Hi! I'm now working on controller support for the Steam version of Lunar Mystery 2103!

I don't know when it'll be ready, but it's coming along now. The buttons will be configurable to suit, and can be used in conjunction with keyboard!

I'm feeling pretty confident about the Steam release of Lunar Mystery 2103. I've been doing some testing, and now I've submitted it to Valve for a review!

Providing everything is okay, this will be an option for backers on the Kickstarter!

I got the test box for Lunar Mystery 2103 back today and I think it looks great. There are a few things I'm going to tweak now I've seen it physically, but overall very pleased!

Dev update: I have now begun putting the Kickstarter details together! I'm looking to improve on my previous two campaigns so I'm doing some extra research before putting a "Coming Soon" page up, but it's beginning!
October 6, 2025 at 4:24 PM
DEV UPDATE:
So Chapter IV is fairly buggy compared to the previous parts in the game, but I am working my way to getting through it bug-free.

I'm also doing a game-wide boss review; some were too easy, and some too hard.

Otherwise, it's going well!

Progress Report:

The Prologue to Chapter III are now largely bug free. Chapters IV to the Epilogue are complete, but need the same level of testing as I've given to the first half of the game.

I reckon a November Kickstarter is possible!

So I'm month two into solid bug fixing now as the game's content is finished.

Playing the same sections again and again is really making me appreciate how far the game has come since I started out making it, and how much more advanced it is compared to the The Train and Part 2!

Good news! I've finished the entire game's core content as a rough copy!

This now means the game is playable end-to-end, but is buggy and is missing the optional content I want to add in, so it's onto those next!
