Pixels and Polygons Newsletter Vol 2

I didn’t expect to be back with another newsletter so soon! I planned to send one or two a month, so I appreciate you checking this out so soon after the last one.

I had a great SDCC trip and saw quite a few cool gaming related goods and I figure I’d share them with you all.

First, my Kickstarter for 32 Bit Library Volume 4 ends in just a couple hours, so this is your last chance to get the deluxe oversized edition (it’s the same slipcase versions I’ve done in the past). 412 pages of every Square, Atlus, Enix, and Working Designs game covered with fully written retrospectives for every game. There is a ton of bonus content by Jason Dvorak, John Linneman, Kurt Kalata, and Audi Sorlie.

SDCC Photo Gallery!

I’ve been going to SDCC for 15+ years, and over the years I’ve seen it significantly grow for media companies, specifically in the movie and TV avenues. When I first started going, Sony had a PlayStation booth that was a mini-E3 style booth with promos and giveaways. There was a presence from other game companies, too. Capcom, Konami, Square, Bandai/Namco, Nintendo, and more. Over the years, they’ve all adjusted and scaled back, and even completed dropped out. I always enjoy finding pockets of gaming stuff while I am there. Here are some highlights.

I’ll share these photos and more in a free post on my Patreon after I get home. I have a lot more to share and show off, and Unbox Industries shared a cool production story about the Final Fight license. I’ll write up a whole SDCC recap and talk a bit more about it all later. Be sure to follow my Patreon, it’s free, and you can get some more behind-the-scenes content, as well!
