a huge benefit to being an educator now instead of a programmer is that i never have to do a live coding interview ever again

I need Android users to help test 'are we good? 🙈' so I can get it approved for a public beta on Google Play!

Please DM me your email address if you're interested :)

(I also have an iOS & Windows build... 👀)

I think the distinction of how heavy the puzzle solving & exploration is makes a big difference! my game is much more like the latter

also i haven’t played Hooked, I’ll have to check that out!

the more i’ve discussed this the more blurry the lines seems to me. but i agree, the images don’t really drive my game which makes it seem not like a VN to me

are narrative games that take place on simulated phones/ social media point-and-click adventure games or visual novels??? i think they’re point-and-clicks but all of my friends say VN

I'm SUPER behind on the indie games scene, what are your favorite releases from the last year? Especially anything narrative-focused

I'm sooooooo close to being done with this indie game I've been working on since 2019. It's about helping your weird suspicious internet bff solve a boyband mystery
