So it's been a long time again since a development update. Today I have a small amount of new info to post.


Recently I mana...

Vivid Dead is getting closer to completion, but it will still be a little while longer. Sorry for the wait.
Vivid Deadは完成に近づいている、もう少し時間がかかります。ごめんなさい。
2025-10-31 04:17:09 +0000 UTC View PostI drew some more art for Skye this time, as Kotone already has a few scenes like this.
On a side note her animations are very close to complete at this point, though I can't showcase how she fits into the story just yet.
I know many people eager for more news but there's really not much I can say right now as I jus...
and happy new year. That's all I have for 2024, look forward to more Vivid Dead in the future.
2024-12-25 10:08:25 +0000 UTC View PostThis month and last I got several enemies completed. Recently I've been mostly just making enemies everyday since most of the level design is done.

I wanted to draw a character that hasn't been seen in a while this time. No this is not for an upcoming Moon Rhapsody update.

Eith continues her journey to be the world's greatest hero.
2024-05-03 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI was going to post an update before February but I had a lot to deal with last few weeks, including not having electricity for a couple days, but everything is back in order now. I manged to complete one stage in January and mostly finished planning the one remaining though there are a couple old stages I think need some hea...
2024-02-04 05:17:12 +0000 UTC View PostSo 2024 is just around the corner, there's still a lot of things I want to finish before I show more gameplay. I feel like December was mostly a successful month of progress, 2 more stages of the 4 I had left are 90% complete minus enemies and some missing background elements. Although some of the earlier ones now I feel like...

Another month already over, I know many want to know what's happening, and whether another demo is coming. Well good news is I feel like I made a lot of progress this month, more than I usually get done at least. I've add...
2023-12-01 04:10:19 +0000 UTC View PostOne year since I revealed the trailer and title for Vivid Dead, time feels like it flies extremely fast these days. Once again I'm moving around so it will be a few days to a week before I can get settled and focus again on the game, but more information should be posted soon.
2023-10-29 10:27:47 +0000 UTC View PostI have another stage that is now mostly finished but needs more enemies and polish to the visuals. The snowy stage I posted above is still around half way done and is probably the second or third largest one I will make. Hopefully I can have the rest of the parts to it finished within the week. I'm still however at 4 stages l...
2023-09-25 10:34:34 +0000 UTC View PostI've been moving around a lot lately and am no longer living where I have been the last 5 years, or even permanently settled where I am now, so it's been a little harder for me to focus on development than usual. But I've gotten back to a more steady pace for now at least.

Ninja for hire, Risa Akiyama appears as a strong enemy in Vivid Dead, but often times she takes the role as your opponent in minigames scattered throughout the stages. She doesn't harbor any ill will towards Kotone, but she enjoys fighting, and eating, and money...especially money.
I also included artwork below I want t...
2023-07-01 04:00:10 +0000 UTC View Postv0.2.1 Update:
I've had a bit of rough time the last few weeks getting everything done that I wanted. While I've been trying to avoid it as much as possible, I had to go back and rebuild some areas a in order to fit with changes made to the game's flow, and ultimately decided to remove some stages that I was planning so that I c...
2023-04-17 05:40:52 +0000 UTC View PostThere hasn't been a proper devlog in a while so I think this time I'll give a little more information on what's been developed so far.

I already shown some changes to Kotone's moveset. You can now aim paint manually by using t...
2023-03-13 19:46:02 +0000 UTC View Postv0.1.3 Update:
Not as many changes to this version but a few important issues that needed fixing have been addressed.
Bug fixes:
-Not able to select X Input controller in control settings.
-Missing ceiling collision in 1-1.
-Pressing X key on the title screen causing an error.<...
2022-12-24 18:08:34 +0000 UTC View PostSince all the basic mechanics are done I'm likely going to spend the next few months just doing level design. How many levels it'll have I won't say, the game will probably not take very long to beat, but I'm aiming to make it open ended enough that the player has reasons to revisit areas multiple times.

So I'm aware I haven't said a word about Moon Rhapsody in a very long time now, which I'm sure many people who are reading this would come here to see but I spent the last few months mostly working on Nocturne beca...
2022-09-05 06:22:37 +0000 UTC View PostI decided to remove the design an item/tag reward from the adventurer tier as no one ever messaged me directly with any requests since I created the page. So in it's place, people on this tier now have the option to request a custom pixel art or sprite image of 128x128 max size, animated potentially but don't expect the smoot...
