary .

As 2021 draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to look back on all the accomplishments and challenges of the past 12 months.

I just published another game, Lands of Ambustio, which is an 80’s 8-bit style role-playing game made using RPG Maker MV.

I have been working fully remotely from my apartment since May of last year.

After I finished my ray tracer back in August last year, I was ready to tackle a new project.

Intro What if I told you that this October, I and thousands of other game developers from all over the world spent a weekend (3rd-6th) making tons of small games from scratch?

Intro Starting this year, I decided to dedicate some of my spare time to a few personal projects I never got around to actually doing due to various circumstances.

The first time I heard about BitSummit was a few years ago when I was watching Branching Paths – an excellent documentary about Japan’s indie game scene.

Introduction The Pixar exhibition I waited for has arrived in Japan!
