What the hell kind of SEO stuffing bullshit did I just wander into
Even on my personal account that has adult content visible, there's only one porn game and it's actually a BL game lol
Side note: considering Steam's tendency of slapping random games into the More Like This section of every VN page, I feel like I lucked out by actually getting a decently relevant selection of games
So it might not surprise you to know that I regularly check for new VN demos on Steam. Lately there's been a developer flooding the VN tag with AI slop eroge that all have basically the exact same capsules (exactly three AI-generated anime women with big tits, bottom center logo). It's so annoying
...and second of all, the gothic vampire BL romance visual novel Bonded in Darkness. (I have some really exciting news about this game coming up soon, by the way!!) $60 bundle: itch.io/b/3682/the-p... $10 pay what you can bundle: itch.io/b/3684/the-p...
There's only a couple days left for the Power of Pride bundle! Here's a friendly reminder that I've got two games in the bundle: first off, the Game Boy mad scientist polycule escape game Emmy's Lab Escape... $60 bundle: itch.io/b/3682/the-p... $10 pay what you can bundle: itch.io/b/3684/the-p...
So let me get this straight: Valve thinks people will be lining up to buy their PC-console at One Thousand US Dollars in order to play Stardew Valley at a desk with a keyboard on a regular computer monitor
Alas, the sole movie theatre in town is not cool enough to show yuri on the big screen
I see that I missed some truly riveting stuff by not checking my twitter list for a while
shoot em up = shmup first person shooter =
did a double take seeing this dropdown
Hello #InternationalAsexualityDay, here is my video game about an asexual vampire that you can play ✨right now ✨completely for free It's a short enemies-to-lovers gothic romance visual novel 🖤 natashaluna.itch.io/bonded-in-da...
This is the funniest reason for a character in a romance game to be non-romanceable
...it turns out the reason is just that the plays it's based on do the same thing. Kind of anticlimactic lol Weirdly I've seen multiple people who're disappointed that the game doesn't include any romance in either version, but nothing about the Steam page seems to indicate there would be any...?
I just noticed that the answer to the AI generation disclosure is now included in the game's info panel on itch. You've now got double the reason not to use one of your 10 tag slots on "No AI" When you only get 10 tags, you gotta optimize
We were having perfectly lovely spring temperatures before yesterday the weather came up and reminded us that ACTUALLY 🤓👆 it’s still winter until the equinox on Friday
The problem with being a VN fan is that every "for you" recommendation on Steam is filled with a random selection of games that are obviously aimed at separate non-overlapping audiences which no human being would ever think to group together
I made a whole game about this dynamic that anyone with an internet browser can play for free natashaluna.itch.io/bonded-in-da...
i can be your angle...or yuor devil
So did itchio users suddenly get SUPER interested in frutiger aero aesthetics or...? It's not even an official tag so idk how more people are getting to Seascape Paradiso via it vs the anti-ICE bundle going on
I generally agree, but I think the Morrowind viewer count probably says more about the one specific vtuber currently playing it than about how popular it is compared to the other Elder Scrolls games
I like how this spambot copy pasting my entire display name makes it look like the DM is telling me to play a game I made
PSA: If you're making a Ren'Py game where you can name the MC and you don't want to come up with a default name, it's super easy to block the player from playing the entire game with an empty name (this is a quick thing I did in a test project, I'm sure there are other solutions as well)
