Meet Testujin, a towering, muscular monk wielding a massive a temple gate pedestal as a weapon, he crushes enemies with brute force. He dwells within a haunted temple shrouded in mist and whispers, serving as its relentless guardian-where intruders find only silence... and ruin. #indiedev #art

The alluring but deadly Bee Maiden Suzume summons venomous bees with just a clap of her hands. Suzume uses her mesmerizing charm and deadly control over her bee army to crush her enemies, leaving only silence and the faint hum of her swarm in the air 🐝 #indiedev #indiegame

Kabukiba, an enigmatic figure and a master of the fan dance. He's one of four fearsome generals of the Shadow Kitsune Gang that The Nyanja must face. A master Kabuki performer by day, his dramatic flair and precise, theatrical movements translate into a deadly elegance in battle. #indiedev

ℹ️ Something new to share with the folks of Bluesky #gaming about me. Many many years ago, I was tasked to come up with the main character design for a character named Pippi, the mascot of a rhythm game called Osu! for PC. Some color similarities with our Yuki, no doubt (Pink hair+green eyes) 😁

Bargain! 😝 www.ebay.com/itm/15619010...

Big thanks to everyone following me here on Bluesky! I feel like I am getting way more traction here than X (which I've been on for well over decade!) and it says a lot. So if you're following, big thanks!

Friend of mine worked on this absolutely fantastic game (first on the PC Engine now on many platforms including Switch). So many retro in-jokes! But don’t let that make you think it is not also a great game on its own. Really low price right now too.

🎉🥳🥂

FX Unit Yuki is available on a number of classic gaming platforms. You can get your Yuki stuff at www.sarumaru.com and download our demos on sarupro.itch.io

This is Game Tanteidan - TV Game Revival in Namba, Osaka. The home store for FX-Unit Yuki in Japan! They were the first store to carry Yuki in Japan in May 2018. Fitting as Yuki takes place in Den-Den Machi, a parody of Osaka's Den Den Town where this store is. #japan #indiedev #gaming

In 2017, the (at the time) Youtube retro game duo @gamesack.net stopped by to check out our game. Did they like it? No idea.

Hello Bluesky! We are a small dev team bringing retro-inspired games to real retro hardware and new consoles like the Nintendo Switch. In 2016, we began work on our game FX Unit Yuki, known as only "Henshin Engine" back then. Here's a picture from one of our first conventions ever. #indiedev
