Mizuki and the Crimson Moon - Demo Released!

Mizuki spots a demo update!
A new version of the demo for Mizuki and the Crimson Moon just dropped! With so many improvements and additions, I can't mention them all here (although I will through this next week).
Check it out while it's fresh!

Thank you! It’s taken a long time for me to get to this point…practice pays off!

Did some new animations for the good 'ol basic human foes! Now they can do a little bit more against Mizuki.
All of this is for a demo update tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Oh yeah, this is all too real.
That’s how I’ve been feeling the past couple months lol.
Hang in there you got this!

Adding some extra tile layers didn't just make this maple trees look much better...
They created Mizuki hidey holes!

Mizuki and the Crimson Moon has hit 250 wishlists!
Hurray!
It's been a long road, but it's a nice place to be. Thanks to everyone who has wishlisted it and sticking around to see my first game get developed.
Something new is coming this weekend too!

Getting some new and polish dialog art ready for Mizuki and the Crimson Moon. Mizuki is ready to fight!

It's the first boss fight!
Almost...the Yokai Hunter just needs a bit more prep time.
That doesn't mean there isn't plenty of gameplay to be enjoyed though!

Working on a little sprite updating this week.
The haunted torch has a much cooler charge-up for its attack now!

Here’s hoping for the best! I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Well, I’ve been sick.
Here’s some Mizuki.
More game demo updates soon…

I was planning on it but decided that I need a bit more prep time. I wish you all the best of luck though, hopefully it is worth it!

Hanging out at #FanX2025 ready to spread knowledge of Mizuki and the Crimson Moon! If you want to hear me talk about my game or old gen monster hunter, come say hello!

I still love the new dive attack animation, but it's hard to see in game because Mizuki moves so fast, so here it is zoomed in!

Got a macro keyboard as a present from my parents. Very excited to use this to develop my game, it’s so nice to use and makes creating sprites so much faster!
Get yourself on if you haven’t.
#gamedev #coding #pixelart

Was that a little overkill?
Yes.
But is the new attack fun to use?
Also yes!

Working on getting more background effects and swaps into the longer stages.

Nothing like traveling through a dense forest and getting to see an amazing view!
#indiegame #gamedev #gamemaker #platformer #background

I totally get this feeling. Gotta finish one game before getting to another one.
Good luck!

Today marks a bit over 3 years since I began working on Mizuki and the Crimson Moon!
Time to jump for joy! Or, uh...jump for coins.

I now have a demo and am planning on entering an updated version into Steam NextFest! I hope you'll check it out :)

Happy #silksong release day! To celebrate, here's some redone art of Mizuki the kitsune cosplaying everyone's favorite needle-wielding bug!
#indiegame #hollowknight #characterart

Yep, that’s true! Honestly, the time to clean up code and refactor is definitely soon. Just slightly dreading the day.

This is definitely me right now.
The code refactor / commenting session is inevitable...but maybe I can put it off a bit longer...

Satisfying gameplay is making a dive attack right out of a teleport to 'BREAK' an enemy.
#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev

It’s been a real productive couple of weeks! You should totally check out the demo if you like teleportation or Japan :)

A pun indeed! But just a small one. :)

Happy Friday everyone! Ready for a nice 'BREAK' this weekend? Mizuki definitely is!
#gamedev #indiegame #GameMaker #pixelart

Wooooooo! It's finally happening. Mizuki and the Crimson Moon in Steam NextFest! I hope you'll consider checking it out because there is going to be a lot of work done between now and then.
#indiegame #gamedev #steam #nextfest

Hey, it’s Wednesday!
Have you tried Mizuki and the Crimson Moon yet? It’s a teleportation platformer you’re not gonna want to miss. Got some big changes coming soon too!

Woah!
Bubsy is back?!? What?

If Bubsy can make it then so can you! Finish your video game or dream project that you’ve been working on. I know I will!

You got this!

Healing is getting a fun rework!
Enter a wisp-infused state and strike enemies to use their essence to convert your energy into health!
While damage cannot normally be dealt in this state, you can still BREAK enemies for extra heals!
