I wanted to illustrate an Ys Adol chibi in the style of Bubble Bobble for funsies. #ys #fanart #chibi #jrpg

An Adol pikkard? He’s a fierce warrior!….and likes cuddles #ys #fanart #procreate #jrpg

It's been a year since this aired when Panda and I were interviewed and I got to talk about our first game. Hope it happens again once we release Nyanja! :3

I love the Apothecary Diaries and wanted to make this silly meme with Mao-Mao & Jinshi cuz I thought it was so fitting! 😝 I'll likely turn these little chibis into acrylic charms. I have my charms on sarumaru.com if you wanna check em out 😁 #apothecarydiaries #薬屋のひとりごと #chinesememe #anime #fanart

アニメ『バブルガム・クライシス』のプリシラ・S・アサギリ、SDバージョン。 #アニメ #digitalart #fanart

This chibi art of Chrono was made for an acrylic charm sometime ago. Never got into the game but hoping to change that soon..maybe 😅 #fanart #digitalart #chronotrigger #snes #retrogaming

I made this image for an acrylic charm sometime ago but I kinda sort wish a Bomberman cereal was a real thing 😅

Now that The Nyanja is almost finished (apologies for the delays! We had good reason😁 ), maybe it's time to revisit this little project. What do you think? #fxunityuki #indiedev #gbstudio #gameboy #retrogames

Does Princess Yukiko look familiar to you? IYKYK :) Our game "The Nyanja!" is full of scenes reminiscent of those cutscenes of old, made the same way for REAL Retro hardware with Physical Media! We don't just want to look like those old games. We ARE those old games. #indiedev #oc #pixelart #ドット絵

This is Nezumikozo. A stoic and serious sword-wielding mouse that's determined to keep our heroes, Nyanmaru and Nekomi, from getting the Jade Paw back! Will he succeed? #indiegame #indiedev #oc #pixelart #ドット絵

Meet Kuzunoha, the villainess of The Nyanja! This cold-hearted Fox Queen will prove to be the biggest challenge our heroes! Sprites are from game assets. Turbo CD available VERY soon! Dreamcast version coming later this year! GO to sarupro.itch.io/thenyanja for demos! #indiedev #indiegame

Happy Summer! #oc #fxunityuki

I just backed KUROHI and you should too! :) — New Metroidvania Adventure for Game Boy Color & PC on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sof...

Before the Miko Hearts appeared in the Nyanja (see previous post), they looked quite different, with different names and backstories. Once in the Nyanja, they took on the more chibi aesthetic of that game.

Before the Miko Heart, the guest character in The Nyanja had their appearance altered to be more chibi to fit the Nyanja aesthetic; they were designed more like the designs in FX Unit Yuki in their 2D promo art. Do you like them in their chibi forms or this? :) #oc

Happy hump day! Nyanmaru gibs u a hart~<3 #oc

I drew this by hand back in 2019 but over the years, I would draw tons Kunio art, starting when I was a kid. My first ever Kunio game was a bootleg on the FC I got in Chinatown, LA in 1990 of Nekketsu Dodgeball. Thank you Yoshihisa Kishimoto for all the great memories! #岸本良久

Playing some random retro tonight cuz I got a couple games 🎮 I wanna play! Come join meeeeeee~ (18+ language and adult themes) www.twitch.tv/saruprogames...

Mondays get you down? How about starting the week with our newest and final TG16/PCE CD demo of The Nyanja! The final demo build adds the latest mechanics, new opening cutscene AND 3 worlds! Get it here sarupro.itch.io/thenyanja

Happy Monday! <3 #oc

Good Morning!

Have a good weekend! #oc

The "Air-Kick" attack is a unique mechanic for this type of single-screen classic arcade action game. Kick stunned enemies right out of the air and kick them into other stunned enemies to create combos! It's very satisfying 😸 #oc #indiedev

The NEW opening cutscene for our game, The Nyanja! Coming VERY soon. Originally, these scenes were going to be static images with text like in FX Unit Yuki, but we've taken the extra time to revamp these scenes to make them more like original TurboGrafx/PC Engine CD cutscenes. #indiedev

Happy Popful Mail day <3 #ぽっぷるメイル #popfulmail #falcom

Yuki & Nyanmaru wish you a Good Morning! #oc

It's time.

Not only am I excited for this video as I'm also getting this same color SuperStation , I was excited to see that MLP was able to show off our newest game, the Nyanja! Check out the video below 😁 #indiedev #retregaming youtu.be/gRjre-L7v7s?...

In 2015, I created the character Oni-Bro for a game that was to be called Oni-Island. His game never happened and FX Unit Yuki started a year. However, there is a stage called Oni-Island in Yuki and Oni-Bro does appear in-game. Have you spotted him? #indiedev #indiegame #oc

🚨ATTENTION🚨 We're currently looking for folks who can help us port The Nyanja to the Mega Drive & Dreamcast. The job will be paid as contracted work. Also looking to properly port FX Unit Yuki to MD again too so any SGDK folks out there pls inquire within! #indiedev #indiegame

If you see dis, post an elf!
