As 2025 comes to an end, we are excited to present the final vlog of the year on PixelHeart TV, a special episode that captures the spirit of what our studio truly is: a passionate team driven by creativity, authentic encounters, and the shared love for gaming culture. This last vlog is more than a simple recap. It is a warm and sincere look at the moments that shaped our year, from international travel to unique collaborations, behind-the-scenes footage, and the daily life of our team.
One of the highlights showcased in the vlog is our trip to Japan, a country that continues to inspire our creative work and our commitment to physical editions and collector-focused projects. During this trip, we had the pleasure of meeting our friend Jérémie from Ici Japon, a long-time supporter and collaborator. The vlog features exclusive images from our visit, capturing both the energy of Japanese gaming culture and the personal connection we maintain with international creators who share our passion.
This journey wasn’t just about discovery—it was also about strengthening ties, exploring future opportunities, and bringing back the inspiration that fuels our projects at PixelHeart.
Confessionals From the Team
This vlog includes two confessionals, offering an intimate look at the people behind PixelHeart.
Rodion – Communication Manager
Rodion shares his perspective on the challenges and joys of communicating about our projects, especially during a busy year filled with releases, events, and production milestones. His confessional highlights how we strive to keep our community informed while ensuring each message reflects the identity and values of PixelHeart.
Julien (“P’tit Ju”) – Developer
Julien opens up about his experience inside the development team, reflecting on the creative process, teamwork, and the unique energy that comes from bringing retro-inspired games to life. His testimony adds a behind-the-scenes dimension that our community rarely gets to see.
Goodies From Events and Friends
During the year, we had the opportunity to attend an event at the Odyssée Museum. In the vlog, we share the various goodies we brought back from this visit, including:
A manga titled Face Cachée, by Sylvain Runberg and Olivier Martin—a thoughtful and meaningful gift from friends of the studio.
Posters offered by Jojo Corp, creator of the podcast JV Nullos, a show entirely dedicated to gaming culture.
These gifts reflect the generosity and enthusiasm of the partners, creators, and friends who accompany us on this adventure.
Behind-the-Scenes of the Tanuki Justice Trailer
Another exciting part of the vlog takes you directly into the filming of the trailer for Tanuki Justice on Game Boy Color. We share the atmosphere of the shoot, the technical challenges, and the creativity involved in bringing this retro project to life. Fans of handheld consoles and pixel art will enjoy seeing how the trailer was captured and produced.
Spotlight on the Kickstarter for Bang Bang Busters 2
The vlog also highlights one announcements of the year: the Kickstarter campaign for Bang Bang Busters 2.
Our goal with this Kickstarter is not only to revive a beloved arcade spirit but also to offer a premium experience to collectors, retro enthusiasts, and players who follow our physical productions.
Why so few vlogs in 2025?
As we mention in the vlog, 2025 has been a challenging yet exciting year. Being a small team means that every project requires intense focus and dedication. This is why we were unable to produce as many vlogs as we wished. Our priority has always been—and will continue to be—the quality of our games, our physical editions, and the overall experience we deliver.
Despite the workload, the support we receive daily from our community keeps us going. This final vlog of 2025 is our way of saying thank you.
This closing vlog is a celebration of the people, moments, and creations that shaped 2025 for PixelHeart. From Japan to local collaborations, from development to community engagement, it reflects the values that guide us: authenticity, passion, and commitment to delivering meaningful gaming experiences.
The Kickstarter campaign for Bang² Busters 2 keeps gaining momentum, and we are thrilled to announce that we have now reached 80
