The two guys on the front have very narrow and longs faces^^; purple dude got hit the worst

There already is a review by otomekitten btw!

GDoc Expo is all about uplifting talented developers with perspectives and stories that otherwise don’t get a lot of attention in mainstream gamedev circles and media otherwise. That’s why it’s important to support events like these.

If you would like, you can check out the hundreds of other gamedev events on gameconfguide! Why not participate in #notGDC this year? It’s free, open for everyone, and there’s a low barrier of entry 😉

we discussed this over in !otomegames@ani.social back when it was initially announced! The fandom seems to be delighted about this feature, but I’m personally more concerned about the data privacy aspect of it all…the author is absolutely right to look at this whole thing with scepticism

I find it a little far-fetched to solely link the popularity of otome games to some kind of frustration with modern dating, though. Romance games (and romance in games, e.g. Baldur’s Gate 3 or Mass Effect) offer a lot of fun in-and-of themselves.

It’s true that many gachas use VN format for storytelling, but from what I see they aren’t generally considered VNs 🤔 I’d say the critical difference is that the core gameplay consists of character collection, resource management, upgrades, and whatever battle system/interactive game mechanics the game uses, rather than story? Though I spent a considerable amount of time reading the main story and side stories in granblue fantasy myself…

It’s a section at the bottom of the steam store page:

Is Gnosia good? I found out about it via the anime announcement and got curious

Code is also part of Steam’s required AI disclosure form , so I think it should be filtered as well

I’ve played those “Choice of” games before, but that was a few years ago 🤔

There is the !adventuregames@lemm.ee community though! It’s more of a general narrative game community, but IF is included

SE didn’t pull any punches with that artwork ;v;

We get a boyband outfit for this event, so I’m really excited for it!!

Really curious about this game since it’s made by a solo dev as well 🤔

Danke für die Info! werde mich dann wohl auch ins HO verziehen^^

Just chiming in to say that your comment made me laugh :,)

Any recommendations on what to get for someone who likes darker settings? (also LMAO at jack jeanne already being sold out 😭)

Edit: Nevermind, the sale seems to be canada & us only?

Yeah, it definitely is! It was my first time participating in this kind of jam, and the huge amount of submissions really surprised me. I hope this is going to be a regular thing :D

I played the demo for this game yesterday, and the art- and sound direction are really great! It feels kind of Ace Attorney-esque, especially the sprites. The plot is solid, but I think the writing/translation could need more polish. Also, I don’t really vibe with the protag, but other players might like her more.

When Emilia fought Regulus I was just as hyped as Subaru lmao

I’ve been looking forward to this ep and it didn’t dissappoint!

Sidenote but I really like that the envoys seem to be from the in-universe equivalent of the ottoman empire. One of them even speaks some Turkish. You don’t see this kind of representation often in anime (The only example I can think of is Shoukoku no Altair)

The fight was epic for sure but I was kind of disappointed about Cha Hae-In’s introduction. All that setup in the episodes before just for her to not really do anything and immediately develop a crush on him? I had personally hoped for a more direct confrontation and a slow-burn love story :/

I’m also really curious how this whole thing is going to develop power-scaling-wise. He has just now been discovered by the public but is almost certainly already far stronger than most of the S-rank hunters we know so far.

I watched up until the latest episode. It did not improve and kind of got worse in a way?

The only reason I even watched so far was to see how this train-wreck of a story continues, but I’ve had my fill now and will drop it.

thank you! 😄 My long term goal is not only build up a vndev community on the threadiverse, but to encourage users from the microblog side to post on here as well. Let’s see how that goes… Not many users makes use of that feature, even though that’s one of the main advantages of the fediverse
