also this might be a little late but i read your thing on being an aromatic playing dating sims and ended up nodding and going "so true" the entire time. like yeah holy shit that's EXACTLY how i feel! my favourite otome games are those with a protag with her own personality, because the appeal is watching over the couple from a third party perspective, not trying to be the protag.

(this is how they ended up with like 30 ocs for the tokimeki memorial girls side series)

omg yeah! I'm glad to hear you can relate lol. I love love love a protag with a well-established personality <3 -- My personal top picks have got to be Katarina Hamefura & Teuta Bustafellows. It's fun to see how the mc's personality meshes with the different LI, and I like picking out a "best match" of each game based on chemistry with the heroine. :)

I think that's why I tend to struggle to get into some of the indie titles that have completely customizable mcs lol. It's a different style to get used to.

Though!! I did play a route of Killer Chat after you mentioned it yesterday! (Ronin's route - it felt like a natural 1st pick story-wise lol) And I really appreciate that the game has a default name because that's always my biggest struggle when making up an oc protag lol. I liked customizing Maya's sprite and playing as them because I do feel like their dedication to their writing and enthusiasm for lying about being a serial killer are pretty good defining character traits. I'll probably change her a little bit with each route I play lol. It's a great game, thanks for reminding me about it!!

I just started playing Lover Pretend because I needed to play something lighter as a break from Piofiore and oh my god this game is so CUTE. There's a very nostalgic feeling I keep getting while playing it, though I'm not completely sure where that comes from yet. Maybe the UI? It's super adorable and some elements of it kind of remind me of the DS games I used to play as a kid.

I'm currently on Chapter 2 of the common route, but I'm already looking forward to all 4 of the main routes. And Chiyuki is a really nice protagonist so far! I love that she has such clear-cut goals that she's focused on, and her relationship with romance is interesting too. I wouldn't necessarily call her aro like me, especially since one point of the game is that she wants to get over her "fear" of men and romance, but I always think it's nice to see an otome heroine who has more complex feelings about romance that make the plot more interesting. I doubt she'll be making it to the top of my favorite heroines list (Lynette and Teuta are hard opponents to beat), but she's definitely a contender so far.

i've finally transferred my save files for tmgs over to my new laptop. i'm planning on replaying after i finish persona 5 and writing the otojam game!

ooohh fun!!~

I'm making slow progress through year 3 but i should be done with my first playthrough in a little while! i just found out in the most ridiculous way that 2 dates in a row at the same location is a bad thing (literally not even my fault though. like i scheduled an amusement park date a few weeks out with madoka and then literally the next day he was like "let's go to the amusement park this sunday!" and like um. ok. impatient much? but what was i supposed to say, no?? lmao~)

but he still likes the mc a lot so who cares.

anywho~ out of curiosity, where are you at in p5? and are you playing royal?

I've been considering doing an NG+ run for either p5r or metaphor sometime soon (though i have a million other games i want to play too lol)

((also super excited to see ur otojam game!!!))

The Madoka Magica girls act the way they do largely because that’s what things are like when you’re 14. However for Homura, when you add up all the time she’s been in loops, she’s actually 26. You might think this means she has no excuse, but considering she’s been 14 years old for 12 years, I think she’s the most 14 any girl has ever been

Herotome Super Demo

SHE's OUT. She is HERE.

FINALLY

I've been working on this damned update since march 2021 I really hope yall like it 😭

Herotome (hero-otome) is a superhero dating sim: romance optional, ✨aroace-friendly.✨

You can now meet ALL five love interests in this first official 'episode' of the game and there's

50,000+  words. (It. is. massive.)

180+ dialogue choice trees.

Animated CGs.

You can even get achievements for petting your cat.

Do you want to save the day and impress everyone with your might and wit and skill? Or do you prefer being an absolute menace who fist fights their mentor in his office and sets fire to fan mail? Why not both?

I been solo funding this project out of pocket for half a decade and I'm not going anywhere until its DONE; if you like the game, pls consider sharing with your friends, hyping it up on social media, or supporting me on Ko-Fi~

Herotome is completely free to play. It comes with a walkthrough if you tip (or have ever spent) 2.99$ or more on the itch.io page, but you shouldn't need a walkthrough to beat the game.

Have fun!!!

Proper link to the demo will be in a reblog so tumblr doesnt nuke this post from search engines XOXO

Still genuinely baffles me every time I remember that the average person isn’t in some form of pain all the time.

Like..not even a tiny bit???

It’s actually crazy to me every time I remember that most people actually don’t experience pain outside of injuries.

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
