Just hit over 2k downloads and browser plays on itch.io of Crash Bandicoot Twisted! The biggest traffic drivers were itch itself,(it got ranked towards the top of the GBA page), YouTube and Google. Also big shout out to @crashynews.bsky.social for covering it early.

This is Tabby McWhiskers, defence attorney. This character was originally from a small Phoenix Wright homage I made for my wife. What crimes has your pet been charged with that he could defend in court? #pixelart #aceattorney

Really cool to see the first YouTube creator cover my little Crash Bandicoot fan project is from Brazil. The YouTube translation was a little spotty, but he seemed quite positive! youtu.be/BQUXDPYEzwk?...

Remade Jungle Jam from Crash Bandicoot’s Huge Adventure. Still a ton of bugs to fix, but close to done with the jungle art. Also shout out to raym.app for making it easy to inspect the level designs. #CrashBandcoot #pixelart #GBA

Here's one of our beloved cities in Godshard Chronicles.

Which city is your favourite from an RPG?

One of ours is Meribia from the Lunar series.

10 colors, pixelart. A rough small thing.
Testing a way to maybe make gifs upload not horrendously blurry.

Datadog has just launched the 2025 State of Containers and Serverless report. It's been interesting to be a small part of putting this together.

It's no longer about being serverless or not serverless. It's about choosing the right technology for your workload.

State of Containers and Serverless | Datadog
We analyze cloud compute trends, from containers to serverless to rising GPU and Arm adoption, as organizations seek efficiency and cost control.
