Happy #NewYear folks! May you achieve all your goals and dreams this year! 🎆 Hope you all have a great one, and stay safe as always!

Woke up to seeing a spike in #DSPPA downloads on #itchio! 🫢 I may not be the most popular #vndev out there but seeing the occasional spike makes me happy people want to play my games! Thank you to those who gave it a chance. That means lots to me! ^_^ ❤️

#MerryChristmas folks from Project Memoria! Have a safe and wonderful holiday, and may your wishes come true! 🎄😃🎄

Dating Sim! Paulina's Precious Autumn (DSPPA) demo has been released! Download: thebackup.itch.io/dating-sim-p... Really hope you enjoy what you see. Let me know what you think! ^^ #dsppa #vn #visualnovel #demo

DSPPA demo release is coming up so fast (12/12)! Thankfully we're on schedule as I've been working my butt off testing the game and writing on my devlog for this major update - look forward to it! #renpy #vn #visualnovel #vndev

Hi folks, I can't believe it's December already! Been working diligently the past month towards a DSPPA demo release on 12/12, trying to make it as presentable as possible. That means check out the animated sparkles! ✨ #visualnovel #vn #anime #renpy #wip

The demo for Dating Sim! Paulina's Precious Autumn (DSPPA) is set for release on 12/12/25! This year has been rather hectic for me... but here we are! Devlog: wp.me/pBpF8-18s #vn #visualnovel #vndev #anime

We have released a brand new demo! @sayuui.com made us some beautiful art to celebrate! The demo itself contains: - A 35k word script 📖 - 3 character routes ❤️💙💜 - 4 CGs 🖼️ - 10 music tracks 🎵 - high resolution character sprites & animations 🎬 #visualnovel #indiegame #vn #kosmosconnections #vndev

What's this, an update for the second consecutive month?! 😮 Let's meet the waitresses of DSPPA! Devlog: wp.me/pBpF8-18f #visualnovel #vn #vndev #anime

1/3 Morning folks. I managed to push out a rather sizeable DSPPA update since like, forever! Got a lot done between then and now! Hope you like what you see in the sample video. 😀 Devlog: wp.me/pBpF8-17G #vndev #visualnovel #vn #anime youtu.be/yejjvd5pbX0

Hey folks! It's been a while since the last time I gave any updates about DSPPA. I'm still hard at work at it, it's just that ever since I came back from my Japan trip last April that social media has made be a bit... too weary to post project updates. #visualnovel #vndev

Hi folks! It's been a long two weeks but I'm finally home from my #Japan trip! It was rather tiring, but at the same time I had a blast. I still have much to see of the country but I saw quite a bit in just two weeks! #travel

Excuse the short notice, but guess what? I'm traveling to Japan tomorrow 😆🇯🇵 Been planning this trip for well over a year. This is a much needed break from my day job (haven't taken PTO in a long while) and being a VN dev... I'm stoked. ^_^ #travel

It's update time, folks! Trying to get up to speed with DSPPA. Here are a couple event CGs of Paulina (one completed, one #wip). I hope you enjoy what you see here! ^_^ More details in devlog: wp.me/pBpF8-17h #anime #animeart #art #vn #vndev #visualnovel

1/2: Ever feel like whenever you receive progress (notifications) from your #gamedev team that you need to respond immediately? As in look over art progress, and the like? b/c at work or running errands or whatever I get this urge to drop whatever I'm doing and look over them, as a part of me

This is our every-once-in-a-while plea to please consider giving our game a review if you liked it! We would love to hit 50 on Steam someday so we can get a bit more visibility. Beyond that, we just like seeing what people think of what we've done. As we work on new stuff, it keeps us motivated 💗

NGL one of the best parts of being a #vndev is the ability to create your own waifus (or husbandos); for me, Café Memoria's Mikaela to Paulina in my recent project. Nothing wrong with that, right? 🐱

Morning! It's been a rather busy month for me, but here's a devlog update for Paulina's Precious Autumn! wp.me/pBpF8-16X TL;DR: We're making progress, enjoy some artwork of the protag ^^ Hope you all have a superb day! #gamedev #visualnovel #vn #vndev #gamedev #art #anime

Finally hung our shingle outside our (nonexistent) corporate storefront! Because our games are free. Because we're tired of throwing elbows with other Indies. Because we just want everybody to enjoy art, regardless of their wallet.

Spent a good hour writing notes (making changes) on a document for Event CG notes, but lost those changes b/c MS Word refuses to save the file - no error message or anything. I'm beyond frustrated💢 Anyone else here had this experience?

Happy Valentines Day. Just a friendly reminder to not take love (in its many forms) for granted. Hope you all have an awesome day! ❤️

Hello! It's our first post on Bluesky! Please consider following us and our projects! Zeta Wolf Chronicles is a slice-of-life, romance visual novel with 4 routes, fully funded on Kickstarter! Look out for a public demo on Steam this year! #indiedev #indiegames #videogames #vn #visualnovel #vndev

Good morning folks, update time! Here's a sample DSPPA gameplay video. ^.^ I know, no audio just yet, but I'm working on it. I hope you like what you see so far! #vn #vndev #visualnovel #anime Devlog: wp.me/pBpF8-16s youtu.be/5G0CFuvpIdE

Hello, Bluesky! We're Somnova Studios! We are a group of game developers with a focus on making wholesome, heartwarming visual novels. Please check out our latest title, Missing Stars! store.steampowered.com/app/2261640/... somnova-studios.itch.io/missing-stars #visualnovel

Hi everyone!! A group of people and I made a little game for the 2025 Global Game Jam! It's about a kitty cat that loves to be dirty and will do anything in his power to escape getting a bath 🫧 [ #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gamejam ] globalgamejam.org/games/2025/e...

The fun part of pre-production: all the possibilities! All the cool things that I want to include 🤩 characters and systems and stats and ✨ The dreadful part of pre-production: the sad realities of budgeting 🥲

We're looking to hire a general Ren'Py programmer to help us script our yuri visual novels! They will primarily be scripting expressions and images. Please DM us here or email us at melanie(at)vnstudioelan.com with a link to your portfolio / prior games and your rates. #visualnovel #vndev

NGL my game(s) don't sell much, and it takes *months* in between to see new purchases. That being said, it's irritating that #itchio requires a min balance of $5 for payouts. @_@ These things I kinda wish my projects were more popular, but better than nothing, heh. ^^; #vndev #gamedev

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it. patreon.com/cheekynauts

It's been a year since I've released "Dating Sim! Luna's Lovely Summer"! Keep warm in the winter by enjoying a summer with the lovely Luna! Try the demo and purchase the game if you've enjoyed it, your support means everything! ❤️ thebackup.itch.io/dating-sim-l... #vn #visualnovel #anime #itchio

Happy #NewYear everyone! May you achieve all your goals and dreams this year. 🎊 What are your goals / dreams?

Received a surprise in the mail - just thought I'd share a pic that my niece drew for me. I was totally not expecting this, #Nahida's one of my favorite #GenshinImpact characters! Her drawings have been improving each time we see each other... she's so talented. ♥️ #art #anime

Merry #Christmas from Project Memoria! 🎄 Commissioned this lovely piece of Café Memoria's Ryne & Julia from Cele (@310v3.bsky.social). Have a safe and wonderful holidays! ^.^ #art #anime

Must say I've had this account for over a year already and I've yet to make a post... Nevertheless, hello folks! I'm Ryne (aka thebackup / Project Memoria / PixaelSoft) and I'm a #vndev (to those who don't already know). To those who've seen me elsewhere, nice to see you here! ^_^
