Thanks to everyone for their infinite patience! I'm happy to announce that the #VNConf 2025 talk playlist is now publicly available on the youtube channel!! bit.ly/vnconf2025pl...

... TIL that most of the cardboard boxes we have stored in the garage (no HVAC) has softened since we moved everything in there... Soooooo I think half my computer stuff has sorta collapsed and merged into a mountain of books and wires and whatever... 🤦‍♂️

true to 2025, #VNConf 2025 is... all sorts of chaos and unexpected stuff happening

#VNConf has started!!!!!! (if you have a ticket and zoom is yelling at you to authenticate, sign up for a free zoom account w/ your email because that's how they're verifying links)

LAST CALL for #VNConf tickets! I'm closing ticket sales at 10:30am vnconf.com

LOL the counter installers showed up. there's power tools going off EVERYWHERE in the house

Lololololol I was NOT expecting the floor installation crew to also show up today at 8:30am so this is gonna be one hell of a vnconf. Also I hope the noise canceling on zoom is up to snuff

We are about 16 hours away from #VNConf!!! Here's a 🧵 of stuff to prepare: 1- get your ticket(s) at vnconf.com 2- join the chat discord at discord.gg/devtalk , visual-conference is under "current events" 3- Ticket sales CLOSE about 30min before the event because I'll be busy (1/ #gamedev

remember how I joked about possibly hosting vnconf from a folding chair or inflatable mattress? we have a correction. It's now a slightly leaky inflatable mattress.

Ahhh #VNConf is tomorrow! Please get your tickets ASAP because I have manually send the invites out, and the house is still under Reno and I'm gonna be hosting tomorrow from a folding lawn chair in a cold room with no floor installed 🤣 vnconf.com

This year's VNConf is gonna be slightly more chaotic than previous years 🤣 it's fine. totally cool. we're gonna just roll with it and the show must go on. Also the kitchen countertops are somehow gonna get delivered and installed during that day. totally normal stuff to be happening mid conference

i’m proud to announce that i’ll be returning to give a new talk at vnconf this year! if you’ve ever wondered where to start with writing your visual novel… do i have the talk for YOU. (i’ll also give advice on working with a writing team!)

One heads up about #VNconf 2025, the videos are probably going to take a couple of weeks to get uploaded... because I don't have access to my normal video editing desktop until the house stops being an active construction zone and I pull it out of storage 🫠 Sooo, highly recommended you get a ticket

Ok folks, between home renovation and super chaotic life this year, I'm a bit behind on advertising #VNConf around. Plus social media landscape has been nuked as of recently. So if everyone could help spread the word about vnconf so we have a huge audience for speakers it'd be awesome

Caught up on #VNConf work, the invites for ticket purchase have been set up and the first wave sent out (it's manually done, by me) so we are SET to go for Jan 25th! #VNDev friends! get all your dev friends to come and join everyone else to have 7 hours of laughing, learning, and fun vnconf.com

Also yeah, #vnconf is highly likely to be hosted from an unfinished room ... Or an inflatable mattress... Or a folding lawn chair 😂🤣🤣🤣 so you'll forgive me for my camera being off

Why did vacation season already enddddddddd

omg #VNConf is not even 3 weeks away already!?!? Please buy your tickets now before you forget! $15, Jan 25th, a 7hr live event where you chat and ask questions while listening to speakers (who are also in chat) all but 1 talk is posted now, see vnconf.com Tell your #gamedev friends!

god dammit wwwww, the vnconf.com site had a broken header (and thus, no way to go to the cart) because wordpress abstracted menus at some point and my header menu wasn't "assigned to header" so it didn't show up OK please go buy your #VNconf tickets now that I fixed it #visualnovel #gamedev

Want to know how I found, contacted, and recruited all the VAs who voiced the characters in my game? It wasn't through a casting call. Check out my talk at this year's #VNConf to find out how *you* can do the same for your VN!!

I’ll be doing a quick talk on UI! Come join us!!!

It's amusing how the vnconf site is simple enough that it can be rebuilt in under a week of you really know what you're doing (happened in 2021 when the server died) but it also means there's a lot of static things and everything is manual

Ugh between food poisoning and kids care responsibilities demolishing entire weekends, I'll need more help from the community promoting #vnconf. So please tell your dev friends about it! It's a great event and usually ~100 ppl attend and make interest connections to other devs

2025 is speeding on by.. halpppp

Get your #VNConf tickets now!! Jan 25th is when a bunch of #vndev #gamedev folks get together to discuss topics relevant to VN game development, a bunch of talk profiles are up now. Attendance is online for live chat and q&a and just $15, w/ a discount for groups vnconf.com

Gyaaah I can't believe time is flying so fast, #vnconf is 22days away!?!? Get your tickets now, the schedule is in progress as speakers get their finalized details to me. But we should have roughly 14 speakers this year

Also, all responses to #VNconf talk sibmissions, both acceptances and rejections went out. If you haven't heard from me either way by no, check your email and/or ping me

And of course I forget the #gamedev #vn #vndev tags ><

Phew, that was a wild break, so much stuff to do! vnconf.com is now being updated w/ speaker and talk data as they finalize their submission!! Get your tickets now for the January 25th event!!

ok ok now that #VNConf voting has closed I'll be going thru the results and figuring out the draft program and then send out the acceptances. This usually takes me a couple of days and this weekend is very busy ><

Tomorrow night (EST) is the last call for community votes for what talks get accepted to #VNConf 2025!! The votes honestly decide almost ALL the talks that get accepted so it is super important to vote for all the talks you want to see at the conf #gamedev #visualnovel bit.ly/vnconf2025vote

Ranked choice voting of 24 items is pretty difficult! So start early so you're not rushing at the deadline!!

I'm not affiliated with the following presentations, but please vote for them so that I can listen to them! (In no particular order): 356 9a9 9ef cee

If you ever want to host your own dev conference, probably the hardest task is picking out which talks to accept because there's ALWAYS more good proposals than available slots. And you gotta build an interesting program. the #VNConf community vote gives you a taste of that bit.ly/vnconf2025vote

It's TIME! #VNConf 2025 community voting for talks has started just now! Polls close Dec 19th, 11:59pm EST Note we used ranked choice voting. it pays off to vote for many talks. Very often a single vote can be a tie-breaker for the talks in roughly 8th-14th place bit.ly/vnconf2025vote

A note about the #VNConf 2025 talk votes. Secrecy and anonymity is not required. If your talk is on there, feel free the shill and promote the heck out of it and get people excited about hearing it and voting #gamedev #vn opavote.com/en/vote/6498...
