v0.8.03 goes to Beta, with some silly antics and a serious decision concerning Lyriel! rift.ink/4gv8rPT #waifu #adultgame

VN update: Got rollback & rollforward working, with branching "reality" when advancing from a previous point. Need to fix up background transitions, always more work to do. But hey, be proud of what you've achieved! Baby steps y'know? #vndev #indiedev #godot

Had a weird dream last night about developing a VN with interactive dialogue box. Threw together a quick prototype. For sure an interesting concept. #vndev #indiedev #godot

Date selection scene is coming along swimmingly, still lacking the whole refine and polish part. But hey, at least the functionality is there! Passing along signals and all~ #visualnovel #godot #vndev #indiedev

Finally managed to get a save-load system in place, along with a feng shui minimalist options menu. How do people keep track of their code? I'm starting to get lost in this wavey-web of spaghetti code, despite my best efforts to not get it all tangled up. #vndev #indiedev #godot #visualnovel

Small devlog about my barebones VN scripting language + parser for Godot 4. Early alpha notes on tokens, modules, and the runtime timeline. #vndev #indiedev #godot www.patreon.com/posts/protot...

Experimenting with a temperature simulation system in Godot, early proof of concept, fun start but a long way to go! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Posted a breakdown of insights from my recent VN tool&creator survey. Covering tool frustrations, feature wishes, and some replies into what VN devs actually want. If you're into VN development, or indie game tools, take a look: #vndev #indiedev #godot patreon.com/posts/vn-tooling-so-134834902

First make it exist, you can make it look good later. UI design is tedious busy-work. #Godot #indiedev #vndev #visualnovel

Was told this helped someone out, so... Here's an editable Game Design Document template for narrative games, intended for visual novels, interactive fiction, etc Includes some bonus sections for pitching a game too meiri.itch.io/game-design-... #VNDev #indiedev #gamedev #interactivefiction

Hiya folks! Fresh dev here. Chancing to achieve my dream of game dev, hope some of you can find interest in my journey here as I'll attempt to go from zero (no prior dev experience) to hero (release a decent product) using Godot for the VN market!
