No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES!
Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Apropos of an article that's been making the rounds: I've realized I want to support and be surrounded by more visual novel devs—especially VN devs who specialize in 18+/eroge.
If that sounds like you, please drop a link to your game/s below. We're stronger together, so let's get a chain going!

Siren's Call: Second Wind – Coming Soon
A wedding where one of the guests arrives dead. A strange black hole eclipsing the Florida sun. And your best friend? Gone. Is all this a butterfly dream or is reality breaking? Is their story romance...

Watched this interview over the weekend; I was hanging on every word. Propulsive questions, nuanced answers, and absolutely riveting discussion all around from @speedynoelle.bsky.social and AnyButton2Start. Would recommend!
In happier news, I recently did an interview with AnyButton2Start about eroge and the current perception of it. If you enjoy hearing my thoughts about the genre as a whole and how we talk about sex in games, then you might get a kick out of it. youtu.be/mngXHPmZ8-o

It's #ScreenshotSaturday, so lemme show you what Autumn Rail WOULD have looked like had I kept Times New Roman as the in-game typeface.
Screenshots were taken of an earlier build and may not reflect the final product blah blah blah.
