In this video we discuss the interesting history of the US vs the Japanese release of Super Mario Bros 2 for the NES.
This video focuses almost entirely on the marketing decisions made at the time and not on art.
Sorry about that occasional ticking sound.. I have no idea what caused it and didn't hear it in my headset while we were recording. I'll make sure our next video doesn't have this audio issue.

This video explains the menu options in this modular animation tool. This was the very first prototype of Spriter, which was created with retro devices and pixel art in mind. It's animations are now supported on classic Amiga by the Scorpion Engine and by the game MetroSiege which we're creating in collaboration with Pixelglass and Enable Software.

In this video we respond to some great viewer feedback from our recent clip video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vpnct-MZmM And Mike puts his pixels where his mouth was, actually making quick repaints of a Gods screenshot to demonstrate how to reduce confetti syndrome.
That clip video was taken from a full length Forensic Pixology video which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tppwRu4kixk
