The kitsunes got a new look! Running through the ancient Japanese mythology in #KitsuneTails. Exploring relationships and platforming like a boss! #PlatformerFever #JapaneseMythology

A kitsune character in a red outfit runs through a platformer landscape, past stone walls and under a bridge. The environment suggests ancient Japanese mythology with lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The perspective is third-person over-the-shoulder view.

#PennedPossibilities 667. At the moment, what is your MC’s highest priority?

As where we are published, Finding the Kudan's Mate. A mythical figure said to be the only creature that can nullify a prophecy by the Kudan, the sole loophole in the saying "The Kudan never lies."

In the overall picture, it is to banish or other nutrilize Mikawa-san, a powerful onryo or vengeful ghost.

Don’t miss out on grabbing some cashback on souls from Izanami while the deal’s still on! 💸🖤

Japanese mythology’s got creation gods Izanami & Izanagi. She swore to take 1000 souls a day, but he said he’d bring 1500 babies to life. In our game, we’re all about balance—life & death gotta stay even. But something’s gonna mess it up… Who do you think?

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #selfdevour #metroidvania #art #JapaneseCulture #actionadventure #darkfantasy #Japanesemythology #Rugamedev

comic about the goddess of death Izanami and the god of life Izanagi. In our game they have an agreement that there should be a balance between the dead and the living. The comic is like this: - Izadami! You said you’d take 1000 souls for every 1000 born! (the scales are balanced in the background) - And I am taking… personally - Then what’s this? (the scales are turned towards her, people are climbing on them)

When’s the last time you checked those dusty rags shoved in the corner? If it’s been a while, watch out — Ittan-momen might be lurking! 🪭

In Japanese folklore, forgotten stuff can turn into yokai-tsukumogami — basically, things that come to life. Ittan-momen — a sneaky flying cloth that loves ambushing distracted travelers and wrapping around their necks. In our game, it’s just as fast and tricky! 😈

Our new animator Konstantin finished making a rough draft for one of the enemies' movements. It looks awesome!

For Love of a Konbini Idol
I Searched for the Kudan
Chapter 51 Released
House of Longing (憧れの家)
By Nara Moore
Art Mai-sensei

Image: Titles: For Love of a Konbini Idol, I searched for the Kudan. By Nara Moore Image: (Moth Mountain by Mai-sensei) The four main characters stand looking at Shishi. Left to right: Tomo with messy blue hair and a red jacket is behind Kan-chan. Kan-chan with pink twin-tails and a puffy pink coat is behind Shishi. Shishi has light blue hair worn loosely. She is in front, holding a piece of paper. Red-haired Ume is smoking a cigarette to Shishi’s right. Ume is wearing an open military jacket. Behind them are rocks, four evergreens, and a moth-like mountain.

Quote: “House, we’ll have a feast tonight. You can do a full banquet,” I announced.

Tomo looked puzzled at my announcement, but Kan-chan ignored it and finally spoke. “Forget it; we need to leave.”

“Yeah, we’ve got to get you out of here before the house gets its hooks into us,” Tomo added.

“I don’t know what you’re so worked up about,” I said. “The house takes good care of us. It even caters to our needs. There are two more bedrooms for you and Kan-chan. And you should see the bath…”

A kappa is a Japanese mythological water sprite or, literally, "river child" (河童). One of the more popularly known yōkai (Japanese mythological creature) in Japan, kappa are generally green or yellow, have a tortoise-like shell on their backs, a tonsured head, and a fishy smell. #History #Kappa #JapaneseMythology #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/1-23933-en/
