Hi all!
I wanted to share with you my second game 'VIDEOVERSE' which has just launched on Steam, itch.io and Humble. My first game was One Night Stand, which started as a Nanoreno project. In comparison, VIDEOVERSE is much longer (and took a lot longer to make!), has a pixel art style and takes place in old school gaming forums. It's been made in Renpy with the help of DragoonHP (thank you!). I hope you will check it out
DESCRIPTION
Relive the days of past social gaming networks in VIDEOVERSE, a decision-based narrative adventure focusing on character development, friendship and love, from the developer behind One Night Stand.
As Emmett, a young video game fan and aspiring artist, dive into this fictional video game era, where the Kinmoku Shark gaming system and its online social network, Videoverse, were still popular. Strengthen Emmett’s friendships, share fan art and browse the lively gaming communities. Make decisions that will change how Emmett grows, his approach to Videoverse and, ultimately, the final outcome!
Will your actions help Videoverse thrive, or will you get caught up in teenage drama, video game fandoms and corporate conspiracies?
