Custom Sprites:
– Combatribes: Finally gets its own gallery page and new fight stance sprites for all three heroes.
– Moon Child: Yes, I couldn’t resist and had to make a sprite of him, too. If you don’t know about him, I’ll explain later in this update post.
Mini-logo: Moon Child added to Team Hoi
– edit April 29, 2026: after original game artist added a much clearer version of the game logo, I updated my mini-logo version to match it better AND added a gradient light blue-to-white version.
All new sprites and mini-logos were added to the main GFX Generator, which I used to make the graphic at the top of this post. I still have some item preview errors to iron out after adding SSL earlier this month, but the picture results still work.
edit April 25 3:18 AM: I think I’ve got the issue ironed out, things SHOULD be back to normal.
One of my favorite game-related happenings this year is the discovery, online rise and legit appreciation of the 1997 PC Moon Child, mainly on Bluesky. What pulled me in was this Bluesky post about the unexpected music, because, no, I was not ready. You can read a more about the game’s creation, set backs, and current revival phenomenon in this Aftermath story, but I have to post some of the music that helped hook so many of us.
I’ll basically say what the Bluesky post said: think of the music a cute late 90s platformer game. Seriously. Once you’ve thought of it, play the video.
These pics show progress on the 3D toy aisles I’m working on in Blender, with the Transformers section getting Megatron and Starscream in the second pic.
The G.I. JOE section in the first pic also has the Dragonfly helicopter, a box that’s not in the 2D background in the image generators yet. Those were shots I posted on Bluesky and IG, but here’s a brand new shot of the MASK section for you:
MASK got two more new boxes, the Rhino (next to Boulder Hill) and the Jackhammer (next to the Thunderhawk on the upper shelves), making it more stocked than the 2D version. Since you bothered to read this, I’ll let you in on a secret: today’s update also fixes that 2D toy aisle in the image generators, fixing the He-Man and Battle Cat boxed set.
I planned to have a toy section update, but that’ll have to wait, even though I did take a few pics of the SH Figuarts Mario.
