"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

its important to learn from your mistakes. like when you realise one character doesn't have a stupid enough name for your setting and you rename him to Ota Wireless

I've been submitting SSDD to fuckloads of steam festivals as well as local games events and getting no bites. I wasn't expecting solodev vn marketing to be easy but eek 💀 one can only hope having a demo out will make it a little easier to get accepted into something...!

today I added a hot new accessibility option for Slipstream Daydreams - the game's art is super bright and flashy, so for any players who struggle with eye strain or need strong blue light filters you will have access to a full set of colour adjustment tools! #vndev #accessibility 🐬

ty for helping me reduce my scope to less bgs 🫡 as a beginner vndev i think it's easy to write yourself into a corner when you script first and then go oh fuck i described them interacting with stuff and places now i have to DRAW THEM 😱 but you showed how you can do a lot within the same 'space'!

banger article, this helped me work out what I need to do for my more complex scenes with lots of walking around 🙏 conceptualising the stage as separate from the background art has really made things click for me

sometimes a scene just needs a little extra sauce - here's a before and after of lori kitsch's interview set! i redid the lineart on the foreground to make the lines more consistent with the characters as well as adding more detail to the background and adding a glass for lori, lol #vndev #ocsky

a screenshot of a visual novel showing three characters in a brightly coloured, cluttered background

the same screenshot as before but the background now has even more clutter, the lighting has been adjusted, and the lineart redone in the foreground

i finished the final draft for a scene with complete sprite direction and touched up the background 🌈🐬 it feels good to have a complete vertical slice but now I'm very conscious i have to bring everything else up to that standard...!

Puzzle Spy International launches TOMORROW on Steam for Win, Mac, and Linux! Grab some friends and work your way through fun, challenging wordplay, deduction and rules discovery puzzles. Talk to contacts and flirt with them (or not as you see fit.) Save the day! #indieGame #indieGames #puzzleGame

In Rome's Museo di Neo Geo (a fictional museum of geology), Agent Epsilon raises here hands exultantly as she smiles. Museum Director Stefania Plinth stands behind her, looking shocked. The art is cartoony mid-century modern style with strong line art, bold colors (the background is all purple nd gold) and paper grain showing.

if you want to support visual novel devs: - wishlist our games on Steam - leave reviews / ratings for them on store platforms - tell friends about our games - recommend them to streamers to play - share posts on social media - tell a developer you enjoy their work

i spent the last couple of days replacing my messy amateur lump of code i copy-and-pasted to each scene with a python function. you stick the chapter name into and it works out where to send the player based on their choices in that chapter! my life is so much easier (and it works better now) #vndev
