Cursed Sight by Invertmouse is about to hit Steam; I would recommend reviewing it when it comes out. I reviewed my Kickstarter copy and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just some major updates guys! While the main draw of my site is reviews, I've opened up a database section and am currently accepting visual novel submissions into this database up until August 19th.

This is a great opportunity that only comes once a month, and allows for a more thorough search for particular visual novels - Genre, Price, Length, and so on.

Just add your game here:
http://bluebirdplays.com/submit-your-visual-novel/

This also acts as a submission form for a review and/or other content of your visual novel.

I hope you guys enjoy this, and you can see what the database looks like from here:
http://bluebirdplays.com/database

NOTE:
Submissions I've already received will automatically be added into the database and don't count into the 2-game limit. I'm working on uploading them all over the weekend :)

ALSO IMPORTANT
Earlier reviews have had their links changed to bluebirdplays.com/gamename - This is to make it easier for everyone to simply link to the review at any time.

Any questions, let me know!

@Godman85 - Definitely interested! Feel free to submit your VN so I can check it out!
@somestrangecircus - I actually just bought it a couple days ago! I'm so excited for this one ^_^

Today is the LAST day I'm taking Visual Novel Submissions this month!

What does this mean?

It means that any content I make until I open submissions again will be centered around these novels specifically, give or take a few that I handpick myself.

I accept:
* Game Jam Games
* Free or Commercial Completed Visual Novels
* Free or Commercial Demos of Visual Novels (Demos automatically get a Let's Play rather than a review)

Visual Novel Submissions enjoy placement on my database and an immediate redirect to their game, up until the point that I create either a review, a let's play, or something else. They shall remain there forevers and forevers, so you never know! It might just boost the amount of attention to your game!

Again, submissions close TODAY AT 11:59 PM EST. You can submit your visual novel at http://bluebirdplays.com

The Game Giveaway also ends TODAY at 11:59 EST, so get those entries in if you want a chance at winning the visual novel "Cursed Sight" by InvertMouse. http://bluebirdplays.com/giveaway

ALSO I'll be streaming Cursed Sight today at 7pm EST at http://twitch.tv/ambushedgamer - So if you want to know what the game is about, feel free to check me out there ^_^

Hey guys! The bird's been busy, but the website in itself has had a huuuge makeover.

I'm also accepting new visual novels into the database now. Simply fill out this form:
http://goo.gl/forms/HGK3NGgxlN

All visual novels now get their own hub area like so:
http://bluebirdplays.com/icebound/

They have a review area, and relevant tags to help people who might be looking for a specific type of game to play- find just what they're looking for.

If there are any questions, please let me know!

PS- You can also look at all the games I've added so far over at this linky here:
http://bluebirdplays.com/hubs/all/

I like the site layout. With the genre tags and everything, it's easy to browse.

If you don't mind, I do have one suggestion. It took me a while to realize there was a "Review" button on the top right of each game's hub. I'm on a laptop, but I think particularly for new mobile viewers, the smallish "Review" button might be overlooked. Or maybe it would be more noticeable in a different location?

Anyway, it's cool to see another dedicated VN site!

Thanks a lot for the feedback ^_^

I'll see what I can do about changing the way the site looks on mobile. Not being too coordinated with website design though could factor in on that though! I may go ahead and just make a page that includes all the reviews I've made, that way people can look to those immediately if they don't want to look at a hub, and then find the review link from there.

I'll be adding 5 more visual novels today, so keep checking back folks!

Also follow my twitter for the most up-to-date info on website stuffs!
