The state of the Star Fox franchise

@TheMediaMines The studio, Yowza Animation, have worked on a ton of 2D shows and films imdb.com/search/title/?…

@TheMediaMines imdb.com/title/tt386376… This was directed by Saul Blinkoff and Elliot M. Bour, two Disney animators from the 90s era. Both are also known for big projects individually: Blinkoff directed Kronk's New Groove, and Bour directed Elena of Avalor.

I thought that this was a legit movie trailer at first and wondered who animated it. But it turned out to be a commercial but I'm still wondering who animated it.

The nose in the sprite is advanced tech

Video games used to have Buzz Lightyear grinding dominos to Reel Big Fish.

They modeled everything flat and then turned it into a sphere, this is insane

“They’re supposed to be realistic like the original puppets” The puppets were never meant to be realistic. Star Fox was Miyamoto’s answer to popular English puppet shows like Thunderbirds. Committing to the puppet aesthetic would have been a much better choice.

This is what age 29 to 30 feels like btw

When your Star Fox tribute looks more Star Fox than the official Star Fox remake 😅

After waiting years for a new Star Fox, I started making my own game. Now years have passed, there's another Star Fox 64 remake, and I'm still working on my own game

Just modifying the size of the eyes and legs does wonders for the designs.

Star Fox is the only series to be 75% composed of remakes/remasters, this is genuinely hilarious

awesome direct

how to turn a 3D scan into a game-ready mesh, i guess? spent a bit this afternoon tinkering with how to decimate a 3D scan without nuking the texture, kinda cursed but worked decently! #gamedev

After playing around with RetroArch settings and editing overlays in Photoshop, GameBoy games now look more or less like they're on an actual dot matrix display. (Gambatte core internal palette paired with a customised grid overlay plus border)
