Over 200 games are discounted until July 9th on the JAST storefront.

• All releases are DRM-Free
• Reminder that you can filter by Japanese support; 29 games with Japanese support are currently discounted

Includes a lot of nukige, but also some plot-focused ones like:

• Hanachirasu
• Aokana
• Flowers series
• Muramasa

It's a good thing Gurigura's not actually like this.

Where would I go about looking for banner images in these relative form factors for visual novels in general? My lutris screen looks pretty ugly right now and I'd like to pretty it up some.

Per https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/post/22200, I have gone and made a DokuWiki that we as a community can build together. I, unfortunately, know very little about what specifically I'm doing with wiki software, particularly when it comes to making things look pretty.

For now, the to-do list looks like:

• make sure others can sign up and contribute
• initialize visualnovels namespace with placeholder content
• pull in / rewrite content suggested in https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/comment/92413

I look forward to working together with all of you!

What steps, if any, do you guys take on the linux distribution of your choice to play visual novels?

I, personally, set the following in my .bashrc

alias vn='env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine start '

so I can just type vn gameExecutable.exe and usually just have the game work.

For the games I've had for a while, I have .desktop entries in my $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications directory with more specific commands as needed.

If you guys have any other tricks up your sleeves, please feel free to share them here.

For me, Yume Miru Kusuri was my first visual novel. I don't even remember why I played it, but I liked it so much that I'm here forever now.

What realistic options do we have for making a copy of this wiki here on lemmy? Am I going to have to spin up a DokiWiki? Repurpose my WordPress blog to post some of these articles? I'm open to suggestions, too.
