Fall in love with dev drama~! 💕 Talents is part of the upcoming Steam’s Fall in Love Visual Novels Festival, and will be on sale‼️ Make games, pitch ideas, and navigate rivalries and romance in this otome.🎮✨ 🔗Game: store.steampowered.com/app/2528800/...

TALENTS tip! 🎮 Another way to skip the grind: finish all the good endings first! Doing this unlocks extra routes and lets you skip the prologue so you can dive straight into the route you want next. ✨ Did you discover this trick on your first playthrough? #otome #visualnovel

People kept on saying the game's unfinished... ma'am, that's the scope. 😭 That was intentional lol. Tho I get the pacing issue, but really its just a short 100k-word game, stated on the game's page... 🫠

✨New merch drop!✨ We just added more items to our Ko-fi shop, including our first TALENTS physical goodies 🎉 📦 Shipping is currently PH-only, but we’ve got a few digital items for everyone worldwide. Link ⬇️ #otome #gamemerch #visualnovel #gamedev

A few hours left before the 10% off disappears! Get it while it's on sale‼️

Tired, but grateful. 💕

Interview alert 👀✨! Check out this article by The Gaming Districts and learn the vision behind our game! Thanks for the feature! thegamingdistricts.com/talents-craf...

Shall we date will shut down in a few months. 😢 WH has always been my fav otome and influenced my writing the most, esp when writing timeskip endings & its variety. 🥹 I wish they could preserve it somehow. I'm only 80% done with the love interests.

Our first online interview! 👀

Y'all aren't ready for the revelations in the BTS book. 🤭 Some are mind-blowing and historical. 😄

Might do a poll on what game from Talents should we make into life soon. All of them are planned thoroughly including timelines (true to the game's pitches). But we'll see.

When someone says they 100%ed your game in 2 days because they couldn’t stop... 🥹 Thank you! So glad the art, routes, and voice acting hit right! 💕 P.S. Kris’s bad ends? Let’s just say… they’re 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩.😅 Think you can unlock them? Grab the game now! #otometwt

WE HAD A BLAST! Thank you guys so much for joining the stream and playing Talents with me and putting up with my debut shenanigans! I'll be streaming it again next week, and announcing the giveaway winners Saturday morning! Thank you all for a great beginning! ❣️

🌙 𝑺𝑻𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑴 𝑬𝑵𝑫 FINALLY got to play the full route for my fave guy, Harry, and even reached his good ending! 💙 But honestly, the true highlight of today's stream was me simping for mother---I mean, ALEX.

🔴 𝑵𝑶𝑾 𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑬 ➤ twitch.tv/talavt I'm...a game dev now???!! Playing TALENTS by @izumigames.bsky.social today! 🎮💛 #PHVTuber #VTubers #indiegame

I've found a way on how to take down no commentary vids of the full game (beyond the prologue parts). They're non transformative so fair use could be non-applicable. This will no longer be a request, as we could legally enforce it now. Thank you for your cooperation and supporting small indie devs.

｡;+★ 𝑺𝑻𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑴 𝑨𝑵𝑵𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑪𝑬𝑴𝑬𝑵𝑻 ☆+;｡ Super excited to re-visit TALENTS by @izumigames.bsky.social tomorrow! ✨ 🗓️ AUGUST 15 (Friday) ⏰ 3PM UTC+8 | 12AM PST | 3AM EST #PHVTuber #VTubers #indiegame

Do @thechamdrinkers.bsky.social have what it takes to write their way to success... and maybe find romance along the way? 📝♥️ Talents by @izumigames.bsky.social is out now, and we're excited to check it out this August 15th!

Help us reach a rating category on Steam? 🥺🙏

LETS GOOO\! The schedule's live! From a Talents giveaway, to me playing my very first horror game on stream, to checking out some of the indies you didn't know but NEED to see! Let's start this show and my return to streaming with a BANG! ❣️✨💥 t.co/sNWbz1bK7r

Someone uploaded a no commentary vid of the full game online. 🫠 Why are creative issues piling up since last month..haha. Just last month, I also had to deal with piracy and an offer that almost risked my IP. 🫠 In my local expression, I'd normally say 'sumbaganay nalang oh'. 😂

Did you know each route in the full game lets you make a different 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘳𝘦? 👀 Rhythm games? Dating sim? Horror??? You’re not just romancing devs—you’re making games 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 them. 🎮💕 Available now on Steam & Itch! #otome #gamedevdrama #romcom

I love this game so much 🥹💖

Finally starting to feel better. I feel like moving now. Gotta get back to working on the artbook and marketing. 🥳

I’ve seen feedback saying the endings felt rushed. Thanks for the honesty! They weren’t (except maybe Alexis, which was meant to be DLC 😅), but I get how the pacing might feel off. I’ve never dated (lol 🥲), so writing romance is still new to me. Grateful to everyone who’s supported the game! 💖

Remaining merch stocks from PGDX are now available on our Ko-fi shop! Unfortunately, we can only ship within the Philippines. Check out the catalogue! ko-fi.com/izumigames/s...

Check out this Talents feature by Jitterue on her Youtube Channel! Think she has you convinced? www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTlT...

Thanks for tuning in for #TalentsVN earlier! We had great times with Shin & now we get to create a theme song together. The game remains informative, funny & ended up loving everyone's dynamic character. Can't wait to play more.

At 1:30 EST we'll be streaming Talents, a story of romance & chasing your dreams made by @izumigames.bsky.social! A demo I've played a few years ago & finally excited we get to revisit it. ✨ 🎮 twitch.tv/sailorotome #sailorotomestreams #indieotome

I've been getting sick more frequently ever since releasing my game, hence the lack of marketing effort and artbook updates haha. Getting sick and being broke is a deadly combination.

& the next day, we'll revisit TALENTS made by @izumigames.bsky.social! It's been two years since I've played the demo & I'm excited to revisit this gem again as we embark on a journey as an indie game dev.
