@themanequest.com despite not being a horse girl myself I love reading www.themanequest.com anyways, thank you for the quality content

If you're a content creator/streamer of any kind and you're interested in covering horse games, make sure you're signed up for the TMQ Content Creator Contact List! There's gonna be relevant outreach soon 😇 www.themanequest.com/content-crea...

as a reminder about all of my game jams and steam festivals.... games have been releasing for years before chatgpt became popular. you can still release games without using ai-generated assets. using ai-generated assets is a choice.

In addition, I found this nice guide to remove any existing Copilot bloat from Visual Studio Code: leonidboykov.com/how-to-disab...

As a heads up to new/old artists here it is -incredibly- important that you tag your work here or use specific phrases. Because not only do people check tags, your art has the chance to appear in multiple feeds! Unlearn not using twit hashtags and start following multiple feeds of YOUR choosing!

An anecdotal guideline on how I like to post art on Bluesky! This is what works for me, it might not be 100% solid so use it with a grain of salt 🙏 #arttips #artsky

It's important to support the many indie devs who are staunchly anti-genAI and believe first and foremost in collaborative development. My dev friends don't use genAI, that's for sure.

Just say you’re in a public location and do not want to give it to the call center worker at this time!

“I’ll start this otome soon” translates to: either tonight or in a year

My free 43-page guide to bridging the gap between digital games and physical spaces has been released. Great for devs who want to bring indie games to local markets, shops, or spaces, and for organizers and business space owners to better understand indie devs! priro.itch.io/digital-game...

pov: you’re a 13 years old in the early 2010s with free access to the internet

I'm making a small, mostly light-hearted romance RPG with horror elements (non-commercial) and am looking for a GUI, composer, and audio engineer! If I have any pals who wouldn't mind volunteering, please DM me here, on Discord, or comment here! Will also be looking for VAs later for a few lines!

I am not fucking joking when I say the English-speaking video game world would be nothing without GameFAQs. Everyone and their mom used it (literally, my mom and all her friends). If you played video games in the 2000s you probably knew GameFAQs in the same way most people know, like, Wikipedia

voicemail for my reps, a 10 minute call with PayPal at this number: 1 (888) 221-1161 (US customer support, keep saying "speak to rep" and you don't have to enter in anything) for PayPal I was a confused user (who never gave account info) bc my friend had their account restricted for buying ebooks

@littlesnakestudio.bsky.social I clicked your account because of the name and the cute snake pfp

There's a good tactic to keep them on the phone longer in here: Start by saying you're concerned about a statement that the processor has put out, and then read the entire statement without stopping. This will cause confusion and awkwardness if they just repeat it back to you, which they likely will

#SaveSpeech #CPBC As we near closer to 4 weeks of sustained pressure, I made this infographic to help focus our targets and to suggest a daily goal that is feasible for most people more info and phone numbers here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money find reps www.congress.gov/members/find...

I'll say it again: if you are terminally-online & have a vast reservoir of pent-up angry energy from feeling powerless as the world around you gets worse and worse it is 1000% more productive to direct that energy towards Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, and Paypal than any other target #SaveSpeech

Nothing is more effective as a game walkthrough than an enormous plaintext document from gameFAQS dot com.

🍀 We've passed $13,000 for queer artists! For $60 (or $10+), less than one AAA game, you get hundreds of queer stories in games, TTRPGs, comics, zines, and books. itch.io/b/3062

Hello #otomegame players, what's your preferred platform to find out and talk about about #otoge stuff? Trying to find good fun conversations to lurk. Already mod ani.social/c/otomegames, know of Reddit, could use more places.

it seems like Collective Shout would like more people to know about their efforts to censor adult media, so here's a ICYMI bump for people who haven't read my article about their ties to the religious right and how they make examples of certain works to censor queer media: bsky.app/profile/high...

PC Gamer is also covering steam/itch now www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

'Stand By Me: Otome Isekai RPG' is a newly released demo that invites players into a mesmerizing world of adventure and romance. otome.com/2025/04/30/s...

I find it fun that a social norm of the internet (don't comment on old posts aka "necro-ing", since on old forums sorted by most recent activity it would take an old topic of discussion right to the top again) is reversed on art posted online. Compliment that 9 year old story, author will like it.

Not usually my genre but I've read and enjoyed enough manga about being reincarnated as a villainess to be interested in this game

While @yattatachi.com isn't a content chugging machine and have a limited budget, we are looking for a couple of experienced writers to expand our indie otome/VN coverage (reviews & recs). Our rates: $75 for long form & $25 for short form. Please send me a DM if interested.

I think one thing indie devs overlook when making & marketing game is really simple - do people know what you're actually making? we work so much on games that when we come out for air, it's easy to forget that others don't know what we know. they don't know what we're making if we don't tell them!

Sometimes I feel bad because I need nice graphics to be willing to play a video game, but hey, a video game isn't a person so

Your business partner winds up dead. Was it from overworking, or something more sinister? Our Victorian vampire #otome game is coming to Kickstarter very soon! With 3 love interests and the ability to be a human or vampire, there's plenty of endings to find 💖 www.kickstarter.com/projects/cgw...

you know what's not getting a price increase? cool indie games by people who would appreciate your positive reviews.

If you're a streamer, youtuber, or reviewer and play otome games, we're still taking press sign ups! You'll be given updates on the festival and developers may reach out to give Steam keys. 💜 Sign up: forms.gle/wt8ET2SbxE2Q... ✨ Event info: crystalgameworks.com/otome-games-... #otome #otomegame

As I think about my game making process going into the new year I'm reminded of one of my favourite bits of writing on game development by @farawaytimes.bsky.social How To Make Good Small Games - farawaytimes.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-...
