There's already !adventuregames@lemm.ee for this, they explicitly include interactive fiction in their list of allowed content.

Yeah I was thinking about that, too! We just need to decide what to use ๐Ÿ˜… Maybe we could ask the community which characters they would like to see on our banner/avatar?

webrings are so cool

full disclosure !webrevival@lemm.ee taught me about webrings in general (they did not bring me this specific yuri webring) and it's wild having come across one outside of there, gives me hope for more random folks hosting websites about their interests again

[โ€“] Berin@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OK, in that case I'd be willing to take over if you agree to help out!

I'm not completely opposed to the idea, but I play a limited range of VNs (mainly mystery VNs and romance VNs aimed at women) despite sharing lots of news about all kinds of them^^ Having a second mod with a different perspective would help a lot with community-building I think, especially since this community was intended to serve a similar audience as the r/visualnovels subreddit, which seems to mostly like galge?

 

I tried reaching the mod a week ago to update this community's sidebar, but they haven't answered, and apparently haven't been active/posted anything in half a year. Do we need to contact the ani.social admins to find a new one? (any volunteers?)

//my first impression was that this is an age-gap romance, but after looking up some info, the guy is actually way, way younger than he looks

might give this a try

... Judging by the tags, premise and overall vibes I doubt how "friendly" this lab is going to be, but I'm kind of intrigued tbh

I only found one review/guide on this, and apparently this was originally a mobile game. Also, there's an interesting mechanic where you only influence the story by presenting items to the main characters? It looks like some kind of pet simulation ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] Berin@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I see, I hadn't considered that some of the mechanics would be harder for mobile players ๐Ÿค” The main reason for my complaint is that the fights feel way too short if you play them perfectly, you don't even get to listen to the entire soundtrack once when the boss goes down ๐Ÿ˜” had this especially when fighting

spoilerChigda. The soundtrack is incredible, but he goes down before you've even seen all the mechanics.

I honestly didn't realize how much I've been missing a proper AAA girly game on PC until I played infinikki. I'd been using FFXIV to scratch that fashion itch until then, but a proper dress-up game is just better :,) Also I will go out and say the puzzle design and encounter design is so much more interesting than that of comparable titles such as genshin impact (I just wish the fights were harder)!

I need more people to play otDevil so we can talk about it _(:3ใ€โˆ )_

[โ€“] Berin@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

When I saw this, I immediately sent the link to a gamedev I know who has a disability. They were really excited ๐Ÿฅฐ

we discussed this over in !otomegames@ani.social back when it was initially announced! The fandom seems to be delighted about this feature, but I'm personally more concerned about the data privacy aspect of it all...the author is absolutely right to look at this whole thing with scepticism

I find it a little far-fetched to solely link the popularity of otome games to some kind of frustration with modern dating, though. Romance games (and romance in games, e.g. Baldur's Gate 3 or Mass Effect) offer a lot of fun in-and-of themselves.
