I'm Sarumaru of SaruPro, a small indie dev studio for retro consoles! Middle-aged Artist, Retro Gamer Love 90s Japanese #videogames / #anime , #PCEngine & #Ys. Creator of FX Unit Yuki, The Nyanja! & Miko Hearts.
It's been a year since this aired when Panda and I were interviewed and I got to talk about our first game. Hope it happens again once we release Nyanja! :3
1/3 Last night I was on the Japanese TV show called "Why did YOU go to Japan/YOUは何しに日本へ" we chatted about how in that trip we brought some copies of our game to Retro Game Camp in Aliba, we first delivered many copies to their LA store but Game Tanteidan in Osaka was the 1st store to sell our game❤️
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
I made this image for an acrylic charm sometime ago but I kinda sort wish a Bomberman cereal was a real thing 😅
Bomber Puffs Cereal. Would you eat? #cereal #breakfast #retrogames #bomberman
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
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

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.
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
