After Mai Nurse shipped on 8 platforms and got its first physical PCB validated, it's time to move forward.

Mai Striker is my next project in the Mai series — a military vertical shooter for the Sega Mega Drive — fast, aggressive, in the Toaplan tradition. Think Twin Cobra, Tiger Heli, Fire Shark. Fast, loud, and unapologetically retro.

This first devlog is simple: the project exists, the designs have started, and this page is now open for followers. First up this week: the Mai Striker logo and a first character art of Mai in her pilot gear. Yoko — her wingwoman — will come later.

 If you want to follow the build from the start — this is the moment. Follow the page, or support the project on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/lunoka
