PSCD Games: "Friends!!! I wish you a happy new year. I wish you all good health, and if you have good health, you will certainly receive everything else. Thank you so much for supporting our team!!!
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to complete BJR by the end of this year. The main reason is that I still don't have the final version of the MD-Engine. But that doesn't mean the project won't happen. Everything is fine. We'll also have another ..."

Added Phantom Gear for SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive

Mega Cat Studios: "To make the testing process even more efficient for our QA cats, the Bits Rule team built a custom level mapping editor.
This tool allows us to visualize and track every single pathway and hidden area in the game. By mapping everything out, we can ensure that no stone is left unturned and that every corner of the world is fully tested, regardless of how well it's hidden.
Looking Ahead: Events & Announcements
We are currently planning to attend a few events in the coming year! We’re still waiting on final confirmations, but as soon as we know exactly where we’ll be, we will let you know so we can hopefully connect in person.

Added Kirito for SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive









https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0SIfWp5dZY

Thulf Ham: "Originally, Kirito was scheduled for release in December 2025. However, as development has progressed, we’ve realized that certain features and systems need additional time to reach the level of quality and polish we believe you deserve. Rather than rushing the process, we’ve decided to take a bit more time to ensure the final experience is as strong, refined, and enjoyable as possible.
We know delays are never easy news to hear, and we sincerely thank you for your understanding and patience. This additional development time will allow us to improve gameplay, enhance overall stability, and deliver a game that truly reflects the passion behind this project.
We are deeply grateful for ..."

Added Vigilant Paradise for SEGA Saturn







https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXw2VcJDEVU

Playnautic: "Vigilant Paradise is a brand new first person shooter for the Sega Saturn. It was a self-funded, five-year journey of many a late night. My personal quest to make an exclusive first person shooter for the beloved, underrated console; and relive some of the magic of mid-90's gaming.

Vigilant Paradise features:

- A full single-player campaign with 3D characters, weapons, and levels
- Two playable characters with differing weapons and story paths
- Over 15 minutes of in-engine cutscenes with cheesy, 90's-style voiceovers
- A shameless overuse of CD synth music
- A symphony of Japanese silicon - utilizing both Saturn CPU's, both VDP's, all standard memory chips, CD audio, and PCM playback."

Pop'n Wizz

In Castle-Block, magic isn’t measured in potions or prophecies… it’s measured in tiles. Every year, the village hosts the legendary tournament known as The Brick Brawl, where witches from all over the world compete to earn one title: New Witch on the Block!

This year, the crowd is especially excited because the contenders aren’t just any witches-They’re sisters.

Pop is the younger one: bright-eyed, fearless, and bursting with energy. She doesn’t solve puzzles so much as she pounces on them.

Wizz is the older one: calm, clever, and always three moves ahead. She studies patterns like they’re spells—and honestly, for her, they kind of are.

They bicker, they giggle, they brag… but when it counts, they click like perfectly stacked tiles.

Their dream is simple: win the Trials, raise the shiny Block Crown high above their hats, and prove—once and for all—which sister is the best witch in the family.
