Hi there, thank you ever so much for leaving such a thoughtful and insightful comment. We were going for a nostalgic vibe so I'm glad you picked up on that :)
I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed it and would have liked more levels! I hope we can - one day - come back to Cove and create an expanded version with more features... alongside some quality-of-life improvements.
Hi Corey, thank you ever so much for playing and taking the time to leave a comment. I’m really happy to hear you found the pixel art beautiful - drawing the whole game in 4 colours was a rewarding challenge!
Thank you for sharing this insightful feedback with us too - I totally agree! We wanted to add an option to jump to the next level after winning the current level but unfortunately ran out of time. If we get the opportunity to build on Cove, I’d be keen solve this awkwardness as a priority.
So happy to hear you enjoyed Yokai Moon and that you didn’t want it to end!
I love the idea of unlocking rooms. Originally, we wanted the player to be able to upgrade the whole fortress but my art skills at the time were too limited! One day, I hope I can bring this feature to a future project.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such thoughtful and insightful feedback - it really helps us understand what improvements players would like to see.
It means the world to us that you enjoyed our little game! Thank you for playing!
Thank you SO much for sharing your playthrough - it was wonderful to watch you play. I really enjoyed your narration too - it helps us learn what went well and how we can improve!
You’re right, you absolutely should be able to play Day 1-45 on other save slots too. Thank you for telling us about this - we shall investigate the issue. Sorry you’ve encountered this issue!
Hi there - it'll keep showing the credits because you have reached the end of the demo! Day 45 is the last day! We hope to add more days with future updates. Thank you so much for playing until the end - so glad to hear you loved the game :)
“Midnight stargazers can catch a glimpse of a rabbit who dwells on the silver surface of the moon. The rabbit spends her nights pounding rice into cakes for the immortal beings that preside over the earth. The rabbit brings harmony to the realms of humans and Yokai, the spirits who walk the fine line between balance and chaos. Under the rabbit’s watchful eye, humans have been spared from the Yokai’s mischief. One day, the unthinkable happens – the rabbit has gone missing! In her absence, a curse falls from the heavens and the most volatile Yokai are thrown into discord, wreaking havoc upon the human realm. There is one place on earth that still has hope: a small fortress that stands on the outskirts of a remote village. It is home to the elderly but wise Okina, who alone has the knowledge to return the rabbit to the moon and lift the curse. Okina cannot do this alone. His quest to restore the balance between worlds will require strength, magic, and courage. Okina possesses only the latter. The curse intensifies with every full moon, and Okina fears that not even the strongest Yokai will be safe from its corruption. The Jade Rabbit must be found before the world is plunged into irreversible chaos…”
Thank you for playing! Super cute is what we were aiming for so thank you so much for the compliments.
Best of luck finding some experience! May we recommend checking out this monthly newsletter for entry-level writers? It’s put together by Samantha, the incredible Narrative Designer who wrote all of the beautiful words for Yokai Moon.
We’re so touched you’ve been following the development - thank you so much! The project is still being worked on - we’re approaching being able to share something playable very soon. Stay tuned!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, apologies for being absent from Itch and only just replying now. Have you tried the version with the alternative font?
Thank you for saying it's one of your favourite concepts! That means a lot to me!
I'm afraid they are not from Age of Empires - they're Russian phrases downloaded from a language pronunciation website. However, the idea of them speaking when you select them or give them instructions is inspired by AoE so I can definitely see why you thought they could be the same sound effects!
As for your pronunciations, I'd actually say you were fairly accurate! :)
Thank you for playing and for sharing your lets play with me! I can see that you really missed Mikhail after kicking him out (although unintentionally)! I'm fond of Mikhail too, his love for Pushkin is an inspiration to us all ;)
Glad you enjoyed playing Moonlight Fortress! Thank you for your feedback!
I think I have an idea about what could have happened... I added a shortcut to unlock Pushkin to make it easier for my lecturer to see all the game's content without having to play for a long time. If you press "P", it will spawn Pushkin. It might be possible that you unintentionally pressed "P" so this is why he randomly turned up.
