Made another update to the text shader pack. Now you can call the shaders by their own tags, and I made templates for your own tags so you can easily customize each of the shaders without bloating your scripts. makevisualnovels.itch.io/text-pack

Seen rumblings from crafting friends about this for a while. Its prob good to stock up on fabric, items, etc, as they’ll prob be hard to attain for a while. Especially since that really only leaves Hobby Lobby & Michaels left. Gotta love venture capitalism shuttering everything that we could need.

Can people who like toxic yaoi play Gladston Valley :( people keep giving it low reviews and I think it's because it's too toxic like sorry the boys aren't kissing yet

Potion Pleasing is close to having 50 good ratings! If you enjoyed the demo, please consider helping me with one! It greatly increases the game's visibility and lets me know you had a good experience! 🥰

Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

when you post your game on itch.io there is a limit of 10 tags and you want to use them all. you want to have screenshots. at least spend 3 minutes changing your theme colours. trust me this matters so much. if you want people to see your thing you gotta wrap it up in a pretty box with labels on it

We are incredibly excited to announce that the #Amare tag has surpassed 500 games on Itch! 🎉 It’s amazing to see the Amare genre tag grow, and we couldn’t have done it without each of you. Check them out here: itch.io/games/tag-am... #AmareGame #Otome #VisualNovel #InteractiveFiction

Hi! To those who may not know I’m Joy! 💖 I’m a polyamorous/bisexual writer and game dev! I love making romance games with diverse genres and cast of characters! I write NSFW/Otome/RPGs/BL Just to name a few ✨👇 meant-to-bee-studios.itch.io

Milo-coded characters! Took me a while to come up with these lol. Kind of an eclectic mix, but the through line here is that they are all huge dorks.

There is always ways to help! 🐻☎️ Call your local representative today and tomorrow and the next day, too!

My game, A Marble's Muse, is in desperate need of reviews! While it has five reviews in total, Steam is only counting two of them because the others were redeemed via a key. If you have the game, please leave a review so it can reach more players! ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/1427780/...

I have a new game out for the Trans Joy Jam! In a mini-sequel to #LoreDistanceRelationship (a Neopets tribute game), Bea visits Kayla's dorm. As the two try a new feature on Ruffians, Bea gets the opportunity to come out. Link to play in the replies! ⬇️🐶 #neopets #visualnovel
