Hi! I'm Cera, a.k.a. Ani from Anigrams Productions, a professional software engineer and hobbyist game designer. I like to play story-driven games (like visual novels) and sometimes make my own. 😊

I feel like devs would feel more comfortable "marketing" their games if they realized it's just *talking*. you're literally just finding ways to communicate with others about your game. how do you explain the game to them? what key art best represents it? are there any events it'd fit in? that's it

If you are an artist, writer or composer in #vndev, please verify the capability of your programmer, especially if they are using a non-VN game engine such as Unity/Godot!
Check their Itch page for what they've made with the engine OR (1/3)

Games Done Queer is streaming all weekend.

www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
GDQ's upcoming event, Games Done Queer, has already become a fierce rallying cry of support for LGBT rights in the US: 'We had 450 hours of content submitted for the 36-hour show'
"We're here, we're bigger than you think we are, and we can band together when it's important."

To anyone who might need to hear this right now:

Remember that even if only ONE person enjoys the content that you create—YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL.

Don't get lost in the numbers. Just create what makes you happy. Someone out there is going to LOVE what you make!

And a little is a lot if it's enough.

A number of people asked me about my VN's background art at a recent playtesting event, so I wrote a post about my process!

It's more of an overview than a tutorial but I hope it's helpful!

Someone shared this in a community I'm in and now I'm passing it along. As an autistic software engineer, how dare this game (er, "simulation") describe my life with such painful accuracy? 😭
