After an exhausting, traumatizing week from hell, I was finally able to get into my bandcamp and... Well, I don't have the words - I can barely compose my thoughts these days - but thank you all, thank you so much. Every bit helps. Hug your loved ones for ol' Zaozy, tonight 🤍

If you want to directly support them after losing everything, please consider buying the Mushroom Musume OST on Bandcamp! Soundtrack proceeds go directly to Zao and would be greatly appreciated. (It's Bandcamp Friday right now too!) (3/3) zaozoruzhna.bandcamp.com/album/mushro...

Mushroom Musume was one of my favorite video games I played in 2025, and a huge part of that was the soundtrack, which was subtle, emotional and often eerie. The composer of that soundtrack needs a hand recovering after a house fire. I encourage you to give Zao what you can.

Thank you to everyone for your support and well wishes 🍄💚 Zao's sister has setup a GoFundMe if you'd prefer to contribute that way! (Also, this all ruined Zao's surprise that they had adopted a new kitten this month 🐱 thankfully the kid's are alright)

My little brother is the composer mentioned in this thread! He has been working on the queer indie game Mushroom Musume, which is available to play on steam! He lost his whole music production set up in the fire, but thanks to ppls support, is already rebuilding that! bsky.app/profile/mort...

We've been busy working on our next project, but this week disaster struck: our composer @zaozoruzhna.bsky.social and his partner lost their home, and everything in it, to a fire... (1/3)

Feeling nostalgic for some of the more "creative" BGs made during MM's development. This shot of "earthrise" as seen from the surface of the moon consists a black sheet, a magic eraser, a globe, and a vinyl record With some post-processing, we were able to get a convincingly off-world setting

A top down view of a set-up for a Mushroom Musume background in the living room of some poor schmuck's house. Half a magic eraser sits atop an apple box, in front of a vinyl record (Visions and Afterthoughts by Red Vox) leaning against a globe.A front-facing view of the set-up with the camera settled right behind the magic eraser.A post-processed version of the previous image. Made to evoke the feeling of being on the moon's surface, looking at the earth

Mushroom Musume Bugfix Patch v.1.3.2: - Fixed a bug where player couldn't leave caravan event🚗 - Fixed bugs in desert that caused crashes🏜️ - Changed how new cafe events spawn; now spawns at least every other playthru☕️ - Added uses for the 'Ichor Jar' & 'pair of shoes'🫙👢 Live now on steam & Itch♥️

A lot of the more fantastical backgrounds in Mushroom Musume had to be crafted by hand - such as the exterior shot of the Lunar Palace! Here we have: 🚗 - A Lincoln Grill 🧙‍♀️ - Some Wizard's Beard 🪸 - Some quartz and coral 🤡 - A bike horn And a PS3 with the MGS collection in it (among much more!)

A shot of the props used to make the Lunar Palace Exterior background in Mushroom Musume. It is by all accounts, a cobbled together mess.A pulled-back shot of the setup, showing a piece of paper and a magic eraser up on a chair (with a lamp behind it for lighting) that was used as the ground of the moon for the final shot.A full frontal view of the pre-processed Lunar Palace exterior, with the camera behind the magic eraser from the previous shot.The final post-processed Lunar Palace exterior as it is seen in game.

Valentine's Day may have come and went, but the weather's still perfect for snuggles and sweets 🍬 Have you told your favorite password screen "iloveyou" yet? If not, you may be in for a treat. And remember, there's no danger in saying "iloveyou" as many times as you mean it🩷

The text on screen reads: "Do you like desserts? Perhaps I can interest you in a special treat."
