| When the end goal is "get people to discuss all the games" rather than "pick the best game", any sort of winnowing is obviously counter-productive. I don't care about the winner, I care about the conversation, the prize is just to get people to participate. I also argue that any ... |

And as I explained many times, I strongly object to the concept of a 'panel of judges', so I guess that's that. Oh well.  |

| ... uh, basically, is there sufficient interest in doing the "make a VN with limited shared resources" contest a second time? It wouldn't be for quite a while, but if we're going to do it again I'll need lead time to get graphics commissioned. If we go ahead with it, this contest would gen... |

| A lot of what's being discussed there isn't entirely relevant to the VN scene, especially the hobbyist VN scene. There's a big difference between someone setting out to write a romance game which is entirely about specific characters and their relationships (including the sex appeal element) and som... |

| I'm working on one, but it'll be commercial. But surely I can't be the only developer who thinks there needs to be more GxG that isn't "gratuitous" so to speak? There are/were several in progress announced at some point, it's just that the completion rate for GxG projects has been pretty ... |

| Many of the commercial games have GxG paths, although how many varies - generally one to three. There's not a lot that's pure GxG with multiple options at the moment other than Spirited Heart Girls Love. Try the demo of that and see how you like it? There's a free 18+ GxG game (Sugar's Delight) but ... |

I replaced the video a couple days ago, so the voice quality is slightly better now, I hope. 
I'm working on getting a proper trailer made but it'll be a while. |

| Big news on the ero-forums today - apparently a new official translator has rolled into town, bringing with it a very recent Japanese title. If My Heart Had Wings Looks pretty, although not really my kind of game. I'll probably go for it anyway just to have a better look at what more-modern games ar... |

Quote: For some reason otome players will always go for the jerk with a heart of gold, which boggles my y-chromosomed mind
Considering the immense popularity of tsunderes with male players, I don't see what your chromosomes have to do with failing to understand the appeal. It's a similar spectrum. |
