A recent conversation has reminded me how much I hate the "Word of God", when a dev adds information about a character or plot outside of the actual game.
You can't expect others to stalk social media, so if it's not in the actual game, it's not canon to me.
Happy Lesbian Visibility Week to Cheri Rose and all the lovely sapphic women in the community! 🩷🤍🧡

Cover image from Bloom including, from left to right, Albion, Felix, Caelan, Astra, and Qwynn. Image at the bottom reads "The Power of Pride Itch.io Bundle 2026" Bloom's logo sits at he top right.
Bloom was accepted into this year's Power of Pride Bundle!
I'm so excited to have Bloom be a part of something that supports Queer creatives ❤️
THE COMMUNITY NOTES ARE WRONG made it into the Power of Pride bundle! This is so exciting.
Huge thanks to the staff member who played and approved the game, whoever they are!

FINAL KEY VISUAL REVEAL for #CapturedbytheWeddingVeil! 🌸💉At the age of 18, you're paired with a stranger to become a 'family'. Would you step into an Omegaverse-esque world of forbidden love and forced marriage? Crowdfund is live at Kofi, at 66%! #yurivn #visualnovel #otomevn
Those 3 games are incredibly popular even in the English visual novel fanbase so you can't even discount them as exceptions to the rule. (2/2)
I prefer the bishoujoge and eroge comm more and find them surprisingly more respectful and open to queer elements.
Female MCs and yuri are incredibly common. Dead End Aegis have both and it's my favourite bishoujoge.
Rance and School Days both have love interests who are cross-dressing men. (1/2)
And I am an indie game dev living in Australia who isn't bound by Japanese commercial game advertising conventions. I'm not even being paid! I can do what I want!
I had to compile a whole list because people said I was lying lol.
Even then they were like "they're the exception not the rule."
I honestly think they're jealous that we have the skill to make our own games.

Staging of Levi's route continues, and also improved the look of the Prefences menu!

I'm sorry you got caught up in the genre gatekeeping nonsense too. It's happening to many devs who aren't making a "traditional" otome game right now.
A lot of people are just using genre policing as an excuse to vent their bigotry publicly.
I'm also making an "otome and yuri" game myself!
Wahh thank you so much for your support! I'm happy you're excited!
Testing as we count down to the release on Steam 👀👀👀
Bought this steam deck in 2022 and never thought I'd get to test my own game on it! 🙈
Our game is Free, but every wishlist warms our hearts!💖⬇️

Thank you so much for streaming even though your power cut out!
I snuck in at a couple of points, undercover! I enjoyed the commentary during the Jae reveal the most. 😂
Wow my immersive, 4D effect worked?! *evil villain cackling*
LIVE 🟢 with The Community Notes are Wrong! On the Late Night Showcase!

Plus, I also go "what if the critique just sounds unfair to me and I'm just biased because I'm the creator?" There's that aspect too.
Sometimes I don't know whether to leave a critical comment up when it's blatantly untrue. 😅
I don't want to be the dev who silences people but I also don't want to let misinformation go around!
Screenshot of Cal from Bloom. The textbox at the bottom reads "We slip into another stream of silence. There's no rush, no tension, just a companionable quiet."
If you play COMMUNITY NOTES you'll probably only see Ayla's ex girlfriend Romy as her cheating and emotionally abusive ex, but in my head, Romy is much more complex than that.
Maybe I'll write a short prequel kinetic novel or side story about her.

The curse of being an indie game Dev, is that if you want people to try your game, you either need to be extremely annoying or somehow get other people to be extra annoying for you.
In either case, a lot of people are going to get annoyed.
I posted a new devlog details some of my thoughts about Bloom now that the game is almost finished! If you're interested in my little ramblings give it a read~
nightlightwrks.itch.io/bloom/devlog...
Honestly I think if you're gonna type up the phrase "invading women's spaces" at all you should rethink that. Regardless of intent.
A lot of y'all are way too damn comfortable using dogwhistles lol
