doing some gamedev with renpy
Interests: FFXIV and games in general, art, anime, and books
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)!
When I saw this, I immediately sent the link to a gamedev I know who has a disability. They were really excited 🥰
we discussed this over in [email protected] 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.
It’s a section at the bottom of the steam store page:
Code is also part of Steam’s required AI disclosure form , so I think it should be filtered as well
thank you! 😄 My long term goal is not only build up a vndev community on the threadiverse, but to encourage users from the microblog side to post on here as well. Let’s see how that goes… Not many users makes use of that feature, even though that’s one of the main advantages of the fediverse
Thanks for the tip, I’ve cross-posted the thread^^
Here’s the banner I posted in the original thread, it’s a screenshot from steamdb of games with at least 100k reviews and a user rating of at least 89 with the details of each card omitted:
I agree 100%, both look super ugly
As an alternative, there are tons of gamepad icons on freepik like this one that could be used as long as theres an attribution link in the community description.
Also here’s a quick collage I screenshotted from steamdb, feel free to use it if there aren’t any better ones by others:
Infinity Nikki! It’s probably my new favourite dress up game (dethroning FFXIV)
I already tried them out and made starter packs for Visual Novel developers and artists I like. I got a 500 error a few times while trying to add a user to a starter pack, but apart from that it works pretty well. Wish there were better filtering options for the search though.
To paraphrase my opinion from back then:
I see, I hadn’t considered that some of the mechanics would be harder for mobile players 🤔 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 😔 had this especially when fighting

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