NINJA GATE STUDIOS WILL NOT BE ATTENDING RETROGAMECON 2026 — BUT WE’LL SEE YOU IN 2027! We didn't make it into RetroGameCon this year, but we'll be back in 2027 for our tenth appearance—and we're planning to bring exclusive merch, deals, demos, and plenty more with us. We have a small update to share with everyone hoping to see Ninja Gate Studios at RetroGameCon 2026. Unfortunately, Ninja Gate Studios will not be attending RetroGameCon this year. We applied to be part of the show, but we didn't make it in for 2026. Are we bummed? Absolutely. RetroGameCon has been a part of Ninja Gate Studios' journey for years, and we were looking forward to returning once again, meeting fellow developers and retro gaming fans, showing what we've been working on, and spending another weekend surrounded by people who share our love for video games. Sometimes, though, things don't work out. So, unfortunately, we'll have to sit this one out. But we're already looking ahead. WE'LL BE BACK FOR RGC 2027 — FOR NUMBER TEN While Ninja Gate Studios won't have a presence at RetroGameCon 2026, we're already setting our sights on RetroGameCon 2027. And next year's show will be a special one. RGC 2027 will mark Ninja Gate Studios' tenth appearance at RetroGameCon. After missing this year's show, we can't think of a better way to return than by celebrating that milestone with the community that we've been proud to be a part of over the years. And we're planning to make appearance number ten count. We're aiming to bring plenty with us for RGC 2027, including: Playable game demos Exclusive Ninja Gate Studios merchandise Convention-exclusive deals and promotions Giveaways Looks at our upcoming games Ninja Gate Studios gear and collectibles Opportunities to meet members of the team And more surprises we're keeping behind the Gate for now By the time RGC 2027 arrives, we'll also have another year of development behind our projects—which means we'll have even more to show you. MORE TIME TO BUILD Missing RGC 2026 is disappointing, especially after being part of the convention so many times before. But we're choosing to look at the opportunity it gives us. Another year means another year to build. Another year to improve. Another year to create. We're continuing development on Pretty Kitty Fuzzy, while also working on our visual novel SP.I.N.E.S — Special Investigations, Negotiation, Enforcement Specialists. That extra development time gives us an opportunity to make sure that when Ninja Gate Studios returns to RetroGameCon, we're bringing something worthy of our tenth appearance. We want people to walk past the Ninja Gate Studios booth and stop. We want you to pick up a controller and play something. We want longtime RGC attendees who've seen us before to come back and see how far we've come. We want new visitors to discover a game they hadn't heard of before. We want you to grab something from the booth that you can't get anywhere else. And most importantly, we want to see the RetroGameCon community again. TO EVERYONE ATTENDING RGC 2026 While we won't be exhibiting this year, we still wish the organizers, developers, vendors, guests, and everyone attending RetroGameCon 2026 an incredible show. We're disappointed that we won't get to join you this time. After nine appearances, it's going to feel a little strange not being there. But we're not going anywhere. We'll keep developing. We'll keep building Ninja Gate Studios. And we'll be preparing for our return. RGC 2026, we'll miss you. RGC 2027, we'll see you next year. Ten appearances. One big return. And we're bringing some stuff with us. — Ninja Gate Studios

Once again @PhantomstudioT is doing great work for our visual novel SP.I.N.E.S! These are samples of the sprites of our main protagonist Aiko Tanahashi.

🚨 LOOKING FOR HELP!!!🚨 I'm looking for a Visual Novel narrative writer/designer. I've written the story and scenarios myself, but I'm looking for an individual to help proofread and possibly edit the story. #visualnovel #vndev #vnlink #writingcommunity #indiedev

While I revamp and re-tweak some mechanics in Pretty Kitty Fuzzy, we have a VN (Visual Novel) in the works. Art by @PhantomstudioT #ScreenshotSaturday

I know it's a bit late, but congrats to @Harada_TEKKEN and his studio VS Studio! I wish you and your team all the best and may your future project bring prosperity! Maybe one day we'll be fighting game dev rivals! You've inspired me to push forward. Time for me to get to work!

Is there any animators out there with a retro 80's to 90's anime style? I'm also looking to connect with any musicians who can do late 80's early 90's pop and synthwave. I'm looking to connect for a project. #lookingforanimators #retroanime #retromusic

We have a new updated banner for our Twitter/X account done by the talented @Art_Laura18! If you have the chance please commission her. If you don't, we'll send an army of ninja cats to your house...

🚨ATTN ARTISTS!!!🚨 We're looking for stage designers for our shmup. I'm need some stages redone for the new direction. Feel free to DM me or email me at ninjagatestudios [at] Gmail [dot] com. #indiegamedev #gamedev #pixelartist #lookingforartist #gameart

This project looks good! Please support the devs of the project.

It's been a while, but I just want to report something so there's no further dead air. We're still in production of Pretty Kitty Fuzzy. While it's been a turbulent process and we haven't given up and would like to thank everyone for their patience 🙏. Stay tuned for more!

In the future, when my situation gets better, I'm going to stream. Mostly my games and announcements. I'd like to thank @Art_Laura18 for these streaming layouts and overlays. She's currently looking for clients and very eager to work! She's great 👍! DM her right meow!

I've been trying to find the right sound for my game and I stumbled upon the Easter theme song for Final Fantasy 14 and I immediately loved it. Apparently it's a genre called Picopop?! So are there any Picopop artists out there? #picopop #music #chiptune #lookingformusician

I saw the Fakhumram gameplay trailer from Combo Breaker. As good as the trailer was, it shouldn't have taken 2 games to get a small lore dump for him. This is why character endings for DLC are crucial for fighting games. Tekken just gets away with doing bare minimum.

I just got done with Tekken 8 season 2. For the people saying "git gud" or "just adapt" y'all need to be locked in a room with @holyknee, @TKJDCR and @ArslanAsh95 and forced to play against them for 12 hours straight so you can truly appreciate how bad this patch is. 😂

ATTENTION: Our account was hacked the last couple of days. I don't know what damage may have been caused if there were any rude posts or messages to people. I'm going to comb through everything. I do sincerely apologize for any transgression that could have taken place.

I'm just taking a break and I just want to stop and thank @noobde @DougTenNapel and @BrianFColin. You guys were a big deal for me growing up. If it weren't for your imagination and your ideas I probably would have never thought I could be a gamedev. Thanks for the fun memories!
