This took longer than I thought it would, but I finally wrapped up the Ren'Py Quiz Kit and released it. Basically the idea is that you can use Ren'Py to create multimedia personality quizzes that are light and web & mobile compatible for your fans. makevisualnovels.itch.io/mvnquiz

If you're an indie dev and you're cutting a trailer based on the advice of some saucless individual who's like "le people only watch the first 20 seconds" then stop right now and focus on making it as cool as possible. Aim for your actual audience and not people who don't fw your atmospheric intro.

dia tranquilo em lugar nenhum #pixelart

love that my favorite hobby is video games but im also incredibly bad at playing video games

i love that my dq3 mum collectively refers to my party as “children”

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Not related to my main VN project but I’m working on some UI programming for the #gameoff with some friends from college. Here is some footage of my very simple UI I made, inspired by Saul Bass and a can of monster energy that I sped through last night. youtu.be/-MU2UXf1juM

Brothers and non-brothers, I might or might not have figured the tech. It lacks some stuff I'm yet to wrap my brain around, but at the moment if you tag your post with #vndev, #indievn or #visualnoveldev it should automatically make its way into this feed (spread this) bsky.app/profile/did:...

Looking for less commercial alternatives to game awards (of all sizes)? Indiepocalypse is a monthly anthology of indie games showcasing devs about as far away from the commercial games space as you can get. It even pays all participants! (including commissioning new games) itch.io/c/689872/ind...

hello bluesky... I am a game dev and writer currently making a survival horror/adventure game in rpg maker!!

LRT: If you’re a game dev, consider having your own blog/site. It’s probably going to last longer than any social media platform, unless you choose to shut it down yourself, and it’s really nice having a “home base” that can’t get destroyed by a bored billionaire.

Coming back from @glitchcity.bsky.social Strawberry Jam. It feels nice to get some work done even if Godot is all kind of new for me. #gamedev #thoughts

hey 3d artists, if someone says "it looks like Runescape" about your game, I recommend NOT taking it as an insult -- I've come to the conclusion that what non-devs mean when they say this is "lower resolution but not PlayStation 1 or N64 or Blizzard style and I don't know how to talk about that"

So close to finishing my script for my next VN. It’s crazy how many rewrites I’ve done of it. It’s my perfectionist toxic trait. #gamedev #thoughts

First (updated) post on Bluesky! My name is Yasmine but feel free to call me by my username. If you enjoy horror/yuri/moe type games, consider giving me a follow. I'll follow other game dev mutuals too! TRY MY GAMES: yukimisoft.itch.io

You want ME to give YOU control over MY RenPy camera??? Forget the cozy winter yuri visual novel plot. Time to fly to Mars and help Doomguy and Isabelle shoot down some demon spawn.

I’m also in this too! If you like girl’s love ❤️ you know where to find us!

Me and a bunch of other sweet horror VN devs are here! Come check out the list!

Collabing with YUKIMISOFT who will be doing CGs for 'Starlight Meets the City Lights', a cozy winter yuri vn! My first dm was literally "you know I'm going to say yes".

MEGATHREAD of cool games / experiences I'm playing! This will be updated semi-frequently as I try out a variety of visual novels, retro games, and other fun stuff I find on the Internet. I'll try to include a link if possible with links to an English patch if needed.

Please consider wishlisting HEAVENSCAPE! we are a little under 25 wishlists away from reaching a huge goal! It would mean a lot and there is incredibly exciting stuff coming soon!! store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app...

Also, let me reintroduce myself, thanks to bsky actually connecting me with people interested in my stuff. ★ I will create cute yuri VNs that are secretly traps to lure you into horror or nakige 🙃 • My VTuber horror game won Best Visual Effects. • A cozy winter yuri romance is IN DEVELOPMENT NOW.
