Hey, new followers!
I'm Brian, a game UI designer in Tokyo, making games worldwide since 1989.
By day, I design UI for modern games; by night, I direct, design, compose, and create pixel art with a few ex-iNiS (Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan) coworkers for our upcoming NES game!
Ask me anything!

I hate to say this, but Banana Bash will need more time.
We’ve made incredible progress, but final code still isn’t complete.
It’s frustrating, but we want this to be the best it can be, and worth your patience.
We now expect "code complete" around Q1 '26
Sorry. 😓

Development wise, We have prompts integrated for stage starts and "ring outs" , but we're behind schedule while pathing logic is figured out, this allows you to pick stages you prefer along a path, and then play the ones you didn't afterwards as a second loop.

Apologies for lack of updates. I've been trying to find a new gamedev job, as I've been unemployed for almost 6 months.
I've been working on packaging solutions and final promo stuff in between.

Been looking for a job primarily. Lots of leads and dancing around, but no signed contract yet. Western industry is a slaughterhouse ATM, so looks like I'll be at a JP company again..

Noticed a lot of NES Kickstarters like Storied Sword use live-action inserts to tell a story . Since Banana Bash stars cartoon animals and I only have myself to rely on, that’s tricky! But after months of head-scratching, I think I finally came up with a solution. Hope it’s fun!

We've been super busy on our big push over the Japanese Golden week holiday! Programming is continuing at a fantastic pace and I've been heads down in After Effects working on bits for the final Kickstarter video!
