An image of the cover of the Pink Floyd Album "Atom Heart Mother". The Cover is of a nondescript cow in a nondescript field. In this case, however, the head of an LBM from Mushroom Musume has been superimposed on the cow's head. This is fitting, in a way that only the cosmos can discern.

Playing around with tank mechanics! How would YOU manage your menagerie of mushy maidens? 🍄

This week we've been working on a new section of the new game. There's a whole 3d world out there!... or one witch's room, at least 🔮

Everyone point at Stinky for bringing the fly - and she doesn't even have enough to share with the rest of the class 😔

Mushroom daughters aren't strangers to having pets every now and then, though sometimes they can be a bit of a pest

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

A first-pass at a little mushroom daughter charging her own kamehameha wave You can practically hear her shouting: "Muhhhh..." "Shrooooom..." "Muuu..." "Suuu..." "MEEEEEEE!!!"

Animation in Godot is a new and exciting foray for us! It might *trip* us up at first, but the sky's the limit🍄

A screenshot of the game development program Godot. In the center is the model of a mushroom daughter in the middle of her 'trip' animation.

Note-taking is serious business during dev meetings

The image is of a hand-drawn doodle. That doodle is of a duck. The duck is smoking a stick of unknown substance, whilst drinking from a bottle - also of unknown substance. A boombox sits next to the duck. It's playing shoegaze. The duck is also dressed in a hat and jacket. Be like this duck. It's a good duck. (art by @wieldadventure)

Some people's dampness stat really defines them

Strange creature in the woods with a jar of black jelly: "Owah-ahh yes, come give me your mush-goo for my insidiously poisonous concoction~ UwU" Me, just trying to take a damn walk without stumbling across some magical fuckery:

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.

We hope everybody had a wonderful Lunar New Year! 🎉 Wishing you all happiness and prosperity, and we hope to see you all still around this time next year ❤️

A screenshot from the game Mushroom Musume. It depicts the full moon resting in the sky. It says: "As the words fade back into the aether, you rub your eyes. Despite the moon's vibrant presence, a lingering gold slowly blurs out of your vision."

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🩷

An image from the password screen of Mushroom Musume, shortly after typing in the password: "iloveyou"

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

The"Love and Conquest" update for Mushroom Musume is a bleeding heart's wish come true❤️🏹 Will you help a couple of old friends rekindle their spark? Or will you deign to find your own paramour in the form of - wait, what are you doing DON'T KISS THAT IT'S POIS- Coming Saturday, Feb. 14th

A picture from the game Mushroom Musume's new "Love and Conquest" update. It's a line of dialog taken out of context. It reads: "Eventually, you get tired of being the hippenest, hoppenest dancer, and return to the center of the gala where the two of you - well, mainly YOU - can take a breather."

Another image from the update, taken again out of context. It reads: ""It's the 'Dumpy-Jo's Initiative' as I've come to call it" Jo stands upright, seemingly proud."

In our next project, mushroom girls will feel a little more like petite pets than darling daughters... it's much easier to keep them all in a tank this way! 🔮 #ScreenshotSaturday

Mortally Moonstruck Games@mortalmoongames· Dec 25

We hope that all our fungal fans out there are having a warm and happy WINTER! ☃️ 🍄 Also, we just posted 25 free community copies of Mushroom Musume on itch for anyone who may have their day improved by such a thing...! mortallymoonstruckgames.itch.io/mushroom-mus...

Pixelated snow particles fall over a screenshot of Mushroom Musume in wintery colors, the caption reads 'With her so close it feels oddly... warm.'

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday, have a peak at some fresh UI from our new project 🔮

Several mushroom girls stand in an environment with a variety of items around them, in the corner a cute, cartoony, witch head narrates: 'Shroomie Tool: I have no idea what it does,but they sure do love using it.'

"WTF is an enum" -- Zao

Dev struggles: Learning a new engine

A quick doodle of Zao and Autumn sitting on a couch hard at work. Zao is trying to figure out what the hell any of the windows do, let alone the code itself.

An arrow points to Zao saying: "Has the heart of an 808 drum, but the brain of an egg timer"

Another arrow points to Autumn, saying: "Really good at making computers think good" (and this is quite true, she is)

Zao, frustrated, exclaims: "This is impossible, I can't do this!"

Autumn replies: "Sure you can! Just put on a brave face!"

Zao's face is now "brave"

Autumn off-screen exclaims: "Yeah! That's Perfect!"

Zao's face hurts

Some mushrooms are so smooth and slimy they appear to be made of jelly. Edibility, however, may vary.
