Hello, IŌĆÖm Takashi Kitao, a software engineer. I started as a game developer, and now IŌĆÖm focused on developing Pyxel, an open-source project.
Pyxel is a retro game engine for Python, featuring a simple yet extensible design, built-in development tools, support for Windows, Mac, and Linux (including Raspberry Pi and Chromebook), and free commercial use under the MIT license.


Since its release in 2018, Pyxel has gained worldwide attention, surpassing 16,000 stars and 1,100,000 downloads as of 2025. ItŌĆÖs now ranked as the top game development environment for Python and has been adopted in various educational settingsŌĆöfrom schools to coding classesŌĆöas well as in commercial game titles.
My goal with Pyxel is to create an environment where anyone, from children to adults, can learn programming through the fun of game development. To continue achieving this, substantial time and resources are needed for new features, platform testing, OS updates, and bug fixes.
ThatŌĆÖs why IŌĆÖm seeking support from GitHub Sponsors. Your sponsorship will help enhance my development resources, expand technical documentation, and strengthen user support, allowing me to deliver even more value to the Pyxel community.
With your support, IŌĆÖm excited to take Pyxel to the next level, making it an even more valuable resource for users worldwide. Thank you for your support and encouragement!
