Promoting BL/Yaoi/BxB Games!

#1 Post by Cidz »

So we are running a blog called EnglishYaoiGames on Tumblr that's meant to share informations regarding games in the English language, like available translations for Japanese games and OELVN (Original English-Language Visual Novels) releases.

Since this blog gathered quite lot of followers, we decided to use our popularity to help BL-game developers promoting their games by posting in a tag called #EBLG (English BL Game) we are tracking; hence we'll be sure to find it and reblog so all our followers can see it.
If you are a game dev, you can find infos about how to be promoted here, and the concerned tag is here.
Non-game developers can post here as well is they want to contribute, we'll, however, reblog their post with different tags to differentiate game devs and tier persons.

I know there are a few BL/yaoi/BxB/yaoi option games on lemmasoft, this is open to both 18+ and all-ages games. (also, not limited to just Visual Novels any type of game is acceptable)

Hopefully more people will be encouraged to make BL games. It's already starting, slowly...

Edit: if you don't have a tumblr, that's ok you can always post about it here and we can still make a post about it and promote it.

I have a tumblr account, but now tumblr doesn't display properly because...long story short: Windows 8. 1 + slowed down media + futile attempt to get media running again = sad tumblr. :( I will, however, ask to have my BxB project (Rainbow Love) featured on there to advertise it; however, it is still a work in progress and a demo won't be released for a while yet, so just have it up there to let people know it exists, and possibly also show at least the logo. It's technically all-ages, though I'd recommend it more for ages 13 and up.

@ Caveat - thank you! We made an entry and it's currently on queue. WIPs are perfectly acceptable.

@ Lesleigh - thank you! I'll be sure and make an entry and add it to the queue as well. And it sure does meet our requirements, as long as it has at least BL elements it's ok.

Ooh, very nice! Following now. :) I think I'll have fun rummaging around.

More likely than not, any VN I happen to make will fall into the BL/Yaoi category. Well, there is one plot in mind that wouldn't, but still. I'll definitely keep this in mind.

Oh, this is interesting. Do you know of any similar sites for GL/Yuri/GxG games?

Build the basics first, then add all the fun bits.

Please check out my games on my itch.io page!

I don't know of one that specific towards just yuri/gxg however english otome games has a list of many yuri/GxG/female option games.

@ Talross - great! if you ever make any feel free to let us know on here or tumblr.

BL is short for Boy's Love, which is a romantic relationship between two(not sure if limited to only two) boys who are sexually attracted to each other.

(whoosh this is an old thread)

Super old, wow. cx

I could be wrong, but I think that it doesn't necessarily have to be both a sexual and romantic attraction - I think just having one or the other qualifies for BL. I could be completely wrong, though, terms are super confusing. cx

And I'm like 95% sure it's not limited to only two boys. Or at least I hope not, I'd be completely okay with a polyamorous dude and his harem of guys.
