Bad Ritual Chapter 5: Warlock

Thank-you for your patience everyone: I didn't realise Easter was in March this year when I planned everything OTL. Chapter 5 for Bad Ritual is now available publically on itch. Have fun and let me know what you think!

No new features or anything this time around, the only change is:

Chapter 5 for both Tahira and Siruud

Honor Bound Chapter 5 update!

I’m pleased to share Honor Bound Chapter 5 today, on dashingdon and itchio! There are some minor changes and fixes here and there earlier, but you can skip to the start of Chapter 5 if you’d like.

If you have the time and energy, I always love to hear what you think, whether here or on the anonymous form - I read everything that comes through and often make edits to the demo and to later chapters based on player feedback as it’s incredibly helpful to hear how people are finding the choices and characters.

The demo is now around 227,000 words - just over 50,000 words added! Things you may encounter in this chapter:

drama among students, town, and families

locking gazes over a desk

holding someone’s hand very intensely

kisses, if you want them

a road trip

some really nice food

a breakup, if you play your cards right (or wrong)

Chapter 6 is also currently up for £6+ subscribers on Patreon!

OK I NEED GAMES RECOMANDATION

I started to play a date with death and despite enjoying it it just- dosen’t spark any specific interest for me.

And thing is i haven’t played a game that made me super interessed i a while now ??? Last ones that I really enjoyed were Project blue, Ama me (in cisis) and Interwine, which I played a good time ago now.

For now I’m playing where winter crows go and wait for the release of 14 dwy updates but i’m starving for a game that will activate any form of spark of interest like i used to-

Sooooo if you have any dating sim / visual novel to recommend i’m all hears-

Game Release Calendar Project

Hey hey! So, I'm working on a release calendar for upcoming games for my site, Blerdy Otome. I'd like to include indie games--indie otome, boys love vns, amare vns, etc. So I created a google doc for game devs to add their upcoming games to the list for upload to the calendar. Because of how the calendar is setup, I can only add games with concrete release dates, but if you have a tentative release date you can still add it to the spreadsheet and update it later.

Shares are greatly appreciated! I want to include as many games as I can!

happy trans day of visibility!!

if you're looking for a way to celebrate, might i suggest playing queer games by a queer gamedev? 😊

Bad Ritual Public Update

God what a time to be missing my banners ;; But okay, Bad Ritual technical update and rewrites are now live on itch !! These changes include:

new themes (dark and light, themed towards the characters)

new achievements screen

extended accessibility options

Tahira route rewrite

Siruud route rewrites (not as extensive)

texting interfaces instead of in-line texting

totally retooled character creation options

redone character profile page

I recommend starting a new game just to see all the changes, and also because the new chapter isn't finished yet 😂😂 That's on its way, but for now there's new content inside the old content and some new menus to explore. The new chapter is coming up next !!

Remember that you can subscribe to my Ko-fi for early access to updates, copies of certain games (right now you're guaranteed a fully copy of Manor Hill for donating and/or subscribing), and monthly drabbles at Employee of the Month tier !! There's currently three up portraying the Manor Hill LIs before attending the Harvest Festival, and next month there'll be a Hybrid themed drabble released !!

Reblogs are appreciated, as always. Anyway, have a happy december and new years 💚

Play Royal Affairs - Out Now!

Steam | Apple Store | Google Play Store | Browser | Amazon

As the middle child of the Queen of Westerlin, you’ve led a sheltered life in the palace, but now you must spread your wings and prepare for your royal responsibilities with a year at the exclusive Archambault Academy.

Everyone knows your name, everyone has an opinion on what you do, and everyone views you as the face of the new generation of royalty. Your every move is reported in the press, a word from you could make or break a teacher’s career–or the fate of the school itself. You’re being courted by every club and social group on campus; and there are countless students who would love to be in your orbit.

In luxurious armchairs behind ivy-covered walls, you and your fellow students debate political theory—but outside, real trouble simmers across the realm. There are activists fighting to open voting rights beyond the aristocracy, and you can use your influence to sway the government’s decision in either direction. Relations are growing increasingly uneasy with your country’s neighbors, and there are conspiracies around every corner. Why is your mother whispering behind closed doors with the Prime Minister? Have the leaders of the protests really disappeared? Which allies can you trust? There are some secrets that only your royal authority can uncover.

Will you honor centuries of royal tradition and follow the path that your mother the Queen has laid out for you? Or will you be a force of change, leading your country in a new direction as you break free of a lifetime of expectations?

Oh, and speaking of expectations—there’s also the foreign royal that your mother wants you to marry. Who is in your class. And who happens to hate you.

Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or bisexual; monogamous or polyamorous; asexual and/or aromantic.

Find love and/or friendship with your free-spirited childhood companion, a firebrand radical, a dreamy dancer, a financier haunted by tragedy, your devoted bodyguard, or a rival foreign royal.

Cuddle and train your pet: a horse, dog, or bird of prey.

Put on a lavish play, become a sports star, or run Student Council; and represent Archambault Academy against its rival Gallatin.

Become your classmates’ confidante and help them solve their problems—or make those problems worse.

Embrace your royal responsibility and carry on your mother’s tradition—and perhaps even take your sister’s place as heir to the throne.

Forge a path to the future by supporting revolutionaries’ calls for change, or stamp out the movement with scheming and deceit.

When this tumultuous year ends, will you be Archambault Academy’s crowning glory?

[breathlesswinds]

A second demo for Breathless Winds is now live on itch.io, made for the Amare Games Festival! This ‘preview demo’ features scenes from the main game centering on two out of the four love interests: Gallardia and Lantana.

Breathless Winds is an upcoming LGBT romantic visual novel set in an island-fantasy setting. After recovering from a painful incident, a closeted trans woman finds herself having to choose between returning to sailing with the help of her childhood friend, Gallardia, or signing up to work with Two Elk's resident healer and her own former bully, Lantana.

Today it's my birthday!

As a birthday gift, I wish for more recognition of indie amare/otome games so here is a list of game you can play and support!

My ten favorite finished amare game (choosing only ten was hard enough so there is no particular order in this list)

I hope you have a lovely time with them! There is so many great game out there, I wanted to make a much longer list, but I know that too much choice can be exhausting (and I am very late in my backlog).

“Winter break has come to Aradal. Unable to afford the journey back home, you brace yourself for a long snowfall alone at the Magic Academy, only to find you aren't the last student left on campus. What's more, among your newfound festive companions is the popular and typically unapproachable Prince Keldrannon - the last person you'd expect to stay.

What begins as a sad and solitary wintertide soon thaws into the promise of something far more precious. Warmth, friendship, perhaps even love.

A thoroughly merry and magical celebration may await you, after all.”
