Hey guys it's Melody here with another Ninon progress update and-- Wait, what's up with this freaky CG? #otome | #visualnovel | #vndev | #NinonTheUpsideDownMermaid

Was thinking of being a bit more adventurous and making a certain CG in the Ninon VN use line boil ala Slay the Princess or summin (FireAlpaca got an onion skin feature, which I feel would help), but then I realized that RenPy doesn't support GIF files, so... I unno what to do now.

The finale is steadily approaching! As of now, the script sits at around 22.7k words (according to Lint), which is a bit more than I'd expected (haha) On another note, here's some CG work from the middle(?) of Chapter 4! #otome | #visualnovel | #vndev | #NinonTheUpsideDownMermaid

Weather update: Ninon's development seems to be finishing up! I've finished up coding and drawing for the bad end, so now all that's left now is the good end + epilogue! Here's a sneak peek of some of my favorite Chapter 4 CGs I've drawn!

Ninon and Vivien doing a bit of reading together. I wonder what book that is... 🧜‍♀️ #otome | #visualnovel | #vndev | #NinonTheUpsideDownMermaid

Ninon the Upside-Down Mermaid's demo is a part of the incomplete assortment! If you can, do check it and the other entries out (and leave a rating/comment if you can, it helps boost visibility) 🐟🌹

Tfw you're using a placeholder song while you attempt to compose an original piece for your otome VN, but the placeholder song is so good you're not sure how you can top it 😔

Hello all, and happy Halloween! I don't have anything for the occasion, but I have recently revised the cover for Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid! Ain't she a beaut? 🪸🐟🌹

Weather update: The third chapter is now fully in-engine! Now there's just one more chapter left (and an epilogue~?) before the end. Didn't think I'd make it this far, but I did! For now, have a couple of cut-ins I made for the end of Chapter 3. #visualnovel #vndev #NinontheUpsideDownMermaid

It's #screenshotsaturday again! Who's up for some Metal Gear Fontaine? #visualnovel #vndev #NinontheUpsideDownMermaid

No new Ninon-related stuff, but I do have this funny. #NinontheUpsideDownMermaid

Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid's extended demo has officially been released! Containing all of Chapter 2 and a part of Chapter 3. Give it some love, would you kindly? 🐟🌹 madame-photon.itch.io/ninon-the-up... #otome | #visualnovel | #vndev | #NinonTheUpsideDownMermaid

Speaking of Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid, I might as well let you know now that I also snuck a few Mili references into that game too.

After doing a bit of thinking, I've decided to take matters into my own hands, and am currently looking for folks to stream/play through Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid. Any #otome lovers out there looking to try out the funny mermaid game?

So, I've been on an Invader Zim kick lately, and upon revisiting Zenith of Antinomic Monarch, I've nooticed™️ something.

Heeey, so while I was working on the script for Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid, I'd come to the realization that I'd made juuuust enough progress to be able to release an extended demo! This new demo will supersede the old one, and contain all of Chapter 2 and a part of Chapter 3

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Who that could be, interrupting Ninon and Vivien's cafe date so rudely? #otome | #visualnovel | #vndev | #NinonTheUpsideDownMermaid

Chapter 3 of Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid is in progress! In which Ninon finally meets Vivien up close, and then... 😳 #otome | #visualnovel | #vndev | #NinonTheUpsideDownMermaid

I guess we doin' another Touhou ZoAM anniversary post🍠 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihaX...

Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid's demo has officially surpassed 200+ browser plays On an unrelated note, Ninon's gotten herself a glow-up(??) #otome | #visualnovel | #vndev | #NinonTheUpsideDownMermaid

How's that whole thing going, pal? 'Cause I'll more-often-than-not find myself getting geoblocked despite me not being from Mississippi.

Weather update: Chapter 2 progress is going smoothly thus far. Say, what's Vivien been up to, lately?

So, I hear that Touhou 20 recently got a full version, and I gotta say, these new bosses are something else.

[ #Splatoon ] Bunnyboy Muruta Bottom in honor of Bunny Day (which has already passed, lol)

Got nothing else to talk about pertaining to Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid (that isn't just me trying to seek out assistance for the writing lmao), so here's some concept art I made for Vivien and Ninon

Hey, does anyone know where I am able to go for assistance pertaining to writing VNs (that aren't the Devtalk/Otome Dev servers, since I'm already in those). I really need some help in getting Ninon off the ground in time for SuNoFes.

[ cw: animal death ] So.... the youngest of our three dogs (the one-and-only son of the other two, actually) had passed last night. I am currently unsure on how to feel right now, and I am swapping through so many emotions internally.

A few days back, I discovered Ellipsus via a VN dev Discord server I'm in, and I am currently trying that out for my writing. I figured it'd be fitting that I'd use the Mermaid palette for a story about a mermaid (haha)

Alright, enough pessimism. Time to get back to VN development (and also Artfight. Check out this link to see how that's going artfight.net/~MadamePhoton)

Hello, all. I still feel a bit sick at the moment from what happened last night, so if anyone could give me a reason to keep on going with making and posting stuff pertaining to VNs, please do. I need that hope right now.

As someone who was planning on publishing VNs based around this sorta content (for the sake of catering to my incredibly underrated niche, mainly), I am incredibly scared right now. I actually feel like I'm gonna be sick.

Whatup, Splatoon gang, it's your girl xXMurdochFeederFan04Xx, today I am here with a daily reminder that I love this scalolp and I think he deserves to be ____ by a cute girl. Follow me for more insightful content on the best Splatoon character.

Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid's demo recently reached over 100 browser plays! Thank you so much for the support thus far. I am still trying to get the story in order, but I do hope I can finish this project by SuNoFes.

If you're wondering about the progress for Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid thus far, here is what I've managed to write down for the start of Chapter 2. ...I'm a bit uncertain about this writing, not gonna lie.

Weather update: Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid (my #OtomeJam project) now has a demo showcasing Chapter 1 of 4! A story based loosely around The Little Mermaid, starring a reverse mermaid princess on a quest in search of someone who'll accept her. 🐟🌹 madame-photon.itch.io/ninon-the-up...

I couldn't get Ninon the Upside-down Mermaid's story finalized before #OtomeJam ended, so here's a teaser for the time being. madame-photon.itch.io/ninon-the-up...

Weather update on my #OtomeJam project: Just worked on a few more CGs for the first chapter. Such as this one from Ninon's first encounter with Vivien.

[ #Splatoon ] It's me. I'm Splatoon fans

If you're wondering whatever happened to Rosetta and the Well, the game page has been restricted behind a password for the time being. I didn't want a game that I'm no longer proud of to overshadow my other works, especially my other mermaid-themed VN that I'm making for Otome Jam.
