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!

Updated the display for teleportation so the number of wisps Mizuki has is displayed at the cursor.
Visual feedback is key for a game like this!

Been working on improving the backgrounds for Mizuki and the Crimson Moon. Here's a timelapse of what I've been up to!

Developers don't want you to know, but this is actually the prime way to organize folders for your projects.

Don't @ me

Teleporting through the forest and see a glowing light?
Check it out!
This nice addition will make sure you don't miss a single checkpoint.

Just a quick bit of gameplay from my demo.
New update dropped last weekend!
Have you check it out?

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!
#screenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev #gamemaker #characterart
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!
#gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker #demo
Working on a little sprite updating this week.
The haunted torch has a much cooler charge-up for its attack now!
#pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #pixelanimation
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!
#pixelart #gamedev #screenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamemaker
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
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!
