The demo of my slice-of-life visual novel set in 1920s Paris releases on October 16th on Steam, just in time for Steam Next Fest!

It will be a limited time thing; I'll disable it after the end of the event, so make sure to try it out if you're interested. The full game will be free as well and is almost finished, so I hope you'll look forward to it too!

I hope you will enjoy your time with Olivier and his friends!

(Pour les francophones qui passent par là : la démo est dispo en français aussi ! En vrai c'est la langue originale du jeu héhé)

>192X. As summer draws near, Parisian students are revising their end-of-year exams. Olivier is one of them. For years, he has been walking to school every morning with his dearest childhood friend, and has unwound with his artistic peers after class. In a week, this routine will come to a close. And recent revelations already threaten Olivier’s comfortable life.

hoping thisll be the last post ill have to make on this i dont know why it has made me struggle so much. 💔

i know that isnt how the day and shuffle should go but in but im unsure where else to put them to show what i want them to do, basically the next button is meant to shuffle the quests and add a day to the counter, it also needs to reset the quests if completed

id prefer if it also jumped to a different label so i can have a next day scene pop up but honestly so long as it works thats something that it can go without

any help appreciated 💔

Sooo… back in 2022/2023, I posted here about my very first dating VN demo and how much the male leads’ designs kept changing. That post got way more attention than I ever expected - and honestly, your encouragement pushed me to keep going! :)

Fast forward through these years...

• 250+ ratings on Itch.io
• Funded on Kickstarter
• Working on this game nearly everyday...
• Full Steam release coming on November 26th!

Now, the game is a 15+ hour time-travel mystery romance with 100+ original illustrations - all built inside Ren’Py (I love this engine so much!).

I’m so excited to finally share this with you all! You can check out the Steam page to see how the rest of the cast turned out.

I’d love to answer any questions in the comments about game art, solo dev, Ren’Py tricks, or visual novel development in general! 💗

❗️ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THIS PROJECT ARE +18❗️

Greetings! I'm FreddyKun! And I'm developing, with the help of an artist, an adult BL visual novel about an exhibitionist gothic femboy.

I posted on this subreddit a while ago, and fortunately, development has been going very well! I appreciate all the comments you left me back then <3

(This is the post in question: Starting the Development of a NSFW Femboy Visual Novel)

I just released a demo of the game today, but I don't want to talk about it since it's currently exclusive to Patreons, and this isn't the place to promote it.

Instead, I wanted to show the animated menu of my game! And I wanted to know what feedback you have on it.

To be 100% honest, I must admit that aside from design and animations, I used Chat GPT Plus for some more complex elements (parallax scrolling, outline effects, etc.), mainly for pretty details.

I wanted to know your opinion on the menu, and what you would change!

Looking forward to your replies <3

Do you like Yume, Aoi, Ichika, Rina, or Mufu-chan?

I'd love to see your fan art, memes, animations, character headcanons, and theories about Starlight Academy: Curse! 🌙 You don't need to be a professional artist. Have fun, be creative, and make something of your own!

If you create something, feel free to tag me so I can see it! Please credit the original game and respect other artists' work. 💕

I published my game for the Spooktober 2026 jam a few weeks ago. 
I’ve started seeing a lot of people installing it, reaching 16 downloads so far, which is already a huge number for me.
I’ve also received some positive comments, few, but good ones. And today, when I logged back into itch.io, I noticed that a user had made a $5 donation for my game,  Eddie: someone is watching.
Thank you very much for your feedback, and I invite you to send me more so I can understand how to improve the game in the future.
A special thank you goes to the user who decided to buy the game. I never thought I’d be able to pull it off.

As soon as the jam is over, I’ll be able to go back to working on and publishing updates to move the story forward.

First off, my English is terrible; I’m a native Brazilian who only speaks Portuguese fluently. These spoilers are from my game "Dmn ReBoot," a reboot of my old game called "Protocolo DMN” on Itch.io.
I started playing games with interesting narratives and plots that really surprised me, and I developed an interest in visual novels. I hope my game gains some traction when it comes out
thanks for reading!

So I'm trying to launch the visual studio code and it shows this, there is also update button beneath the visual studio code and I tried pressing on that but it just shows the same error, anyone knows what to do? It's my first time using Ren'py and I don't know what's happening

I'm tired of just the expressions alone but I need to know, do they look good just like this?

I am very much a hard beginner at Renpy, so apologies if this happens to be something simple

I'm trying to make a day counter in the top right of the screen that keeps track of the calendar date and the day number for May 23rd, May 30th, the full month of June (where the game takes place), and July 1st.

What I'm thinking is making the date and time as text on screen and the UI separate

The visual novel is linear and does not have anything like day-dependent events so I want some sort of trigger to manually switch the day number to the next day in the script

I tried researching this but unfortunately I couldn't understand them (they have things that seem to affect dating sims, such as time of day, weather, or choice-based time progression)

Also I'm not entirely sure where in the script to specify this system

If someone could help me, that would be appreciated

We ran out of time and had to split it into two parts, but PART II will be coming on Halloween.

Thanks for looking :)

I've made a few minor script updates to Ep.1 content in both versions. It shouldn't happen, but let me know if anything's messed up by the update.

i have an inventory system that lets you give and get items and id like to have a little popup in the corner that tells you when you have received the item when you aren't explicitly told in a scene via dialogue, its not showing me any error messages but nothing is showing up, ive read through a few posts with issues with the notifications and i haven't found any explaining what might be wrong here any help appreciated

The game is called Cianalas, and will be a Scottish visual novel dealing with the topics of mental health and depression. It's inspired from my own experiences, as I like many people have struggled with severe mental health problems. I was lucky enough to recover, and I'd like to share what I felt/learned with some other people who may be in the same position.

I'm the sole writer and programmer, but I've had a lot of help from freelancing artists who've really brought the story to life.

I'm planning on releasing it in December 2026 and can't wait to share more details soon!
