🐾 A little development story: During development, I called this little cat “Michico.” It’s not her official name — just a nickname I used while making the game. So officially, she still has no name. But it was always like, “Come on, Michico, push that block!” 😂 #MichiConnect #indiedev #indiegame

A game screen showing a yellow, cube-shaped cat character straining to push a glowing white relay block across a purple platform. The cat has its eyes closed and is bracing itself, with beads of sweat flying as it pushes the block.

🐾 Dev Log We’re making small adjustments for release. We improved the hint text in Stage 2. Instead of referring to the “glowing paw print,” it now explains that the glowing floor shows where to place the next block. A clearer guide for players ✨ #michisuji #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlegame

Move blocks and connect the light to the goal in a cozy 3D puzzle game. Michi-Suji Puzzle: Michi Connect will launch on Steam on August 10, 2026! We're putting the finishing touches on the game! Wishlist & Demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4443340/ #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames #Steam

Gameplay screenshot showing the stage completion screen for Stage H28. The puzzle board is dimmed in the background while a large "STAGE CLEARED!!" message appears across the center. The player earned a Gold rank by clearing the puzzle in 50 moves, and a gold medal featuring a cat and a paw print is displayed prominently. Retry and Next buttons are shown in the bottom-right corner.

Gameplay screenshot from Stage H17. A yellow cat stands on the right side of a multi-level 3D puzzle board with start and goal blocks, movable blocks, walls, and obstacles. Trees and crates surround the stage against a muted, calm background.

Gameplay screenshot from Stage 21. A yellow cat stands near the front of a compact 3D puzzle board containing start and goal blocks, numbered blocks marked “6,” and several obstacles. Floating trees, ladders, lamps, and crates decorate the background.

Dev note 🐾 The demo uses a “fatigue meter”: the cat’s face shows how close you are to the medal limit without using numbers. The full game now shows steps for clarity, but I kept the expressions. This is the most tired face. This cat gets tired pretty easily 😹 #indiedev #gamedev #michisujipuzzle

A tired cat face drawn with black lines inside a yellow rounded square. The cat has drooping eyebrows, closed eyes, a small nose and mouth, and whiskers on both sides, representing its most exhausted state.

Dev log 🐾 Yesterday, I spent the day making small fixes. The changes are hard to notice on screen, but I think the full version is now about 50% synced with the demo. Trying not to introduce any regressions along the way... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

#screenshotsaturday When relay blocks connect in a chain, each connection sound rises along the white-key scale 🎵 I couldn’t find every note in the same timbre, so I tuned a favorite SFX in Audacity and created 14 notes from A4 to G6. Thanks as always, OtoLogic! #indiedev #gamedev #puzzlegame

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Dev note 🐾 I spent about a month adjusting the distance at which relay blocks connect with light. If it was too long or too short, the puzzle balance felt off. In the end, I think the current distance works best for the gameplay. What do you think? ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

For this puzzle game, I sketched each stage in a spreadsheet. I made one sheet per stage, planned the starting layout and goal state, then tested it in-game. There may have been a better way, but it was a very hands-on process 😅 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlegame

Spreadsheet sketch of a narrow vertical puzzle stage. Colored cells mark the floor, walls, player, start, goal, and movable relay blocks.

The same narrow vertical stage implemented in the game, viewed from above, with the yellow cat and two glowing relay blocks placed on the purple floor.

Spreadsheet sketch of a larger, more complex puzzle stage, showing the planned floor layout, walls, player position, start, goal, and relay blocks.

A small localization reflection: Stage settings, tutorial text, and UI labels were managed in different places, so checking all translatable text was harder than expected. Next time, I want to design for localization from the start 🐾 #indiedev #indiegames #localization

I added hints for when players get stuck 🐾 Text Hint gives a small clue about the first move or idea. Image Hint shows a block layout close to the final solution. But Image Hint unlocks only after a certain number of moves. I wanted players to think first. #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

Stage 14 in Michi-Suji Puzzle – Michi Connect with the hint menu open. The Text Hint explains that connecting from the lower level makes it easier to reach the goal, while the Image Hint shows a reference layout close to the final block positions.

This stage was built around an idea I mentioned before: Changing your point of view can be part of the puzzle. Some information is hidden from the top view alone, so you need to switch cameras and check the sides of the blocks. I don’t clear it in this video, though… 🐾 #indiedev #indiegame

I chose 4 fixed camera angles instead of a free camera. Top-down is easier to read, but upper floors can hide what is below. Side views reveal slopes, lower floors, and clues on block sides. Changing how you look is part of the puzzle 🐾 #indiedev #gamedev #puzzlegame #indiegame

A diagonal top-down view of a 3D puzzle stage in Michi-Suji Puzzle. The image shows upper and lower floors, slopes, one-way blocks, and the cat character near the goal.

A near top-down view of the same stage. The overall layout and block positions are easy to read, but some lower areas are hidden under the upper floor.

A side view of the same stage. The slopes, height differences, and side-facing information on blocks, such as one-way directions, are easier to see.

Another angled side view of the same stage. Lower floors, slopes, and block-side clues that are harder to see from above are visible.

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

There is no single fixed answer in this game. As you can see in this GIF, the blocks can end up in different places each time you clear the stage. At first, all you need to do is connect the light. Aiming for a gold medal can come later 🐾 #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame #SteamNextFest

Key config support was trickier than expected. Players select an action, then press the key or button they want to assign. But displayed key names depend on the controller, so the input prompts under each button need flexible spacing. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
