RyuuMaru Network

Like a never-ending circle, we strive to always keep going.

One universe, many doors.

We make games, cartoons, music and a monthly gaming news show, and they are all the same place. Somebody might find us through a stream, a plushie, a record, a business card or a friend, and whichever door they come through, they should be walking into the same world. Come in anywhere.

    About us

    Written in 2018 and not changed since, because it was already right.

What's on, and what's coming

Not everything, and not every day. A quiet week is not a broken week.

RyuuMaru Monthly
A gaming news show hosted by a real person who read all of it. Recorded, held for rework, coming soon.
The Adventures of Nova
A cat appears somewhere at random, briefly, is confused, and leaves. In production.
279.3 Radio
Just past the end of the longwave dial. It never starts itself, and there is always a way to turn it off.

The other end of the signal

Somatic Heaven

Lyra broadcasts from a loft above a night market in a city called Aria. Her stream and ours are the same stream, somewhere in the signal path the links cross, and the same show reaches both worlds at once. Nobody has ever fully explained it.

Somatic Heaven is the other end of that signal. It's a social site, a place to have a page, keep a card, and find people, and underneath it, when you want it, there's the whole city.

  • No scores, anywhereNothing is ranked. Likes never sort. There are no follower counts to lose to.
  • The end is visible“That's everything, 14 posts since Tuesday.” No infinite scroll, no tube in the bottom of the bowl.
  • Nobody can DM youNot a setting you switch on. There is structurally no private message anywhere in it.
  • Free, and we mean itNo subscription, no premium tier, no ads, no card number. Not once, not ever.

The cast

Every one of them is named after a star. Some of it was deliberate, the twins most of all, and the rest accumulated until it stopped looking like an accident.

  • LyraHost of the network. Lives above a night market and plays records at three in the morning.
  • OrionThe first one. A cat walking toward the lion he already knows he is.
  • LeoDeciding between what his father wants and what he actually loves.
  • KenNamed for their grandfather, a great merchant. Spends their time convincing Leo he can.
  • Pollie & CassieTwins, twenty minutes apart, solving crimes nobody reported.

Every place we actually live. If a link isn't here, it isn't ours, and we will never send you a private message. Not once, not ever.

That's all of them, twenty. Webtoon joins the list when our first series publishes, because that is the moment the platform issues a URL.
