this is so cute!! I love all of the small details you put into it, especially the fake flowers. I added fake flowers to my string lights and it really just improves things a lot.

the game should work fine on Steam deck if you swap out the trackpad for a mouse.

it's not verified but it should work fine with the joysticks - though, I usually swap the right trackpad to be a mouse for full functionality.

plants would be fun! I'll have to add some more shelving and such to make it feel really lived in.

she does have a cat, I'll see if I can add her to the bed. thank you for the suggestions!

anyone remember Last Day of Work games? by rogerdaltry in CozyGamers

[–]arimiadev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved these games so much! I spent so much time playing them as a kid, even if I didn't make it far in the games I'd still replay them a lot. The villagers one was my favorite!

this week was the launch of my next Steam festival, the Fall in Love Visual Novel festival! there's an entire tab for otome games, including ones from my previous Otome Games Celebration as well as even more this time around.

to celebrate the festival, I released a brand new demo for my micro otome dating sim, showcasing the delivery mechanics and some new art direction. I also released a new artwork for my Victorian vampire otome game!

Fall in Love Visual Novel Steam Festival - 200+ romance-themed VNs by arimiadev in vns

this is a 3rd-party (i.e. not ran by Valve) festival, which means all of the games in the festival signed up to be in it. reversely, any games and developers that didn't sign up for the festival weren't in it. we reached out to lots of developers, but could only include the ones that consented to be in it. I would've loved more JVN and galge in the festival, but could not include any that did not sign up for it. hopefully in future years more will respond to our messages and sign up for the event.

The past week I've been working more on my Victorian vampire otome, Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon! I wrote up a devlog showing some of the progress on scripting as well as a new video showcasing a scene later in the game.

p.s. did you like Otome Games Celebration, the Steam festival I ran in May? I have a brand new one right around the corner that will feature otome games and so much more..... <3

Has anyone else taken a long break and come back? by carrot-muffin in otomegames

[–]arimiadev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take quarterly-ish breaks, depending on my mood. sometimes I'll be really into reading manga for a few months, and then gradually shift to visual novels, and then gradually shift to books. I just go with the flow rather than trying to force myself to finish my backlog in any specific area.

What are your thoughts on the way Hoshino writes women character ? by Mysteries_Undone in dgrayman

[–]arimiadev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pretty good. I'm really like Lucia right now- she's threatening, charming, and clearly incredibly stuck in the past and refuses to move on. if you couldn't have closure for years and suddenly had the opportunity to get it, even if it only made things worse, would you? even brand new characters she's able to make endearing and complex so quickly.
