@Ensukine SO true. I have heard that "everyone has a novel inside of them." Can that novel be, say, VISUAL? 😉 But yes, people expressing themselves creatively is peak humanity. Absolutely love that you've come to that belief through otome!! Aaah!

@marooninkstudio The creative brain is so important 🥺 I think art is the core of every person, and otome was just another facet I learned that through.

It's so crazy to me that people find VNs boring, they're the game most likely to have me gasping or crying or giggling

@Ensukine Right? These writers are phenomenal 😍

@marooninkstudio AUGH TELL ME ABOUT IT!! 😭😭 I had to read it thrice because I was just like *wow* now that's a good line.

°•☆ Genso Manège thread with the tag #GensEns Really enamored with the idea of an amusement park romance 🤍 I'm loving the storybook aesthetic and vibrant colors, too. Can't wait to see what this one offers.

It's sort of crazy how much of my world views and personality has been shaped by otome......

@Ensukine The way I gasped aloud at the last line... "An ideal man wouldn't strive to reach your ideals" RUINED ME 😭😭😭

Oh, okay...... this is kinda cute #GensEns

Hello #otometwt! My name is Ensukie, but you can just call me Ens. Otome means so much to me, so I'm really happy to be here; let's be friends! On top of otome, I'll play almost anything. I both read manga and watch anime. I'm learning more about seiyus! ♡ Have a good day! ♡

A word made up by hopeful women and redefined by greedy men will not ever be a justification for attacking anyone.

@Lune_miekoo Just a 35 min plien airpril I did today! Still staying strong with the challenge of painting Enviornments ever day 😭 ♥️ #artmoots #smallartist x.com/i/status/20443…

I remember a movie with the cartoon characters where (spoiler for an IP old enough to retire at 65) Pebbles got pregnant with Bam Bam as the doting father. She eventually had twins, a boy and a girl, who looked like their kid designs, of course, but the meat of the movie was Fred's midlife crisis as he came to terms with being a grandfather. The 90s were WILD, man!

@marooninkstudio the nostalgia...... i need to watch the 1994 flintstones movie now!

This indie dev is making a handyman simulator set in the stone age where you literally help cavemen. - Use a dinosaur to mow lawns & move heavy loads - Open-world repair contracts - Upgrade your home & workshop Would you play this? It's called Primal Repairs.

@Ensukine What I like most is when the FMC "shames [them] into behaving." 😏 Gameplay from Nozomu School Daze, still in development, so everything is a placeholder, but here's a bit of the script! Makes me laugh, so hope it does the same for you ♥️😂

LIs being friends is great, but sometimes I like it when they're mean to each other and actively sabotage the other

@IndieGameJoe Ooooh, I see... One of those games that harkens the inevitability of death, and you can see how long you can survive... Color me intrigued. 👀

@marooninkstudio i think you just have to keep surviving; "Arctic Drive is a first-person co-op driving survival game set on a frozen, procedurally generated Arctic environment."

These indie devs are making a co-op survival road trip game where every scavenged item is a physical object you have to cram into the back of your truck. - One bad bump & it all flies out - Scavenge fuel & food - Upgrade your truck It's called Arctic Drive. Would you play this?

It's okay if your favorite otome doesn't have the best written LIs. Or the most compelling story. Or hell, even the best art. What matters is that it means something to you and it's important to treasure that

@Ensukine YES! Say it louder for the players in the back!! 👏👏👏 What makes a game great is how it makes the players FEEL, not the writing or design. If we can bring the player on an emotional journey, then we're winning and so are they. ♥️
