Reminder that the #anythingJam @atjscreams and me are hosting on #itchio starts on Thursday!

itch.io/jam/glitch-gfx-jam

It is a jam focusing on using graphics from the (defunct and open sourced) game Glitch!

Beginner friendly and there's resources listed for easy ways to make your #game or #zine or #music single or whatever!

It is a whole month long so lots of time to make a little thing even :D

@kinmoku
But to me it always kind of feels like part of the joke is "imagine if we made one of these games for perverts and girls, wouldn't that be hilariously _cringe_? I am glad we make Real Games in this studio."

It feels like as if writers published that kind of stereotypical terrible fan fiction for April Fools. It doesn't feel like a love letter, it feels like a mockery.

@kinmoku I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feels icky about all those April Fools' Day gaming things being visual novels.

I can definitely see the reason they do it. After all VNs are super cheap to make and don't take any serious development resources away from their major projects. They're at most taking artists and writers half a week each, no programmers required.

Fini Gensou Suikogaiden vol.2 (la fantraduction anglaise encore une fois).

Pour moi, c'est moins fandisc et c'est un peu plus intéressant que le précédent volume (cela dit, les fans auront leur dose de personnages de #Suikoden2).

Car on se concentre surtout sur la conclusion de l'histoire personnelle de Nash (ça se suit bien mais ce n'est pas follement original...à un point près). Ajoutons à cela une vague mais nécessaire introduction au "lore" de #Suikoden3 (Flame Champion, système de castes, luttes de pouvoir en Harmonia).

7,25/10

Added a characters profile for @hanakogames.bsky.social's co-protags of the Night Cascades #visualnovel. This #VN is a mix of investigation, and sapphic (yuri) romance. This first half of the article discusses the alt-1980s setting, part of the characters' past, and the #TTRPG stats of one protag.

Night Cascades game characters...

Fini Gensou Suikogaiden vol.1 (la fantraduction anglaise bien entendu).

Ce n'est pas parfait ou particulièrement indispensable. Mais ce fut un plaisir de retrouver Nash (un personnage important et intéressant dans #Suikoden3).

Et puis le chapitre de Sierra ou la partie Elza (un bout d'un autre chapitre) sont cools.

7/10. Pas plus. C'est vraiment pour les fans. Particulièrement pour les fanatiques de #Suikoden2 😉
