BAKERU - Clear Skies! On the Road to Adventures
Yesterday I drew my original characters Tobirama and Joy in Naruto SD Rock Lee and his ninja pals anime style.
But both yesterday and today I drew sketches and doodles of my favorite characters including my Original Character and Persona Princess Sparkle in chibi form.

Bakeru
If you ask people who grew up in a specific gaming generation, Konami was one of the legends of the video game industry. It produced numerous franchises such as Contra, Castlevania, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and even many successful licensed games such as their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. Ultimately, talent and leadership are what makes a company, and the company has had multiple exoduses that resulted in the formation of other talented companies founded by ex-Konami employees. These include Treasure (Gunstar Heroes, Light Crusader, Sin and Punishment: A Successor to the Earth), ArtPlay (Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night), Kojima Productions (Death Stranding) and GoödFeël. GoödFeël in particular was founded by former Konami programmer, Goemon producer/director and Ebisumaru namesake, Etsunobu Ebisu. It started out making Japan-only educational games such as English Training and Training Quiz for about three years, before transitioning into action games with a light-hearted feel. GoödFeël is probably best known for their Nintendo-published games, of which there are quite a handful, including Yoshi’s Woolly World, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Wario Land: Shake It! and Princess Peach: Showtime! In addition to those, however, GoödFeël has developed a few games that were not published by Nintendo. These include the company’s early educational titles, plus two action games at time of writing this article: Monkey Barrels and Bakeru. Monkey Barrels is a low-mid budget top-down twin-stick shooter involving monkeys. Bakeru, meanwhile, is a possible spiritual successor to the Goemon series with a style of its own.

After finishing Bakeru a few days ago, it gave me an idea of a drawing. Knowing that the game is a spiritual successor to the Goemon series (even having the same team working on the game), I felt like drawing Bakeru teaming up with his predecessor, Goemon. Here is the two posing awesome together. 😊
Japanese games localization priorities
Genuinely hoping Bakeru ends up doing well cause I think it's gonna be one of the absolute best hidden gems coming out this year. So here's some doodles for the occasion
I played a demo for a little game called Bakeru, which is coming out VERY SOON. It's a very fun action platformer thing. I also love finding trivia-giver Scoop around the levels, even if his appearance is, uh....
