I'm creating this thread for the express purpose of locaitng tbe anon who was making this indie death game visual novel inspired by zero escape/YTTD with a faceless MC who posted picrel a few months back, I think around November.

I want to know if you're still alive, if you're still working on this and if possible your socials as well. Your art looks great and unique compared to the wide majority of WEGs and I'd like to know if this VN project will come to fruition.

These are supposedly all of the participants.

No WEG games ever come to fruition from just preview images. Even games that release demos rarely finish.

>>717078980
I'm not, I'm just curious and love this type of game. I'll shill for another short death game VN gem, Yet Another Killing Game
>>717079152
I know this all too well but who knows. I hope anon sees this thread

Meant EVNs btw
>>717079451
I used to think like that too but Tyrion Cuthbert, Of The Devil and YAKG made me change my perspective on western creations lately
>>717079619
Thanks that's actually a great idea

buy an ad

why are autistic "people" so awful at lying? we need to slaughter them enmasse

>>717078540 (OP)
>>717078871
I'm curious as well.

>YTTD
Will it ever be finished?

>>717078871
The females are a little too thicc and oversexualized. Tone it down a little and they'd look perfect. Right now they look like the artist was overreacting to the anti sexy sentiment in modern games, or maybe trying to appeal to twitterfags. The bodytype looks eerily close to goonslop those patreon farmers draw and post on twitter all day.

>>717078540 (OP)
Imagine resting your head on these

>>717078871
Damn it's crazy how much better the /v/ gamedev threads were in 2024 than right now, what the fuck happened to make them so horrible in 2025?

>>717080209
Of course not. I also think valve's "days since last update" on the steam page is a hilarious idea.
>>717080392
>characters can't be hot because... I said so
TV thighs are a little big but the VITAE just looks like the average whore which is probably what he was going for with that outfit

>>717080656
Diaper Dinosaur literally drove all the devs out to the /agdg/ discord

>>717080670
It's a matter of personal taste I just prefer them thinner. It's getting tiresome to see the exact same bodytype drawn every single time. The blue haired girl is cuter than the two big women for me

>>717080753
I actually agree the blue haired girl is cutest. I do get annoyed when artists draw preexisting characters but give them the default porn body of massive tits and ass that's completely off model but in this case VITAE looks intentionally designed that way and TV is only a bit over the top in the thigh region but fine imo.

this thread is one guy (OP) replying to himself like a dozen times trying to advertise his "game"
bring back thread IP counts

>>717078540 (OP)
Threads like this reveal the inherent hypocrisy of /v/. Everyone will say "gameplay >graphics" but for your game to be remembered or have appeal it needs to be good looking enough or else no one will care. Just one pic and you have people interested over well edited trailers or deep combat system. That's the truth

>>717080920
I'm not retard. I just really love games, I mean books (vns aren't games) like these and try to keep track of interesting projects. Here's another short one I liked, even if it only has a demo and could definitely be polished more: Mahou Shoujo Escape

>>717080923
It's a thread about VNs or very light puzzle games, where the game part is mostly in your head. Artstyle (instead of graphics) play a major part. And you are wrong because popular titles like Higurashi or Tsukihime aren't exactly good looking but are still beloved by a lot of people.

>>717078871
dev needs to either make every girl look like vitae or make none of them look like vitae

good ad dev now draw her naked

>>717080109

good luck advertising a nameless game dumbfuck

>YTTD
>finished
lol, lmao

>>717078540 (OP)
well YTTD is never ever getting finished to i hope this picks up the slack

>>717078871
boobies

>>717078540 (OP)
>>717078871
idk about the game but I dig almost mobface + big booba design

if this isn't the dev marketing this is kinda cool

Have a bunch of mystery games, anon. Not all are death games but some are:

>>717083415
Thanks but you post this in almost all threads I am in. I already know about them. Whispering memories looks nice I guess. Maybe you'd like the Kumitantei demo

expectations for Dark Auction?

might as well use this thread as dumping ground for cool mystery VNs I am waiting for until the anon in question hopefully shows up
this is detective instinct: farewell my beloved, it only has a demo

>1 filtered post
probably that shillbot KEK

>>717083682
I don't play VNs based off visuals alone but thank you for the rec.

kinda similar to urban myth dissolution center

>>717083864
Never was a fan of the writing in the DS cing games, they were mostly carried by the art and atmosphere so my expectations, if any, are low. Also they censured the Hitler stuff

>>717083415
all those games and none of them are good

>>717088103
do not give him attention, he thrives on that

>>717088103
Plenty of great games.

>>717078871
is TV a guy or gal? Because if that's not a guy then I don't care
