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

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

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

1/2 Happy Friday! BIG NEWS!! Our game, The Nyanja! has been delayed again and while that might not be good news to some, the big news is that The Nyanja is officially being ported to the Sega Dreamcast! We will have a playable demo as well as a way to preorder that next week. See below for details!

The Nyanmaru disc is a 3-stage demo while the Nekomi disc is a music CD sampler 😸

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.

Sarumaru @sarumarux.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

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

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

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

Sarumaru @sarumarux.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

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

Sarumaru @sarumarux.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

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

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

Sarumaru @sarumarux.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

🚨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

Art for one of the tribute games in FX Unit Yuki, this was made to represent the Zapman stage, a tribute stage to both Shockman and Megaman X. Electric Cyber Troopers Zapman - Jipang 1982 would take place over a decade before FXUY and feature a young Nobuyuki Endo from FXUY. #oc

This Is Wendy (Windy a past life), a minor character in FX Unit Yuki that only appeared in a single panel of the comic book. She was meant to have a bigger part, but due to my scaling down FX Unit Yuki due to time, her character never developed. #oc
