Logo for 'Bomb Jack Rogue'.

'Bomb Jack Rogue' is a rejigging of the classic arcade game, with a Rogue-lite twist. Defusing explosives gets a whole lot more dangerous in 202X!

Logo for Balloon Kid '26.

We at Data West have fond memories of the original game, and thought it was about time the retro classic got an update. So, that's what we're doing!

We've also got this small project knocking around at Data West Towers. A galactic fighting tournament, in the form of a 'Rogue'-like deckbuilder!

Another idea that's rattling around the halls of Data West is 'Zombémon', a monster-battling card game where all the critters are dead! Keep it locked to our socials for more!

Concept art of 'Usagi' (King Of The Zoo Legends).

Work continues on 'Legends'. I've taken a break from actually writing the game, to concentrate on the character design.

Logo for 'King Of The Zoo Legends' (also known as 'Bokosuka Penguin Wars'), a tribute to the original Game Boy (and arcade) game from the '80s. If Nintendo doesn't send their attack lawyers after us, it'll be out in 202X! :D

Logo for 'InventoRematch', a game in the works at Data West.

... It's an inventory management Roguelite in the vein of 'Backpack Battles, where the aim is to defeat your opponent with a tidy workspace.

Coming in 202X... keep it locked to the Data West socials for more information!

'Turnbound GB' is a demake of the PC game 'Turnbound' (an inventory management puzzler that's due to be released on January 22nd - demo out now!). It's a love letter to the original, which you should absolutely buy on Steam when it releases. As for our version, check out our socials for more!

Fan-art of Chops.

I know it's not quite time yet - but I'm tired, and can't be bothered to wait fifteen minutes to upload this pixel art of Chops I made to herald the change in date. Happy 2026, and thank you for all the interest in Data West this year! :D

The last post of 2025... who is this? Well, stick around in the new year, and you're GON-na find out.
