making visual novels is a great hobby, but what do you do when you want to turn it into something more? this month's article goes over some of the differences between free & commercial visual novel development! ✨ read it here: arimiadev.com/free-vs-comm...

CASTING CALL (unpaid 🙏) "Yet Another Killing Game" is ramping up on promotional content, and needs voice actors to show our characters' charms to more people! If you're a budding VA, why not help our budding game? Application form link in replies! #castingcall #voiceactor #voiceacting #vndev

Whenever I critique a game, I try my best to maintain an objective view that takes into account the developer's experience and other context clues I can gather about the game's development. I DO NOT try to impose my own ideals onto the game, cos I recognize that it's a form of art in itself.

he may be dumb but thats ok

🧵 Lets take a look at some upcoming jams over the next few weeks to kick of 2025! itch.io/blog/869199/...

A Marble's Muse is discounted for a couple more days! You should buy it, or else the marble mafia is gonna come for you.🔪

And if you are someone that keeps using AI to find companionship with characters voiced by your favorite VA's: Stop it. It's gross, parasocial, and completely degrades your favorite voice talents into being products instead of people. Put the AI away and support the actor.

The moment I learn to draw and start making unhinged art, it's so over.

"it's good... for an rpg maker game" "the story is actually interesting... unlike other visual novels" please throw away your fear of liking something. it's okay to like a medium unironically. it will make you happier as a person when you stop belittling the things you like 💜

Make bad games. Write terrible stories. Create awful art. What's more important is that you made these things, and you can learn from these experiences. You don't have to be perfect the first time.

Genuinely one of my favourite games of last year. If you love subtle yuri, a good supernatural mystery, and killing game premises - definitely support their development!

Genuinely, we need more asexual representation in visual novels. It's always so heartwarming to read those stories.

The length of a visual novel is NOT impressive when it feels like the author is just padding scenes the way a college student pads their essay. Length =/= Content. Please stop.

Probably the riskiest playthrough I've done so far, but I'm really glad to have been able to cover one of my all-time favourite visual novels! youtu.be/EH0yquG4vVk

Anyway uninstall honey right now they are stealing money www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4y...

I did say you weren't ready for the title 💀 But genuinely, #aDateWithDeath - Beyond The Bet was an excellent send off to one of my favourite visual novels of last year. If you're an #otome fan who loves playful banter, definitely give this one a play! youtu.be/IdUcOIAdegg

No, you're not ready for the title that goes along with this thumbnail. No, I'm not letting the soul babies go. #adatewithdeath #otome You can purchase the DLC here - store.steampowered.com/app/2799720/...

Still waiting for the day I get to play a queer VN with a harem end. We all know at least one person who wants to start a commune. Where are the gay fictional communes at?

Sometimes, my videos don't do well, and it's fine. I usually enjoy what I play, and even if I don't - it becomes something to discuss. I can only hope one day, I'll be able to have people talk about the stories I cover.

I'm convinced videogames are exponentially better with more geese. No, I won't listen to reason.
