Today (2/21) is Jem's birthday! 🎉 Watch a short skit here: youtu.be/CsvwB9nIUJw

✨ Live Now ✨ It's Friday, which means its otome night!! We finished Royal Order last week, so this week we're checking out @crescence-studio.itch.io 's new jam game - My Wish To You! Doing some yapping then we will dive in~ #VtuberLive #Otome #Kitsune www.twitch.tv/mintsunesylph

ofc there needs to be more funding sources for small games in general, but there also needs to be funding for translations specifically- the number of times I've seen devs have to make publishing the game in their native language a distant stretch goal is devastating

I have been doing some portfolio refining so it is time for a new pinned post! If anyone is looking for an artist in the future I'd love to work with you 💜 Email: [email protected] Portfolio: stefbaz.com

Hey y'all, I'm a Black narrative designer, writer, editor & consultant who was impacted by layoffs last year. I'm available for immediate work in comics, books and games! Website: www.jayjustice.net LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jay-justi... Direct Support: ko-fi.com/thatjayjustice

Dusted off my game jam skills for #ShoujoseiJam to do art for My Wish to You with so many great friends! Check it out to meet our beloved characters and also let me know how hot Haruto is :) Play it for free here: crescence-studio.itch.io/my-wish-to-you

Oh my god, PLEASE play this. It's so goddamn funny. The writing is absolutely fantastic, it's such a clever execution and spin on a VN, and ofc Mike Young is in it, what more could you ask for??? IF YOU DON'T PLAY IT I WILL UNFRY YOUR RICE AND THAT IS A THREAT AND A PROMISE.

New from me. A years-long battle with Valve's ineffective moderation rumbles on as bigotry and harassment is given persistent passes on Steam. It leads to lengthy, sometimes traumatic, processes to get content that violates Steam's own guidelines removed – if it ever is. In @theguardian.com.

My #MVNA project is released! It comes with many art assets by wonderful artists to make immersive particle effects right away. I spent far too much time adding all sorts of movement options and customization to it, so it would mean a lot if you checked it out! feniksdev.itch.io/immersive-pa...

Chicago UP is running a HUGE sale, and you can get extremely well-researched hard-bound books about all sorts of topics and all sorts of places for a price of a cheap paperback press.uchicago.edu/resource/Sal...

🌸 MY WISH TO YOU RELEASE 🌸 Introducing the Shoujosei Game of your DREAMS! Enlist the help of your fellow yokai as you get your shrine festival-ready in only SIX WEEKS. Our stat-raising otome is OUT NOW! ⛩️❤️ Link: crescence-studio.itch.io/my-wish-to-you

Discord might have cut ties but they're still planning to roll out age verification globally next month. Continue to cancel your nitro subscriptions, if you haven't done so already. Don't boosts servers as well. Hit them in the wallet.

I'd love to add some helpful resources I used to get away from big tech! 1) www.optoutproject.net/the-cyber-cl... - kind and informative step-by-step guide to reclaiming your data 2) www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/w... - helpful community and alts 3) european-alternatives.eu - privacy focused app alts

the energy of the two shoujosei games I'm on are so wildly different it makes me cackle every time I switch servers

Special valentines for that special someone in your life 💕 You can also wishlist my queer horror game Our Wonderland to spread the true meaning of Valentine's Day (trauma-ridden gay horror): store.steampowered.com/app/4329100/... #oc | #ocsky | #visualnovel

No shoujo is complete without their iconic theme song 🫡 Sneak peek of ours with our equally iconic main menu 🌸 Our team is Working Hard to get our stat-raising otome out to you all. My Wish to You drops in THREE DAYS 💖 OST: @purekreativity.com GUI: @beeccoe.bsky.social

The Queer Games Bundle is officially disbanding. There will not be another bundle this year. Thank you for your support over the years. Please continue to help each other. A community can only exist if it helps each other survive in a meaningful way. Read our final statements here:

Thanks to the incredible kindness of @projectenso.games, my queer horror game Our Wonderland is coming to Steam! It'll be the remastered version packed with new art and goodies! This is a second chance for the game after the itch deindexing. Wishlist it now! store.steampowered.com/app/4329100/...

DtD DATE! is currently 5th place (!) in popularity in @robobarbie.dev 's Finish the God Damn Game Jam! There's plenty of other visual novels here, too, if you want to check out more stories finally getting their due.

new devlog is up! (featured: you!) 🌟read on tumblr 🌟read on itch #otomedev #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #visualnovel #vndev

While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with. Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.

#vndev I'm enlisting your help - what do I name this tool? What will describe what it does + make you want to take a look? It can do falling particles of all kinds, and also smoke, fireflies, raindrop splashes, and more. BG: Vic Alen, Our Life: Now & Forever Leaves: @kigyodev.com (included w/tool!)

Discord posted an update abt their age verification - I feel the need to inform people that all of these things were already true last year when they had that data breach that exposed people's IDs. Bad actors got into a customer support account that had access to tickets with people's IDs in them.

You ever get a strong deja vu feeling when you talk to a first-time visual novel developer? I made a video explaining why. #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVxR...

Gamers! There's a big bundle of games on sale on Itch.io to support the Immigrant Law Center of Minneapolis. itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.

"First they came for the sex worker / porn sites, and I did not speak out because..."

They're closing the support email on this one, apparently. But this (currently) still works: support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

it's too early for a headache, but anyways winter knight's trailer is up www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkAT...

I'm having a little too much fun making examples 😂 You can specify "origin points" for particles, which makes effects like smoke and sparks coming from a campfire possible! BG from maciaz.itch.io/14-fantasy-b...

Busy next week? Because I know a cutie who's interested in spending some time with you 👀 That's right, Francesco's second chapter is releasing on Valentine's Day! We'll see you all on February 14th for a lighthearted chapter of hijinks and sweetness and absolutely nothing going wrong 😊

we're locking #ShoujoseiJam

Meet our second love interest: Haruto 🐦‍⬛💙 The classic second male lead. The one that should've been. The one that CAN BE. He's worried about his feathers... Tengu don't get premature balding, right? Coming soon to our Shoujosei Game: My Wish to You 🌸 VA reveals to come!

Sneak peek of the improved SnowBlossom - includes slow_start to add more particles over time & adjust their speed, fluttering motion, better performance, and more! I'm so excited with how the examples are turning out 💖 BG from neeka.itch.io/winter-park-...

We're excited to announce we've officially met our partial voice acting goal!! The characters will have sound bytes for each line and CGs will be fully voiced. It'll be a few months before we're ready to open auditions, but for now, thank you for the continued support!

Uh oh, my visual novel got mad and smashed the text box open

#MVNA SnowBlossom improvements are coming along well! Added some unusual features like acceleration 😯 HUGE thank you to those who have gotten in touch to provide images to include - there's always room for more art styles if anyone else is interested in contributing! Info linked in the quoted post 🥰
