🐾 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

Promotional image for Michi-Suji Puzzle: Michi Connect. A yellow cat pushes a glowing block against a bright blue-sky background. A colorful banner at the bottom reads “Coming August 10,” announcing the game’s Steam release date.

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.

Of course! I’d be happy if this idea inspires something in your game 😊 I’d love to see how you make it your own!

010

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

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.

I already participated in Steam Next Fest in June, so I don’t have another festival lined up at the moment. Pairing the release date announcement with a new trailer or a larger update could still be a good approach, though. Thanks for the suggestion!

001

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Thanks! The Steam page and demo are already live, so wishlists are being collected while I finish the game. I’m mainly deciding when to announce the exact release date, but I appreciate the advice!

100

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

That’s a good point. I hadn’t considered a softer announcement like that, so I’ll give it some thought. Thanks for the suggestion!

100

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Yeah, that’s exactly the awkward part 😅 I have a target date in mind, but I’m leaning toward waiting until the price is approved before making it official. I’d rather announce it once the store setup is fully locked in.

100

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Haha, I’ll keep that in mind 😄 I also checked out STATIC-HEART—the dreamlike pixel-art atmosphere is really interesting. Thank you again for the support, and good luck with your game too! 🐾

010

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Right now, final polish is taking the most time—especially level balancing and reviewing the stages. The store setup is mostly waiting on price approval, and the achievements are nearly finished. It’s funny how the work players may barely notice can take the longest 😅

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me 💗 I’m doing my best to make the full version worth the wait 🐾

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Milestone reached! 🐾 The Steam build for the full version has been approved for release! 🎉 There's still work to do—achievements, final polish, and store setup—but it's exciting to be one step closer to launch. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #Steam

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

Dev note 🐾 A tiny detail that took more work than expected 😅 The Image Hint stays locked until it becomes available. Selecting it plays a sound and shows: “Image hint is not available yet.” Small details matter too. #indiedev #gamedev #puzzlegame #indiegame

YuruPuz Studio @nowsw.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

#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

0104

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

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

Thank you! I’m glad the Next Fest results gave the game a good starting point. I’ll keep improving Michi-Suji Puzzle toward the full release 🐾
