AUTHORS! ASSEMBLE!

if you're a streamer, YouTuber, reviewer, etc. and want to cover romance visual novels, I'm looking for people to collaborate with for my next festival! reviewers will be contacted by developers in our visual novel festival about playing demos & full games. sign up here: forms.gle/Ebv2QWtnPavM...

I know a lot of northerners look down on us but there's a lot of minorities that live in the south, and specifically, there's a lot of *people* that live in the south. we're not some conglomerate of bigotry or idiocy, we're a diverse & large area of people. so please don't say we deserve no internet

I think there's a very delicate line between "being disappointed at Itch for not being prepared to handle shit they should have been better-prepared for" and "relentlessly yelling in public at the only games storefront that doesn't completely suck shit to make sure we never get a second one"

⚠️ SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING INTERNSHIP ⚠️ We're looking for a social media marketing intern to join the team! (Remote, contract 3 months) Pls email your CV to elsethgames(at)gmail(dot)com (don't DM me) Shares appreciated 🥰 #hiring #internship #job #recruiting #recruitment #gamedev #vndev #indiegames

Itch.io isn't anti-LGBT. They've been continuously supporting my community, which is hugely LGBT creatives, in nearly every event we run through the site, including Trans Joy Jam, which made them exactly 0 dollars and they promoted for us. They suck at managing crisis, but they're not anti-LGBT.

saw someone refer to "itch's social-media team" and i guess people are still not grasping the size of organization here i am 90% sure the itch twitter/bluesky are run by the CEO, who is also the guy who wrote the website and continues to write the website

The fact that itchio is looking into alternate payment options and talking about all this like an ongoing situation instead of being like "these are the new rules and always will be, fuck off" says a lot about how much they care about this. I know you want to yell at them but they're working hard

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

So tired of hearing r18 works & games being shadowbanned/removed. Like if it’s tagged appropriately what is the issue? I also understand it’s an age concern thing but like the internet are not your children’s babysitters. I’m just really saddened & tired by this…

SAY 👏IT 👏 LOUDER 👏 This isn't drama This isn't just a 'typical day' in the world of content creation and vtubing. No it's more than that An agency stole half a million dollars meant for charity Everyone should not be silent on this. Everyone should be loud!

Ironmouse has left VShojo. She claims the agency owes her a significant amount of funds, as well as over $500,000 to the Immune Deficiency Foundation. See her full video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwLb...

Spooktober VN Jam is coming and I'm pleased to say we've hit all base and extra funding goals! Spooktober Visual Novel Jam is our biggest competition of the year. Running Sept 1st to Oct 1st, developers make Halloween themed visual novels and compete for cash prizes! itch.io/jam/spooktob...

Someone asked me, "Stella, why do you guys run so many jams?" Jams are opportunities and occasions to do something. The motivation is there already for a lot of people, but the direction isn't. Jams provide direction, and then developers create opportunities for others in their effort to submit

My #O2A2 entry: [Blood Alchemy] is done! It’s based on a long time idea I had but never got to fleshing out. It’s still has a long way to go but…here’s a sneak peek! Hehe I’m happy with how the UI turned out tho!!! #visualnovel #vndev #indiedev Play here 🩸 otojang.itch.io/blood-alchem...

🦸‍♂️ Did you know Superman has always been woke? Listen www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ol8... The Clan of the Fiery Cross was a 16 part Superman Serial where Superman took on the KKK, over the air AND in Real life, this was partially responsible for breaking the back of the KKK at the time! #Superman

Always make sure your code is simple and easy to read. You’ll thank yourself when you have to go back over your code trying to find the bug. Also, while some may disagree, write comments describing your code if you work with others or are prone to forget about your code afterward. #gamedev #vndev

Aesir is looking for a Mongolian voice actress for an upcoming trailer. Help us spread this far and wide so we can find a talented person of actual Mongolian descent 🙏

This is me about Alabama. My home state constantly goes out of its way to embarrass itself. That doesn’t mean that the ppl there, especially those marginalized & stuck under that states’ oppressive systems — those who don’t make the rules, are any less worth saving. Harmed ppl live in red states too

Hey. Don't boycott small businesses in Red States or the US if you can help it. Some of us are unemployably disabled and only survive through our small businesses.

VTubers are not AI-powered. Vtubing has nothing to do with AI at all. Some of them are against using AI, especially Gen-AI.

Why support a shitty corpo vtuber with themes we don't agree with, when you can support your local small streamer today! Theres so many that you're bound to find something you like

Imma be real chat I don't fuck with any VTubers who have l0li type models like that shit's gross. Block me or cancel me or whatever IDC that shit's weird. Acting like they don't have full creative control over the design?? These people KNOW what they're doing when they decide to use these models.

"...Two immortal lovers finally find a place in each other's hearts." Over the past two months, I have been lucky enough to work with a team of talented people on "A Stitch in Time" - a historical-fantasy otome set in the Byzantine empire. Play it on itch.io! cydewyn.itch.io/a-stitch-in-...

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 At 7:59am, Zeldin - Trump crony and head of EPA - received the Declaration of Dissent from EPA workers. Workers are uniting against political interference, censorship & rollbacks at EPA under Zeldin’s leadership. Someone’s week is off to a bad start. (1/5)

Just because a red state is a red state doesn't mean everyone in said red state is a right-winger. And if you want them to move out of said state, you better help them out or shut up. Poor people exist, and you can be poor and a leftist living in a red state.

Now the article is also available on Medium! "Being apolitical is the easiest cop-out for those who don’t care enough about marginalized people to take a stand." Read here: medium.com/@nyradrakoni...

IF YOU ARE A VTUBER, PLEASE DM ME AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET INVOLVED. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT VIEWCOUNT, BECAUSE THE MORE PEOPLE, THE MORE MONEY WE CAN RAISE AND THE MORE PEOPLE THAT MIGHT SEE US AND WANT TO HELP OUT

You guys know how I mentioned i was gonna raise money for the ACLU? Let's just say, I'm not alone, and this has turned into a big event with over a dozen different vtubers involved. Here's the campaign link, with more info as well. Also remember, #NoKings tiltify.com/+vtubers-aga...

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember: • do not announce you're attending online • do not sign any online RSVP • wear a mask • wear clothes that don't draw attention • leave your phone at home • bring bottled water • do not speak to cops • do not post photos after

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

I'm new to bluesky and I'm looking for other vtubers to follow, gimme some recommendations please?

Quick reminder of something I did about a year ago (back when the ORC license was new): hub.vroid.com/en/character... This model is free-to-use for streaming. I made it specifically for Pathfinder VTubers since I'm always eager to have more of us!

A journalist’s life has been threatened for 51 days straight for the “crime” of reporting on a fascist as well as the creeping air of queerphobic rot seeping into a multi-million dollar industry she covers. It’s being treated as “drama” #IStandWithAnaValens

Hello everyone! I'm currently conducting a research project on the VTuber community and would appreciate if you'd like the time to complete a short (5-10 min) survey I've made. The results will be made publicly available after I compile the data. Link to survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A few bigoted trolls have joined BlueSky to continue their harassment of Ana Valens because of the articles she's written. They're even targeting ones who used the #IStandWithAnaValens tag. I made a moderation list just in case more join. Don't interact just report & block. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The old saying goes "if there are 9 people at a table with a Nazi, you have a table of 10 Nazis." We in the VTuber community need to refuse to let the Nazi sit at the table. #IStandWithAnaValens - remember the lessons of Gamergate and give no voice to those who use it to oppress others.
