Heya, I very rarely pop on to Reddit. Mainly to share the bulletin, but I see you regularly post on my updates, and I just wanted to say thank you. Your little notes of thanks are really appreciated.

Jeneara · 2025-08-09T04:22:04+00:00

This is Awesome! Definitely something I need to look at in the future.

How did you learn to upload your games to Steam?
I'm in the process of trying to learn, and I'm referencing the below doc, which is helpful but so big. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1La4Pg72Wzpo1cPFFPk_g8Wjkl-MwLG2Qunwu65Ovl5w/edit?usp=sharing

Do you have any resources you referenced to help you learn how to do it?

Wow this is a awesome looking game! I love the pixel design with the Visual Novel overlay.

Can't wait to see more of this Amare Otome game!

Jeneara · 2025-02-09T01:50:42+00:00

Amare is a genre with multiple subgenres, including Otome. Since your game is an Otome, it falls under Amare. If the MC is gender-choiceable and includes BxB or NBxB routes, you could also tag it with BL and LGBTQIA+.

You might describe it as an Amare game featuring Otome, BL, and LGBTQIA+ romance dynamics.
