I’m working on MeloMisterio! This one is almost done too... #screenshotsaturday #MeloMisterio

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I've moved the camera a little closer here. When it's farther away, the walls tend to get between the camera and the player, which actually makes it harder to see. #gamedev #indiegame

I’m working on MeloMisterio! One of them was surprisingly easy to implement, so hopefully I can finish the other one just as smoothly. #screenshotsaturday #MeloMisterio

Come to think of it, I don't think I've used a 3:1 rhythm much before. #gamedev #music

I've tweaked it so you can tell what's ahead after a jump and how the mechanics moved while you were in the air. #indiedev #UE5

The enemy attack sound doesn't play when I successfully counter, so I might tweak it... #gamedev #indiegame

I’m working on MeloMisterio! I hadn't organized the licenses, so it was a bit of a hassle... #screenshotsaturday #MeloMisterio

This part is pretty much the same as in the previous post, aside from some camera adjustments. I remember making quite a few changes to the areas around here, though... #gamedev #indiegame

It seems like I can handle melody-based mechanics with two motifs. #indiedev #music

Thank you for the past four days! I made it home safely (though I got soaked at the very end), and I've finished unpacking, so I'm going to take it easy tomorrow.

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

You can actually play the trailer's melody in the game, since I made it with that in mind. The logic for the sounds played by note pickups has changed since then, though, so some parts can't be reproduced... #gamedev #music

I’m working on MeloMisterio! I've applied for SELECTED INDIE 80 every year since development began, and finally got selected on my fourth try. MeloMisterio is almost four years into development. It's taking time, but the finish line is in sight. #screenshotsaturday #TGS2026

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I struggled quite a bit because nothing seemed to change despite following what I found, but I think I've managed to get it working the way I wanted. #gamedev #indiegame

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I've tweaked this many times, but I think it's good enough now. #indiedev #UE5

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I’m working on MeloMisterio! UE's standard CommonUI plugin isn't designed to distinguish between mouse and keyboard input, so this was a bit tricky, but I think I've managed to make it work. #screenshotsaturday #UE5

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

To me, this is one of the standard rhythms in 4/4 time. #gamedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I had the most fun playing this area early in development, so I've been tweaking other areas based on what made this part fun. #indiedev #UE5

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

When phrases have similar beginnings, they somehow feel related even if the rest is completely different. #gamedev #music

I’m working on MeloMisterio! I've been working on the little details. #screenshotsaturda #MeloMisterio

I thought five lines might make it look like a musical staff... #gamedev #indiegame

I’m working on MeloMisterio! We're exhibiting again following HYPER JAPAN Festival, and we're truly grateful to JETRO for all their support! #gamescom #JapaneseGames #MadeinJapanCollection

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I feel different sounds from going and backing. I think it is because without note items. #gamedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

This part is really good at first from I made it. #indiedev #UE5

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

This time, I was more conscious of changing the phrases as I played. #gamedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I’m working on MeloMisterio! I'm not sure if the audio buffer size option will actually be necessary until optimization is finished, but I've implemented it because it's useful for testing. #screenshotsaturday #MeloMisterio

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

It's just alternating between two notes, but I like the little embellishments created by the notes. #indiedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Fixing placements and placing walls used to be pretty tedious, but this should make things a lot easier... #gamedev #indiegame

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I always feel like playing this stage "with platforms that collapse with the rhythm"... #indiedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

My rhythm ended up being kind of similar to the rhythm of the moving platforms. #gamedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I’m working on MeloMisterio! Since the previous exhibition, I've made lots of small tweaks to improve the game's playability and feel! #screenshotsaturday #MeloMisterio

You can counter enemies by attacking just as they attack. #indiedev #UE5

I'd been using the first stage's BGM as a placeholder, but I've finally replaced it with this. #gamedev #indiegame

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

I got so caught up in playing with the motif that I accidentally missed some notes... #indiedev #UE5

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I’m working on MeloMisterio! After making so many stages, I started seeing ways to make the process easier, so I've been working on a tool to help with that. #screenshotsaturday #MeloMisterio

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

The festival runs until July 26, so if you're there, I'd love for you to give it a try! #hyperjapan #HYPERJAPANFestival2026

The mechanic itself hasn't changed, but I've made various tweaks to other parts here and there. #indiedev #UE5

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I think this is one of the parts I tweaked after the previous exhibition... #gamedev #indiegame

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I was thinking of it as a pitch motif, but the rhythm naturally follows the pitch pattern. #indiedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Rhythms written as numbers are hard to read at a glance. It makes me want to write them in musical notation instead... #indiedev #music

Shugo Tanaka @shugotanaka-en.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

I’m working on MeloMisterio! I struggled because each tone has seven octaves' worth of sounds, but I finally managed to finish tweaking them. #screenshotsaturday #MeloMisterio
