Chico's Rebound is delayed until 2026. So sorry, I just ran out of time to reasonably ship it this year! It is coming along well, just need a few extra months in the oven.

Thank you so much for your patience, I hope you look forward to playing it still!

Chico's Rebound is delayed to 2026

Well, it turns out there are only 12 months in a year, and we’re running out of them. Although Chico’s Rebound was announced with a 2025 release date, it’s not going to be possible to keep to that.

The game is coming along well, it really is nearly complete. But there are other tasks that will require time (localization, QA, porting) not to mention platforms often have a built-in delay to give them time for approval.

And so we’re pushing to 2026. It will probably be early 2026, but you’ll know a more exact date when I am sure about it!
Thank you so much for your patience!

Hello. Are you making a game or art that could in any way be described as "retro"? If so, I'd love to see it! Please reply below. (no AI stuff, thx)

I finally made a new trailer for Chico's Rebound, and revamped the Steam page. Now it's a much better representation of what the game is like. Check it out! Sound on for some nice chiptunes too

Finally wrote about Silent Hill f, the "not Silent Hill" complaints, and ultimately what the series needs to learn from it in order to move past both Team Silent and the cancellation of Silent Hills.

Opinion – Silent Hill Needed To Kill Its Past

Silent Hill f proves that Silent Hill is at its best when it's not beholden to its past.

One coyote snarls at another one which rears back with a look of 'dude! chill!' against the backdrop of limestone cliffs. A black-billed magpie ignores the scene.
