“Browsing more of the top NaNoRenO2025 entries and it's reminding me why I really don't read the OELVN genre that often: something like seven games out of every ten you find will just turn out to be this picture, hammered into prose by someone who clearly doesn't like words."

There, better

You need to know that this is a line of dialogue from the single most popular VN in the entirety of NaNoRenO2025 and it is NOT an outlier

I'm browsing more of the top NaNoRenO2025 and looking through the top entries is reminding me why one of the reasons I really don't read the OELVN genre that often is because something like seven games out of every ten you find is just this picture, made into prose by someone who doesn't like words

I'm gonna check out another NaNoRenO2025 release this morning. This one is CAFE OF THE DEAD, and it gradually made it to #2 in popularity out of 187. It appears to be some kind of gay furry zombie apocalypse game.

22000 words and multiple endings is promising!

One more NaNoRenO2025 game for tonight, let's see how far I get in this one. It's called "Blight Born," and it's currently on the top row, and I'm pretty sure it's some kind of sci fi het romance, judging by this art design and the whole "young scientist on the verge of discovering a cure" conceit

If you haven’t read our post-mortem yet, here it is.

It’s not technical. It’s about the invisible side of creation.

About doubt. And impulse. And why we do this.

We wrote it with complete honesty. Maybe it will find the right reader.

Sometimes you don’t know what a game really means…
until someone tells you it made them feel better.

This Friday, we’re sharing the post-mortem of A Day at the Lake.
It’s not about code.
It’s about what it costs to create from the heart.

🐻🐨 Tomorrow, we talk.

Quick post-mortem for the #nanoreno2025 submission I did:

It was my very first attempt at a VN. I had a lot of plans to expand more on player choice - but since I'm so new at #renpy it had to be cut.

Overall I quite liked it, and fell in love with my LI Xenin. It was great to see them come alive.

Let's look at another three NaNoRenO2025 submissions today, starting with this one, which is pretty high on submission popularity and has a really pretty itch thumbnail (there has got to be a better word for these Itch graphics than "thumbnail", they're like the size of half a playing card).

💫ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT🔍

Super honoured to announce that I'm the voice of MARGOT in the #NaNoRenO2025 project, DERELICT DELVERS!

I love this character, and getting the chance to help bring her to life has been wonderful.
