I used to compose and perform music, and recently learned FamiTracker, but this advice is something to consider.🤔

@arakichi1969 His Star Wars poster art is iconic. I saw the octopus in the Famicom game and remembered one of my cards I've had for 40 years with the octopus from the deleted film scene. I scanned the front and back just now. Cool, right?

There's still traces of red clay from my 1986 Fireball Island stop motion video. I used the clay for a fireball effect.

I love the humor I've seen so far in @SokZaJelo's homebrew SNES game, "Till & Hat".

@nostalgicrealms I haven't tried any smear frames in my sprite work yet. Another thing to add to the "to-learn" list.

@mossmouth @PixelCNinja I guess I did it the Japanese way even before I moved to Japan. x.com/EricGameCo/sta…

I was only familiar with the ubiquitous Japanese Pop-up Pirate (黒ひげ危機一発) which @takaratomytoys began producing in 1975. This earlier Frankenstein one is so cool.
