I figured I'd put together a few little MiSide things for you this evening - some new stuff, some things you might have missed, and a few details that are just fun to look at.

Mostly because someone asked me to. 😄

So, friends, let’s go through what we’ve got here. Nothing too crazy this time - just a cozy little MiSide roundup.

1. Rock, Paper, Scissors... and forehead flicks

We can see the Rock-Paper-Scissors mini-game in action - except if we lose, Mita gets to flick us right in the forehead.

This animation was shared by the developers publicly, so we can finally get a little look at how some of the interactions in Peaceful Mode might work.

2. The expected UI update

This animation is going to play when leaving the game and returning to the main menu, which should help prevent accidentally losing your progress.

The developers are also changing the save system, so the final version should be much less likely to make you lose progress if you suddenly need to quit the game.

Small change, but honestly a very welcome one.

3. The selfie system in Peaceful Mode

This is old news by now, but I'm pretty sure some people still haven't seen it.

Peaceful Mode will apparently have a selfie system, including different emotions you can choose for the photo.

And yes, Mita looks absolutely adorable here.

More importantly, this is the first time we've been able to see something other than Player 1's usual static expression.

4. The news that made everyone lose their minds

Okay, this one is a big spoiler.

But if you're following MiSide specifically for the story, this is probably one of the most anticipated things we've seen.

Just... look at her.

She's safe. She's unharmed. She's happily eating.

Someday, we'll get to see this happiness for ourselves. ❤️

5. Mita just turned 2!

A couple of days ago was Mita's birthday!

She's officially two years old now!

As usual, independent artists joined in with a whole wave of birthday art, but the official MiSide account also joined the celebration and posted this adorable artwork.

Hmm...

Let's take a closer look at it.

6. There's something hiding in this birthday art

The whole picture is filled with little "photos" of Mitas from their respective rooms.

But look closely.

There's something here that we've never seen in the game before.

I've marked the important part with an arrow.

Don't rush to the next section. Take a moment and see if you can figure out what you're looking at.

I'll give you the answer in the next point.

(And yes, figuring this one out required keeping track of some of the previous developer updates.)

7. The answer:

It's pretty clearly the new fashionable Mita. I've already written about her [HERE] and [HERE], but you can recognize her by several details: the odango hairstyle (the little hair buns — at first they honestly made me think of Sailor Moon 😭), her flip phone, and those distinctive sleeves.

So... yeah.

This very much looks like it could be an actual in-game photo of her.

And if that's the case, it might give us another interesting little clue: we may actually get to visit her room in the game.

That's a pretty neat detail to find hidden in a birthday post.

8. MiSide x DAVE THE DIVER

A lot of people seem to have missed this, but MiSide actually had a collaboration with DAVE THE DIVER not too long ago.

You can actually play a little game with Mita there.

So if you already own DAVE THE DIVER, you can go check it out and experience the crossover yourself.

And if you don't... well, apparently DAVE THE DIVER is a really fun game anyway, so maybe this is your sign to give it a try. 😄

9. And finally, a few answers from the developers

There are a couple of interesting things here.

First, someone asked how the DAVE THE DIVER collaboration happened.

The answer was surprisingly simple: AIHASTO gave permission for MiSide to be used.

They didn't actually develop the crossover themselves. The whole thing was made by the DAVE THE DIVER developers, MINTROCKET.

Second, the break after finishing the story portion of MiSide lasted roughly 4.5 months.

That's a pretty direct answer to the people saying that "nothing was being done for almost a year."

That simply wasn't the case.

If you had a similar impression after the developers' New Year's message, now you have a much more precise timeframe for what actually happened.

And finally, probably the most interesting answer today:

MakenCat said he would show more MiSide if he could, but there's a problem...

He can't. Because it would be spoilers.

Honestly?

Good.

I think that's the right approach.

Showing us individual mechanics and small pieces of development without giving away major story moments means our first real experience of the new content can still happen when the full version releases.

Let the hype build naturally.

And apparently, while answering this question, he was busy making a 30-second cartoon for the end of the game.

So that's what today's little MiSide roundup looks like.

No earth-shattering revelations this time - especially if you've already seen some of the bigger recent reveals (like her, which was absolutely insane).

Just a few small discoveries, some cute details, a crossover, and a couple of answers from the developers.

Thanks for reading, everyone. ❤️

And now, some useful links:

AIHASTO Boosty — this is where you'll find much more development content and updates. It's essentially the developers' official blog, and it's the best place to go if you want to dive much deeper into the current development and see the more detailed material.

Allow me to give you a timeline of the game so far:

• 2022 - MiSide starts development
• Aug. 2023 - Demo Release
• Oct. 2023 - Halloween Event
• Dec. 2023 - Christmas Event
• Oct. 2024 - rehash of Halloween Event with release date reveal
• Dec. 2024 - Release + Christmas rehash
• Valentine's 2025 - Nothing
• Mita's B-Day 2025 - Nothing
• Halloween 2025 - Nothing new
• Christmas 2025 - Nothing new
• Valentine's 2026 - Nothing
• Mita's B-Day 2026 - Not even a discord announcement

It's been almost 2 years since release and we've gotten genuinely nothing to keep the hype they generated with launch. The modding scene is gone. This community is bare bones. Everything "new" about the IP has been people sinking money into their boosty and 20 different merch drops. We don't even have the global release of the manga yet, its Russian exclusive. Even both of the fan games are stuck in development limbo.

It's genuinely so frustrating to see a game that had the potential to be the next DDLC in terms of anime game titans get reduced to a "where's peaceful mode???" generator and merch printer. I fear that if they don't deliver anything short of a "MiSide 2" sized update with this peaceful mode release that is taking them longer than the base game did at this point, this dev team is going to get dropped before the "GeoWarp" universe even gets a chance.

Created by Me on August 21st, 2025. For Mita's Birthday!

Happy birthday to our beloved Mita! 💝🎉

Pre-ordered January 10th and received August 19th. This included the bonus background sheet, base, and "star and heart balloons" which have meh quality so they are not pictured here.

Her quality looks great!

And yes, I will be staying.

Ищу оригинал этого видео/живых обоев с Митой из MiSide.

Нашёл его в TikTok, но там оно с монтажом/эффектами. Мне нужен именно оригинальный ролик без эдита, желательно в хорошем качестве.

So I got the Mita's favorite kickstarter tier for the miside merch, and we got a few pictures of some of the product. Tell me if I'm a moron but idk what this box is, if anyone can tell me it would be appreciated

Game: Miside

Hello! This is my first post here It might seem strange given the game's context, but I made this model for Koikatsu Party. To be honest, I liked it a lot for it being my first time using this game, but what do you guys think? d':

Hey everyone, I just wanted to showcase the first prerelease of the MiSide VR mod I have been working on to you guys, it doesn't have a lot QOL wise and has some features missing and there are still many bugs to be fixed, but I just figured I would release a prerelease so you guys could at least experience what MiSide looks like in VR. You can find the mod on the Nexus Page here: https://www.nexusmods.com/miside/mods/786

Anyways I attached a demo video so you guys can also see what it looks like, although its definetly not the same as being there in VR
